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

RUSH: A lot of people are stunned. Right before the program today, Mitt Romney did a no mas, no mas, and pulled out, in a conference call to donors. It\u2019s fascinating. When I first saw it I started getting e-mail from people because, of course, everybody thinks I would not know this. I get e-mail from people: “Hey, Rush, did you see this? Romney\u2019s pulled out.” <\/p>\n

“No! Really?” And then the theories abounded, and one of the big theories was that Romney had just handed the nomination to Jeb. That\u2019s the budding conventional wisdom, but Romney did not hand anything to Jeb. If anything, Romney jabbed Jeb on the way out of this. <\/p>\n

Let me read to you the money quote, what Romney said to his donors, supporters, or what have you. By the way, CNN had the tape<\/a>. CNN got the whole conference call. I got the transcript of it right here at Real Clear Politics. CNN airs personal call from Romney telling supporters he\u2019ll not run for president. Wasn\u2019t it CNN who had that video of Romney telling his supporters that 47% of the country would never vote for him? I don\u2019t know, somebody in the Romney camp\u2019s got an in at CNN. <\/line><\/p>\n

Anyway, the money quote, this is what Romney said: “I believe that one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one who may not be as well known as I am today –“<\/p>\n

Well, that eliminates anybody that\u2019s currently in the running. It eliminates Jeb Bush. It limits Chris Christie. Speaking of which, did you know Christie\u2019s got a new PAC? Have you seen the acronym of Christie\u2019s new PAC<\/a>? Why didn\u2019t I put this at the top? Let me find it. I should have put it at the top. I just didn\u2019t think I was gonna be talking about it at the top. His new PAC, I don\u2019t even know the name of it, but the acronym is LFM. It\u2019s like “laughing out loud.” I shouldn\u2019t even brought it up here, folks, because I didn\u2019t put it aside and I\u2019ve just distracted you. Not me. <\/p>\n

Back to Romney. It makes it very clear here that he\u2019s looking at somebody who\u2019s not thought of in terms of conventional wisdom. “I believe that one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one who may not be as well known as I am today, one who has not yet taken their message across the country, one who is just getting started, may well emerge as being better able to defeat the Democrat nominee. In fact, I expect and hope that to be the case.<\/p>\n

“I feel that it\u2019s critical that America elect a conservative leader to become our next president. You know that I wanted to be that president. But I do not want to make it more difficult for someone else to emerge who may have a better chance of becoming that president. You can\u2019t imagine how hard it is for Ann and me to step aside especially knowing of your support and the support of so many people across the country. We believe it\u2019s for the best of the party and the nation.”<\/p>\n

Now, this came after a big donor of Romney\u2019s yanked his support. I mean, I don\u2019t have the guy\u2019s name in front of me. I\u2019d never heard of this guy before. I think he\u2019s just one of many. So there\u2019s a financial reason here, too. But I\u2019ve often said that I don\u2019t think you\u2019ll find, just in terms of human character, a finer man in politics than Mitt Romney. Just in terms of his character, manners, you know, all the things that you use in judging and describing just a decent man, a fine man, a good guy, it\u2019s Mitt Romney. As a politician, not so much. But as a human being, they don\u2019t come much better. <\/p>\n

Some people are thinking now that Romney may have just secured the nomination for whoever the Republican nominee is by virtue of him getting out of this. It\u2019s hard not to like Romney on a personal level, just talking about normal, well-balanced human being. Romney was humble. He saw his strengths. He saw his weaknesses. I think he\u2019s a good man. I think he\u2019s a thoughtful man. But that doesn\u2019t mean that he\u2019s the best candidate, and he has come to the same conclusion. <\/line><\/p>\n

I think this is why, as a person, Romney appeals to so many people. When you contrast Mitt Romney with Barack Obama or Mitt Romney with Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, the man, stands far above, high above and way apart from anybody the Democrats would put up. But the problem is he\u2019s already run and lost. And his candidacy saw something like four million Republican voters in 2012 stay home. So one of his big money people pulled out and said, “Basically, look, I like the guy, but we need to go in a different direction.” <\/p>\n

Also, ladies and gentlemen, I ran into not long ago a very staunch Romney supporter. I mean someone from Boston and someone who had given enough money and worked hard enough that, had Romney won in 2012, this guy that I\u2019m talking to or somebody\u2019s family might have been an ambassador to someplace decent. You know, not a posting to outer Mongolia. I mean, that\u2019s how close and that\u2019s how significant the work for Romney was. <\/p>\n

