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

RUSH: There are days that I actually ask myself, how is it that Democrats win elections? Look at Hillary Clinton, big memoir, right, big book. Nobody bought it. What was the size of her advance? How big an advance did she get? Help me out here. Was it 14 million, was it 7 million? It was millions of dollars, millions, and the publisher puts out all these press releases and hosts cocktail parties, such a big deal, and nobody bought it. She\u2019s not that popular, contrary to what everybody thinks. <\/p>\n

If it weren\u2019t for voter fraud, I am more and more convinced — I\u2019ve got some stories in the Stack today to back this up. They\u2019re just not that popular. Look, Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, has a new book. It\u2019s his autobiography. And do you know how many people care about Andrew Cuomo\u2019s life? Nine-hundred-forty-five books sold the first week. Well, I know he\u2019s got a big family, so some people even besides the family, 945 hardcover copies in its first week<\/a>. This from the New York Times. <\/line><\/p>\n

It was reported in a previous New York Times story that Cuomo had received an over $700,000 advance for the book. It was supposed to be published in August. They moved it back. Yeah, it was between $8 million and $14 million for Hillary, and nobody bought it. Nine-hundred-forty-five books for Andrew Cuomo. They are not popular. They are not personally popular. <\/p>\n

So many people are living, including in the Republican Party, living under so many false and wrong myths about the love and adulation people have for Democrats. I know the Democrats — look, I\u2019m not trying to refute reality. Don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m telling you they\u2019re not as popular as people want us to believe and they want you to believe. They\u2019re not rock stars. <\/p>\n

The Republican Party has a branding problem, more than anything else. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Andrew Cuomo, 945 books sold. Hillary Clinton, $14 million for her book that was just out that nobody bought<\/a>. There are reports of voter fraud, and Obama\u2019s encouraging — well, I gotta be very careful about that. You\u2019ll hear when the story comes up. But this multiple voter registration, dead people, it\u2019s reached an all-time high. <\/p>\n

<\/a>I\u2019m convinced that the Democrats, irrespective of who wins elections, I\u2019m just here to tell you they are not universally loved and adored. They are not thought to be hip and cool from top to bottom. They are not thought to be rock stars. They are not thought to be infallible. We\u2019re living under a false pretense, false image, false brand created by the Democrats and the media that the Republican Party happens to believe, frankly. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is my point. There\u2019s a story at something called Watchdog.org. And the story is: “Cook County Ballot Box Tries to Cast GOP Votes for Democrats.” It\u2019s been discovered. No, that\u2019s Cook County. Everybody expects that. My point is, that kind of stuff is happening all over the country, I\u2019m convinced of it. <\/p>\n

Now, in the past I have downplayed these charges of voter fraud, not downplayed their existence, but I\u2019ve downplayed the fact it\u2019s a big factor, because it would have to be so massive to explain all these Democrat victories, but I\u2019m beginning to have second thoughts about this. <\/p>\n

The more I see it happening the more it\u2019s uncovered, and then you apply common sense. The Democrat Party and individual Democrats are not loved and adored like you are told to believe. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, respected, loved and adored, admired, give me a break. We know that\u2019s not true. Hillary Clinton, ditto. Kay Hagan, North Carolina. Al Franken, these people are not loved and adored. Hillary can\u2019t sell any books. Andrew Cuomo can\u2019t sell any books. They don\u2019t have any audience on their cable news shows. They\u2019re not these rock star, popular, admirable figures that people run around emulating and wish they were like. It\u2019s not that way. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s more of a branding issue that the Republican Party has, I think, than anything positive the Democrats are exuding. If it were the case, they\u2019d never lose anything. If it were so true that the Democrats were universally loved, adored, respected, and popular, we wouldn\u2019t be looking at polling data like that that we\u2019re seeing today. And why am I mentioning this? ‘Cause I\u2019m trying to keep everybody\u2019s mood up. There\u2019s no reason to get defeatist. I mean, it\u2019s frustrating because to me this stuff is over-comable. It\u2019s beatable. <\/line><\/p>\n

The frustration is that we just don\u2019t have a Republican Party that seems to know how, in some cases not even interested. But some of this stuff doesn\u2019t make any sense. Some of these people that win elections, some of these people that lead, doesn\u2019t make any sense. You can\u2019t tell me that people in North Carolina think Kay Hagan is any great stuff. This is a woman that didn\u2019t even show up in her debate last night, and she didn\u2019t show up at her debate because she didn\u2019t want to be forced to answer embarrassing questions. She flip-flopped on air flights from Ebola countries. <\/p>\n

Her family got stimulus money, used it personally. That story has come out in the last couple weeks. So she just doesn\u2019t show up. It was an empty chair. She tweeted her answers the next day. I mean, you may have had some of these underwear clad blog posters in their basements in the Democrat Party thinking it\u2019s cool and hip. But I\u2019m telling you, the majority of the country doesn\u2019t think, “Wow, Kay Hagan, that\u2019s really smart. That\u2019s really clever, to not go to your debate and then tweet the answers later?” Yeah, that\u2019s what we want in our leaders, yeah, right. That\u2019s not the attitude people have about it. <\/p>\n

She\u2019s an embarrassment. Franken\u2019s an embarrassment. A lot of them are. They\u2019re just never characterized that way by the Drive-By Media. Look, I\u2019m repeating myself here. But you get my main drift here. I\u2019m really starting to be curious about the degree, the amount of voter fraud taking place out there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
