Establishment Rides the Trump Roller Coaster

RUSH: It is October 1st, and all week long the Drive-By Media and the inside-the-Beltway establishment have been on this roller coaster regarding Trump. Maybe even a little bit into last week. But before that, it is October 1st. A lot of them thought he was gonna be gone by now. And many of them -- and I'm including Republicans in this. Republican media types, conservative media types, elected officials, the entire Inside Washington establishment. And you know why they thought Trump would be gone?

They thought everything he's doing would finally come home to roost. He would wear out his welcome. People would get tired of the entertainment, get tired of the show, and would realize that he's not serious and the American people want sincerity and seriousness in their presidents and they would realize that Trump is not it and they would throw him. Or that Trump would've lost interest by now and have moved on to something else. And earlier this week I was watching Fox, and some of the conservative intelligentsia were venturing forth to say, "He has peaked, it looks like."

"It looks like he's peaked. We can't say for sure, but," then they winked and nodded, "We've all known it was going to happen. We're the smartest people!" But today, just the exact opposite. We have here from USA Today a poll: "Donald Trump Still on Top as Fiorina and Carson Rise." "Donald Trump has strengthened his lead at the top of the USA Today/Suffolk University Poll while two other outsider candidates, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, have gained ground over rivals with electoral experience. Jeb Bush ... has tumbled to single digits and fifth place."

Now, given that later in the article this story says, "Some political analysts, including those in the latest USA Today GOP Power Rankings, see Trump as beginning to lose ground while scrutiny on him as a potential president intensifies." So in the same story... This exactly my point: In the same story, the lede is: "Trump has strengthened his lead in our poll," and then later on in their same story, "Some political analysts ... see Trump as beginning to lose ground while scrutiny on him as a potential president intensifies." How do you have it both ways in the same story?

How in the world do you publish a story talking about how he is strengthening, and at the end of the day story quote "experts" who say he is beginning to lose ground? "'Unfortunately, I'm leaning toward Trump, only because he's a non-political figure,' said Ginger Mangam, 58, a customer service representative from Little Rock who was among those surveyed." Unfortunately? Here's a woman in the survey admitting she's leaning to Trump and she's really not crazy about it. What does that tell you?

That comment, if people want to attach any seriousness to this -- any political professionals -- this is devastating. People are voting for Trump or siding with Trump even though they're not really excited about it because they so detest what has become of insider politics. But even at that I have to point out as well that USA Today is part of the Drive-By Media, and it's funny to watch them go out and find a Trump supporter who actually doesn't like him. This is also part of the plan. See, I see this as a positive. If you're a Trumpster, you could see this as a positive.

USA Today is trying to make like Trump supporters don't even really like him. I mean, why quote this woman, of all the women they surveyed, all the people they surveyed? Trump's leading in the survey. Why quote a woman that doesn't even like him but is gonna vote for him? That's how the Drive-Bys try to shape things and create attitudes among the readers. Now, I, as I say, take it as a positive. I mean, she doesn't like even the guy, not crazy about him, and is still leaning towards him? That is not good news for the establishment in any way, shape, manner, or form.

Now, even in this article, though, in this poll where Trump is increasing his lead, we have to hear this line which is based on one single poll of 200 Republicans with a margin of error of 6.5%. "Some political analysts, including those in the latest USA Today GOP Power Rankings, see Trump as beginning to lose ground while scrutiny on him as a potential president intensifies." So that's my point. Even in an article about Trump increasing his lead, they have to put their qualifier in there, and they put it in for a whole host of reasons.

A, maintain their good credit rating among other Drive-Bys. And also to do what they can to damage the reputation that Trump is building. But the whole establishment is still bamboozled by this. And just earlier this week, they thought -- they thought -- they saw evidence that Trump was beginning to not just have peaked, but was beginning to fall. And now Trump is back out on fire. Let's go to the audio sound bites. This is last night, Keene, New Hampshire, Trump at a town hall campaign-type event had this to say about Syria.

TRUMP: I'm putting the people on notice that are coming here from Syria as part of this mass migration that if I win -- if I win -- they're going back. They're going back!

RUSH: "They're going back." There was massive applause after this. Just like the illegal immigrants from Central America are going back, so are these Syrian refugees going back. Here's more...

I think the Establishment really overplayed their hand trying to get another Bush in. If not for that, it might not have been as obvious to average Americans what an insider game our political system really is.

Since The Conservative Tree House has shined light on how desperate the GOPe has become, so desperate that they’ve ordered Republican Party officials in some states to change the party rules concerning how primaries are conducted. All this - changing the rules in the middle of the race! - is being done to prevent Donald Trump from becoming the GOP’s elected candidate.

They’re desperate to keep the NWO’s Cartel money.

Just so everyone knows, it won’t matter who - Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush - the CFR will win.

For those who still don’t get it: Trump’s entrance into this 2016 political race has upset all the NWO’s plans.

For those who still don’t get it: Trump’s entrance into this 2016 political race has upset all the NWO’s plans.

Trump is the little kid who shouts out that the Emperor has no clothes. He said what everyone was thinking but was afraid to say about the career politicians and Rinos
