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

RUSH: Here is Dave in Des Moines, Iowa. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello. You have a prediction, it says here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Hawkeye Cauci dittos to you, Rush, and thanks for taking my call. It\u2019s an honor to speak with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. Appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have a prediction on tonight\u2019s debate that will not only win the debate outright but also clinch the election all in one move. Trump announces that he and Ben Carson are now a team, Trump of course on top, and Dr. Carson is VP. The top two in the polls are united as a team.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you actually predicting this tonight, or is it something that you think if it did happen, it would —<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it might be wishful thinking on my part. But if I, a humble listener, can think of it, then Trump and Carson can certainly think of it, too.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, for that to happen you would have to somehow get to Ben Carson and tell him, “Ben, the best you\u2019re gonna do is lose, and then run the risk that I don\u2019t choose you as VP. So, Ben, we can do it this way. You acknowledge tonight that I\u2019m gonna win this thing and you don\u2019t have a chance, and in exchange for that you drop out, and I will announce that you are my VP, and then we own it after that.”<\/p>\n

Now, if Ben Carson would go for that, then you might have a point. But I don\u2019t think Ben Carson is going to acknowledge here, in September, before the new iPhones have even come out, that he is going to lose the nomination. Which is what he would have to do. <\/p>\n

Snerdley, you know, I know how call screeners work, folks. I mean, Snerdley put this call up for a reason. Snerdley thinks this guy\u2019s got a point, that it could very well happen. Either that or Snerdley just wants to hear what I think about it. He thinks I\u2019m gonna have some reaction. And I don\u2019t know. This just seems too — (interruption) Well, I think I understand why Ted Cruz is cozying up. Snerdley asked, “What do you think about Ted Cruz cozying up?” Look, you had to ask me this, you had to ask me. <\/p>\n

One of the things that surprises me is that Cruz is at 7%. I wanted Cruz to explode here in this process, and he may still yet. But I didn\u2019t have any preference. As you know, I don\u2019t choose, I don\u2019t endorse during primaries, but I did expect Cruz to be doing better than one point better than Jeb. So we\u2019ll see. As I say, this debate\u2019s gonna be interesting for many reasons and in a lot of ways. Well, I know, Jeb\u2019s coming with both barrels tonight, and he\u2019s gonna show you what low energy really means. That\u2019s what Jeb said tonight. He\u2019s gonna show everybody what low energy really looks like. He\u2019s gonna come out with both barrels tonight. Anyway, I appreciate the call, Dave. Thanks much. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
