RUSH: “Trump Has Lowered Expectations For the Debates.”<\/a> This is clever. <\/p>\n

“Donald Trump said on Thursday he has ‘no idea\u2019 how he will perform in [the August 6th] Republican 2016 debate. Trump argued that he is a man of action rather than words during a news conference in Turnberry, Scotland,” at his golf course where the British Women\u2019s Open is. “‘As far as preparing for the debates, I am who I am,\u2019 he told ABC News. ‘I\u2019ve never debated before, I\u2019m not a debater,\u2019 Trump said. ‘I get things done. I don\u2019t talk about it, I get it done.'”<\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t have to debate in his organization. He is the final word. He tells people what to do. He doesn\u2019t debate anybody. He may ask his lawyer for an opinion now and then or this or that. But I think this is clever as hell. (paraphrased) “I don\u2019t know how I\u2019m going to do. I\u2019m not used to being subservient to other people. I\u2019m just not experienced at that.” (interruption) I\u2019ve never been to Trump\u2019s Turnberry course, no. I\u2019ve played Kingsbarns and the old course in Scotland. <\/p>\n

I played Carnoustie in steady… (interruption) St. Andrews, the old course. (interruption) Yeah, and the first time you play it you need a caddy, because you don\u2019t know where you\u2019re going. Some greens are used for two holes. They\u2019re long and you\u2019ll see two pins and the pins are different colors. But you have to have somebody going around with you that\u2019s played before. Carnoustie, I played in 40-miles-an-hour, sustained winds. Those winds were so strong that the wind would blow a 30-yard chip, a 30-yard shot 20 yards off course. <\/line><\/p>\n

You had to account for it. I\u2019ve played in windy conditions, but not 40-miles-an-hour sustained. 40 mile an hour gusts, yeah. Sustained, no. It was fun. It was fun. It was one of those things to be there, done that one time. So the old course, St. Andrews, Kingsbarns just up the road from St. Andrews, which is new. And we played Carnoustie and bopped over to Ireland played a K Club and Royal County Down and Portrush. Yeah, we made sure we went there. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I\u2019ve not been to Trump\u2019s course over there. But he said, “I don\u2019t know how I\u2019m going to do. I\u2019m not used to this. I don\u2019t defer to a lot of people. I\u2019m not a man of words. I do things. I\u2019m a man of action.” (interruption) I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen. Here\u2019s one thing that Jeb Bush, big Politico story today. Jeb Bush is being advised to pretend Trump isn\u2019t even on the stage. Do not go there. Do not get anywhere near him. Don\u2019t fall for any Trump trick. Don\u2019t get sucked into debating Trump. Don\u2019t do it. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the theory. This is what the Republican consultants are telling Jeb Bush: “Do not wrestle with a pig. You\u2019ll look silly. You can\u2019t win, and besides the pig likes it.” In this case Trump is the pig. So they\u2019re telling Jeb, “As best you can, Trump\u2019s not even there. Don\u2019t address him. Whatever you do, don\u2019t insult him either directly or by innuendo. Just pretend he\u2019s not there.” Now, do you think…? That kind of advice, that tells me that the people advising Jeb Bush firmly believe Trump is not going to last. <\/p>\n

And that there\u2019s really nothing you can do to help yourself right now by taking Trump out. The best you can do is not let Trump hurt you. And the best way to do that is to pretend he\u2019s not even there. “If he comes after you, don\u2019t even acknowledge that he said anything. Just stay on message and don\u2019t react to anything. No matter how tempting!” I think these consultants and their advice is predicated on the fact that in the normal scheme of things, Jeb Bush is way up here on a pedestal and all the others are way up here on a pedestal in terms of professional politics. <\/line><\/p>\n