So this was about three months ago, maybe two now, and I ran into the guy, and I said, “Look, I know everybody\u2019s probably bugging you about this, but what can you tell me? Do you think Romney\u2019s gonna run?” And this guy looked at me and said, “I hope not.” I was totally taken aback. He said, “We need a fighter. I love the guy, he\u2019s a great guy, but we need a fighter.” And then this guy told me he liked Rick Perry for that reason. <\/p>\n

So that was my first indication, and I\u2019ve told you this story before. For those of you that listen every day, you\u2019ve heard this. That was my first indication that something was not right throughout the Romney operation. I mean, for this man that I\u2019m talking about to essentially have bowed out, and now we have another who\u2019s done so, it\u2019s clear now that the conventional wisdom is it\u2019s now Jeb Bush\u2019s nomination to lose. And the reason that they\u2019re saying that is because this frees up all the donors in the Republican Party to go in on one guy rather than splitting the donation.<\/p>\n

If Romney had stayed in, and you\u2019ve got Jeb out there, and even Christie, then what\u2019s called the donor class of the Republican Party — and they\u2019re not conservatives. I mean, some of them are, but for the most part they\u2019re moderate. They trend liberal geographically, they\u2019re Northeastern. But they are not conservative, and they\u2019re not conservative because of social issues. They are actively adamantly opposed to conservatives because of social issues. Well, they make up the donor class of the Republican Party, which is a lot of money. And it was thought that if Romney\u2019s in and Jeb\u2019s in and Christie\u2019s in and that money is gonna be divvied up three ways, which then opens it up for a conservative couple or three candidates to make inroads. <\/p>\n

Now with Romney out, the donor class money doesn\u2019t get divvied up. I mean, Chris Christie\u2019s actually gonna be very happy about this. He can make a move on some of the donor class money. But as I read what Romney said here, it doesn\u2019t sound to me like he\u2019s talking about Jeb Bush. A lot of his money people are going there. But when he says, “I believe that one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one who may not be as well known as I am today.” Well, Jeb\u2019s as well known as Romney is. And Christie is as well known as Romney is. <\/p>\n

I mean, who isn\u2019t? Who isn\u2019t? Well, Scott Walker probably would be in the class not as well known. Where would you put Cruz in this? (interruption) Okay, Cruz clearly well known, and among the donor class types that we have been talking about, Cruz is not fancied. Put it that way. They\u2019re afraid of Cruz. They don\u2019t like Cruz. Cruz is great. Don\u2019t anybody jump in my chili here. I\u2019m not endorsing anybody. Let me say this up front. (interruption) Well, see, Rand Paul, I don\u2019t know where Romney would come down on Rand Paul. I don\u2019t personally know where Romney would put Rand Paul. <\/p>\n

But Rand Paul, this is a really tough thing. “I believe that one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one who may not be as well known as I am today, one who has not yet taken their message across the country.” Well, Rand Paul has. He\u2019s been out there. He\u2019s got a strategy. He\u2019s been to California. He\u2019s been everywhere. Walker is the one that hasn\u2019t been outside Wisconsin yet. He went to Iowa and that\u2019s it, in terms of the path that you take. He didn\u2019t name anybody, Romney didn\u2019t, but it\u2019s opened up a big guessing game. <\/p>\n

The Denver Post<\/a> here with a story: “Key Romney Donors and Longtime Staffer Moving Toward Bush.” This was written before he had decided. “As Mitt Romney closes in on a decision about whether to again run for president, he does so without several major donors who supported him in the past and a veteran Iowa staffer — defections all to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. The donors, in interviews with The Associated Press, said they see in Bush what they liked about Romney in 2012,” and presumably don\u2019t like about him now. And that is “the capacity to serve successfully as president, but also something Romney could not muster over two campaigns: the personality and senior staff needed to win the White House.”<\/p>\n

These donors all say that Jeb\u2019s got the ability to put together a senior staff and combine it with a personality that is needed to win. “Chicago investor Craig Duchossois –” this is reputed to be the big donor that announced his pull out “– whose wife contributed $250,000 to a pro-Romney super PAC while he collected tens of thousands more for Romney\u2019s last campaign, said, ‘I\u2019ve got great respect for Gov. Romney, and I busted my buns for him, but I have turned the page.'”<\/p>\n

