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

RUSH: Just released at 12 noon today: “Trump Hits a New High in National Poll<\/a> — Donald Trump just got a little more vault in his ceiling. Nationwide, the polling-obsessed Manhattan multi-billionaire –” What is this nationwide the polling obsessed? Who\u2019s polling obsessed here if it isn\u2019t the media? What the hell? Why can\u2019t you just report the number? Let me give you the number. Trump\u2019s up to 41%. This is the Monmouth University poll. <\/p>\n

Surveying voters identifying as Republican or independents leaning toward the GOP, Trump is at 41, nearly tripling the support of his closest rival, Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz, in the Monmouth poll is at 14%. Now, this is a nationwide poll. This is not Iowa. This is a national poll. <\/p>\n

And there\u2019s a Quinnipiac poll out released this morning. “Trump and Cruz in a Virtual Tie in Iowa<\/a>.” CBS Eyewitness News 2 new Quinnipiac University presidential poll released today shows Trump and Cruz in a virtual dead heat in Iowa. The poll shows Trump with 28% support among likely Iowa cauci participants, Cruz 27%, Marco Rubio a distant third at 14, Dr. Carson is next at 10%, and is the only other candidate with at least 5%. So after you get to Carson at 10, nobody — Rubio, Jeb, Fiorina, Christie, nobody\u2019s above 5% in the Quinnipiac poll. <\/p>\n

Now, once again, you have something to consider here to show you this is nowhere near over. Trump has 41%. Now, if this poll is accurate, then this is getting close to wrap-up time. When Trump is at 28, 30%, the sum total of everybody-not-Trump is gonna be either that or more than that. So when you look at the Republican primary itself, you could honestly say that there are more people opposed to Trump than for him. Now, you may not want to put it that way, but that\u2019s the way you\u2019d have to slice and dice it. <\/line><\/p>\n

If the sum total of all the other candidates is a number greater than Trump\u2019s 30%, then you would have to say that the voters who supports somebody other than Trump is a greater number than what Trump\u2019s is. So as the field winnows, as it will, it\u2019s really important where those voters go. Say if Christie gets it. I\u2019m just picking names here. I don\u2019t know who\u2019s gonna get out. If Christie gets out, Rand Paul gets out, if Kasich, Fiorina, where do their voters go? If their voters go to Cruz, big, go to Trump, also big. This we won\u2019t know for a while, which is why I just found it extremely interesting the way Trump chose to go after Cruz, echoing the Republican establishment. I mean, one of the reasons Trump is doing so well is that he is perceived as the biggest anti-establishment candidate of the bunch. <\/p>\n

I think also in this Monmouth poll that shows Trump at 41, you can\u2019t take San Bernardino out of that. The fact that the San Bernardino thing happened and the Regime\u2019s response to it has been pathetic, and Trump is the one guy who has stood up, and without any excuses, proclaimed what he would do. In fact, he\u2019s got a new slogan out there now. Grab audio sound bite number nine. Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace said, “This week you\u2019ve been called a bigot. You\u2019ve been called a fascist. You\u2019ve been called a demagogue. I looked up the word ‘demagogue\u2019 in the dictionary. It says somebody, a public official who seeks support based on appealing to people\u2019s fear and prejudice. Is that what you\u2019re doing, Donald?”<\/p>\n

TRUMP: It\u2019s the opposite. It\u2019s called make America great again. It\u2019s the opposite. I want to make our country safe. In fact, I want to add to it. Make America great again. Make America safe again. It\u2019s not safe. We\u2019re living in fear. I\u2019m not creating the fear. People are living in fear. Look, there\u2019s a problem. You don\u2019t have to admit it, you never will \u2019cause you always want to be politically correct. Your father would have admitted it, okay?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) That\u2019s not necessarily true, but it\u2019s still funny. He\u2019s talking about Mike Wallace, Chris Wallace\u2019s dad, for you Millennials out there. Anyway, so he\u2019s got this new slogan: Make America safe, as well as make America great. He said something else on this show. He accused Hillary Clinton of being responsible for hundreds and hundreds of thousands of deaths. <\/p>\n

And Chris Wallace, of course, was taken aback. “Well, what do you mean, she\u2019s responsible?” He says (paraphrasing), “I mean, look at Benghazi. And I\u2019m not just talking Benghazi. But look everywhere she and Obama have had their policies. Look what\u2019s happening. There\u2019s war everywhere. Thousands, hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of people are being killed. It\u2019s because of Obama and Hillary policies.” <\/p>\n

There\u2019s nobody else out there saying that, I guarantee you. There are tons of Americans who agree with it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