And Trump\u2019s down here at the novice level. <\/p>\n

And what they\u2019re telling him is, “You do not go down to be a novice. Don\u2019t get into an argument with a fool because people can\u2019t tell the difference.” That\u2019s their active strategy. That tells me that they think Trump is temporary, that he\u2019s not in their league, that he\u2019s rogue and rough around the edges. It tells me they don\u2019t get Trump yet. They do not understand yet why Trump is working, why Trump has the support. This could come back and bite them. I mean, we\u2019ve seen what happens in a debate when you pretend your opponent\u2019s not there. It happened to Mitt Romney after the first debate. The second debate was sort of milquetoast. The third debate was one of the biggest blown opportunities in presidential history that I can ever recall. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Moving over to Donald Trump. Donald Trump has launched an all-out attack on Huma and Weiner, and it\u2019s in the UK Daily Mail<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know of a single Republican, elected or otherwise, who would ever go after Huma. But Trump is doing it. And I don\u2019t know anybody else who would call Hillary criminal, but Trump is. Trump said that Clinton\u2019s handling of her e-mails from the start was terrible. It\u2019s criminal. I\u2019ve said it before, and I\u2019ll say it again, it\u2019s criminal what she did. He is saying Hillary\u2019s right-hand woman Huma Abedin Weiner is…<\/p>\n

The first thing he does is call Weiner “the worst deviant in the United States.” I mean, what Trump does is verbalize what everybody knows about these people. He verbalizes it. He says it. And I don\u2019t know about you, when I endeavor to talk politics with people outside of the radio show since 2008, you don\u2019t… The scuttlebutt about Huma, rumors about Hillary and Huma? It\u2019s all anybody that I know on the conservative side cared about. They thought there\u2019s always been a story about the relationship between Hillary and Huma. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s more than anything else about what does Huma know and who the hell is Huma? What is she privileged to? Who is Huma Abedin? A mother? Is this or that. Is she a security risk or whatever? But the point is ,none of them would ever say it publicly. They would talk to me about it. They\u2019d send me e-mails about it. They\u2019d whisper about it. None of them. I\u2019m talking about politicians, elected officials. I\u2019m talking about commentators, people that you see on Fox every day and night. <\/p>\n

They would talk. <\/p>\n

They\u2019d try to get me to talk about Huma. But they didn\u2019t do it. <\/p>\n

Some of them a couple of them wrote columns about it. Other than that, it was all scuttlebutt people talked about but not publicly. Here comes Trump launching publicly on both Huma and Weiner. “Donald Trump argues Hillary Clinton\u2019s chief of staff is a security liability because of her marriage to … Anthony Weiner. The person seeing her emails more than anybody else is Huma. And who\u2019s Huma married to?<\/line><\/p>\n

“The worst deviant in the United States of America.\u2019 Hillary shares ‘confidential, top-of-the-line secrets\u2019 with confidante Huma Abedin, Trump says, who then likely spills them to her husband. Weiner was forced out of Congress after carrying on online relationships with women including an adult film…” That\u2019s not what he was doing! He was sending them pictures of… his wiener. He was sending people pictures, nude pictures of himself. <\/p>\n

“Weiner was forced out of Congress after carrying on online relationships … He now has a six-figure contract Trump cannot believe that. Trump cannot. Here\u2019s the biggest deviant, “worst deviant” in the United States. Trump did this interview in his New York office with the Daily Mail. Trump said “that ‘the person seeing her emails more than anybody else is Huma. And who\u2019s Huma married to? The worst deviant in the United States of America, right? Weiner!\u2019<\/p>\n

“Challenged on whether the former New York congressman is actually the nation\u2019s ‘worst deviant,\u2019 Trump retreated an inch: ‘Well, he\u2019s right up there.'” He\u2019s a loser! But the point is nobody else goes there. Nobody else says these obvious things that everybody is thinking or asking, and then he sent shockwaves through the entire American left yesterday by announcing his attorney general pick: Trey Gowdy. <\/p>\n

He said his attorney general would be Trey Gowdy. Well, Trey Gowdy is who\u2019s trying to nail Hillary on Benghazi. But more importantly, Trey Gowdy is a conservative and he\u2019s a no-nonsense prosecutor, and he\u2019s the exact opposite of the kind of person the left wants either as attorney general or anywhere else in law enforcement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