Now, this Denver Post story was written, cleared at about 3:30 in the morning Eastern time today, and here\u2019s this paragraph: “The defections to Bush do not, as of yet, appear so definitive as to keep Romney from the race.” Well, they turned out to be. I mean, you can\u2019t say that these defections, particularly the money people, were not a factor in the decision. They have to be. It\u2019s all about money. So that\u2019s where we are with that. And look, just because Romney said that he believes that one of our next generation Republican leaders who has not yet taken the message across the country will emerge, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s gonna happen. <\/line><\/p>\n

But it is a slap. It\u2019s a swipe at the rest of the field. Essentially Romney is saying, “Look, I\u2019m getting out of this, and we don\u2019t have a prayer if the names you know are the only people that we have get in the race, \u2019cause the names you know don\u2019t have a prayer of beating Hillary or whoever.” That\u2019s what the message is. It better be somebody we don\u2019t know yet. It better be somebody filled with energy, young, ready to make his mark, conservative and so forth. Which eliminates all the other people that are currently thought of to be in the race. <\/p>\n

Let me take a quick break here. We\u2019ll be back and continue here with all the rest of the program. Oh. Christie\u2019s PAC. LeadershipMattersforAmerica.org, which is LMFAO, laughing my fat rear end off, is the acronym. (laughing) LeadershipMattersforAmerica.org is the acronym. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, it\u2019s amazing. Since, I guess, Monday — yeah, Monday this week — it\u2019s amazing how many blogs and other places are now on the Scott Walker bandwagon. You know what I did? I went back to my website. I went back and I searched. I wanted to find the earliest mention of Scott Walker as a man showing the way — with a blueprint, how to win — and how long I\u2019ve been talking about this, and how long I was the only one talking about it. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now to see all the people getting on the bandwagon — which I did, and that\u2019s coming up. <\/p>\n

Bill Gates is worried about artificial intelligence, along with Stephen Hawking. You know, wouldn\u2019t it be great if these brilliant wizards of smart were as worried about artificial compassion and artificial government and artificial caring? Wouldn\u2019t it be great if these wizards had to say something about that? What is this being afraid of artificial intelligence, for crying out loud? How about being afraid of artificial patriots? <\/p>\n

Anyway, I got little rant coming on that. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Romney from the phone call, the conference call to his donors. We\u2019ve got a couple sound bites.<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: I\u2019m convinced that we could win the nomination. But I fully realize it would have been a difficult task and a hard fight. … I would have the best chance of beating the eventual Democrat nominee, but that\u2019s before the other contenders have had the opportunity to take their message to the voters. I believe that one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one who may not be as well known as I am today, one who has not yet taken their message across the country, one who is just getting started, may well emerge as being better able to defeat the Democrat nominee. In fact, I expect and hope that to be the case.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s obvious. The conclusion here is that Romney… (interruption) Who am I forgetting? I\u2019m naturally thinking that he\u2019s talking about Scott Walker, but there could be others that he means. He might think, for example, that Cruz has not taken his message to the country. What does that mean? Does that mean you\u2019ve not been in a primary fight? Does that mean you\u2019ve not gone to Iowa? Does that not mean you have gone around the country as a potential presidential nominee? He could be talking about more than Scott Walker here. Time will tell.<\/p>\n

But the more important thing is, he\u2019s clearly slapping at the remaining moderates in the field, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie and you name it, all the others.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, okay. Romney met with Jeb in Salt Lake City. I do remember that. So people ask, “Okay, well, what if Jeb maybe offered Romney the VP if he stayed out?” Do you think…? Here\u2019s a guy who ran for president, who wants to run again but his donors are pulling out — which is really probably what this is all about. Romney clearly thinks he could win again. Romney clearly wants to win again. He wanted it.<\/p>\n

But the money people are pulling out, and there are other candidates those money people want to go to. I mean, that pretty much spells the doom. I mean, that seals the fate. But even if — and theories abound. Even if Jeb Bush had offered Romney the veep, I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s enough. Would that be enough for Romney to get out of the race? I don\u2019t know. The way these people operate is sometimes hard to understand, difficult to understand when you get into their egos and their own professional self-assessments. <\/p>\n

At the same time, I\u2019ll just share with you thoughts off the top of my head. They could be proved wrong down the road, but when we have Romney\u2019s statement, “I believe that one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one who may not be as well known as I am today, one who has not yet taken their message across the country,” can you see Romney talking up somebody like Scott Walker? Can you see that? Can you envision that down the road? Can you see \u2019em together on a campaign trail? <\/p>\n

