\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

Dr. Krauthammer, on The O\u2019Reilly Factor last night on the Fox News Channel, O\u2019Reilly says, “Trump at 41% nationwide. It is conceivable that Trump will run against Hillary. Is it not?”<\/p>\n

KRAUTHAMMER: It would make the Goldwater result of 1964 look like a Republican victory. Hillary is an intrinsically weak candidate, not trusted by the electorate, who could in this year could easily be defeated by a half dozen Republicans. I don\u2019t think that she can be defeated by Donald Trump. I still think he can win the nomination within the GOP, but when you go to the wider world and the wider constituencies, I don\u2019t think that he has a chance of winning, and I also think that there is a chance of a complete collapse on the part of the Republicans that could jeopardize their hold on the Senate, and in an extreme case, even perhaps their hold on the House.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, I want to take you all back to 1964. I realize many of you were alive then, but some of you might have been too young to be paying attention, and even if you were alive in \u201964, you probably are unaware of much more than Goldwater lost in a landslide, and you\u2019ve heard that the establishment hated Goldwater, they couldn\u2019t take him out, and then Reagan came along, they took Reagan out. And Goldwater is where Reagan made a name for himself and launched. You probably know those basics. But there\u2019s a lot about 1964 that people don\u2019t know. <\/line><\/p>\n

And Dr. Krauthammer, what he says reminded me of some of the things that went on in 1964 when Goldwater was that year\u2019s Trump, meaning the establishment hated his guts. Now, they hated Goldwater because he was conservative, but after that, the reasons are pretty similar. He\u2019s out of control. You never know what he\u2019s gonna do. He\u2019s dangerous, he\u2019s irresponsible, you don\u2019t want his finger on the nuclear button launch codes. The Republicans were saying this. So when it looked like Goldwater was going to win the Republican nomination, the Republican establishment convened a super-secret meeting to try to take it away from him at the convention, just as we heard that there was a super-secret dinner last week where members of the establishment were plotting ways to take it away from Trump if he wins it. <\/p>\n

Now, back in 1964, the suspects were George Romney, Nelson Rockefeller, and I forget the third, but there were three of them that were attempting to have either a brokered convention or some other move designed to take it away from Goldwater. And they employed Nixon. They called Richard Nixon, who at the time was on the sidelines. And they said, “Richard, we want you to do what we need you to do to get rid of Goldwater.” And Nixon refused. Nixon refused to play the game and in fact became a bigger campaigner for Goldwater than Goldwater even was for himself. <\/line><\/p>\n

But the point is, the same thing was said back then as being said today. And it became a self-fulfilling prophecy because the Republican establishment participated in torpedoing Goldwater. They didn\u2019t want him elected. They didn\u2019t want to win that election with Goldwater running. But because Goldwater ran, didn\u2019t matter he lost in a landslide, because that 1964 election is what actually gave birth to what you now know as the modern conservative era, and nothing has been the same in the Republican Party since. Now, one of the things that\u2019s consistent here, the establishment thinks that Trump can\u2019t win, can\u2019t beat Hillary. <\/p>\n

They thought Goldwater couldn\u2019t win, couldn\u2019t beat LBJ. Didn\u2019t matter. He couldn\u2019t beat Kennedy if it was Kennedy. They didn\u2019t want him to, and the establishment this year does not want Trump to beat the Democrat. They don\u2019t want Trump to be the nominee. They\u2019re not crazy about Cruz, either. But as I say — and I\u2019ll find it in the stuff coming up — there are some establishment figures now beginning to speak a little bit more tolerantly of Cruz, just a couple of \u2019em. And it\u2019s by no means universal.<\/p>\n

My only point is that what is happening this year has happened before. It happened back in 1964 for different reasons. Goldwater was conservative. That\u2019s why he was no good. Trump is considered no good because they don\u2019t control him. He\u2019s not part of them. He doesn\u2019t have his power, he doesn\u2019t have his support base by any mechanism they know and are accustomed to, so he poses a huge threat. He poses a huge threat to the very existence of the Republican establishment. And so does Cruz, which is why they\u2019re all circling the wagons now. <\/p>\n

This talk about how nobody can beat Hillary? You know why they\u2019re saying that right now, among other reasons? Because Hillary is not saying anything. You know the old saw: The less she speaks, the higher her numbers go? She\u2019s a horrible campaigner. The idea that Hillary Clinton can\u2019t be beat is gonna be blown out of the water once the campaign begins and Hillary has to go out and speak every day. When she has to go out and speak, when she has to make public appearances, her numbers historically have dropped; in some cases, they\u2019ve plummeted. <\/p>\n

But she hasn\u2019t been hurt from it. They schedule… They have a debate Saturday night. You know what else is going on Saturday night? New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys. What do you think people are gonna watch? Nobody\u2019s gonna watch the Democrat debate Saturday night. Exactly as planned. Because the more people hear of Hillary, the less they like her. So, yeah, it\u2019s easy to say now that there isn\u2019t anybody who could beat Hillary because her poll numbers are up because she\u2019s not talking. Wait \u2019til she starts talking.<\/p>\n

Those polls numbers are not gonna stay high. <\/p>\n

They never do in her case. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