Can you see Romney talking up Ted Cruz on a campaign trail? Can you see Romney really working hard for Rand Paul? You can try to envision these things to try to figure out who he\u2019s talking about. And eventually we will know, of course. But it really is gonna boil down to the money. Like, for example, did I hear this right, that Romney is supposed to have dinner with Christie tonight? Big whoop now. If he\u2019s talking about Scott Walker… I mean, Chris Christie does not fit this definition. <\/line><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the second sound bite we have of Romney and the phone call to his supporters in his conference call just this morning.<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: I feel that it\u2019s critical that America elect a conservative leader to become our next president. You know that I wanted to be that president. But I do not want to make it more difficult for someone else to emerge who may have a better chance of becoming that president. You can\u2019t imagine how hard it is for Ann and me to step aside especially knowing of your support and the support of so many people across the country. But we believe it\u2019s for the best of the party and the nation. I\u2019ve been asked, and will certainly be asked again, if there are any circumstances whatsoever that might develop that could change my mind. That seems unlikely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you one thing that could, and that is if the money people change their minds. It all boils down to that. I don\u2019t think we would be here talking about this today, were it not for the news that all of these big donors have decided to go in a different direction. Now, let me read this to you one more time. I\u2019m just asking you people what you think here right out front: “I believe that one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one who may not be as well known as I am today, one who has not yet taken their message across the country, one who is just getting started…”<\/p>\n

Could that be, in Romney\u2019s world, Jeb Bush? <\/p>\n

Could Jeb Bush fit that criteria as Romney is talking about it, “somebody who may not be as well known as I am today”? It seemed to us sitting here (and I\u2019m sure you, too) that Jeb Bush is as well known as Romney, for the last name alone, right? “[O]ne who has not yet taken their message across the country”? Well, that\u2019s a little stickier proposition, \u2019cause has Jeb taken his message across the country? I mean, Jeb only recently (and even quasi-officially) made it the real deal, right? (interruption)<\/p>\n

Well, no. Don\u2019t muddy the waters here yet, Snerdley. “Well, what message does Jeb Bush have anyway?” We know what the message is. We know what with the message is. “Win without the base. Somehow find a way to win by supporting amnesty for illegals and Common Core.” That\u2019s Jeb\u2019s message. Does Romney actually think that is a dark horse message that\u2019s gonna come out of nowhere and sweep Republican primary voters off their feet? We just don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n

Believe me, folks, when it comes to these moderate Republicans and how they think, it remains a mystery. We often make the mistake of attaching our own thought processes to people. Sometimes that\u2019s a huge mistake. So we\u2019ll just have to wait and see. Are you also kind of amazed at how big a story it is that Romney\u2019s not running? I mean, it\u2019s big. It stopped the presses on the cable news networks. <\/p>\n

“Oh, my God, Romney\u2019s not running! Whoa! Oh, threw it wide open.” <\/p>\n

Of course to these people who cover it, it\u2019s just a game, just the sport of things. The actual impact of any of this, that\u2019s more much later. This is just too much fun, as far as they\u2019re concerned. This is their Super Bowl. You know, the presidential elections, handicapping it: Figuring out who\u2019s got the best chances, the best tactics, the best strategy, who can run the best ads, who can be the best slimeball artist and all, who can withstand the most sliming.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the kind of stuff that excites the media. But what they really think issue-wise and what all that means to the country? That\u2019s not even a factor yet. And don\u2019t forget: Over here, out of view right now, is Hillary Clinton. Because everybody in this world, everybody in the Mitt Romney world, everybody in the media world, everybody in the Republican establishment world thinks that the Democrat nominee is going to be Hillary. <\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t anybody else. “Elizabeth Warren? Eh. Howard Dean? Eh. Joe Biden? Nah.” They really have concluded that Hillary is the nominee, like they do every four years, every eight years. It\u2019s just by rote. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a name that I forgot when Mitt Romney\u2019s talking about somebody that\u2019s not on the national scene, has yet to take the message nationally, and that would be Dr. Carson, Dr. Ben Carson. I don\u2019t know that Romney had him in mind, but he fits the description that Romney gave of who he hopes emerges as the Republican nominee. … And could he have meant Senator Rubio? He could have meant Senator Marco Rubio. <\/p>\n

The conventional wisdom was that if Jeb Bush got in, that Rubio would not, because they\u2019re both from Florida and they would split the Florida donor base. But Rubio didn\u2019t appear to get that memo. Rubio appears to be in it. A lot of great guys with great conservative potential in the Republican primary field, and the establishment is gonna be gunning for all of them. They\u2019re gonna do what they always try to do. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re gonna try to split the conservative primary vote just like they did last time and end up with their chosen mainstream moderate sort of RINO-type nominee. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
