RUSH: You know this question, “How many votes would Trump have lost if people had known about the payments to these women?” They already knew about the Access Hollywood video. So, arguably, it wouldn’t have mattered. How many votes would Hillary Clinton have lost if it had been known that she paid for the Trump dossier? How many votes would Hillary Clinton have lost if it had been known that the entire Russian collusion story was a hoax that was perpetrated by an FBI and a DOJ which had implanted spies in the Trump campaign?
How many votes do you think Trump might have won by if the things that we know today had been revealed during the campaign? Hillary Clinton paying for (and writing, essentially) the Steele dossier. All of these hijinks. People at the FBI trying to set Trump up, six different spies embedded in the Trump campaign. How many votes do you think Hillary Clinton would have lost if James Comey had not illegally exonerated her on July 5th for having not created a crime, not a prosecutable crime in the email server scandal?
For cryin’ out loud! And all Lockhart can do… “How many votes would Trump have lost if it had known he would pay off these women?” When did he pay off these women? A lot of these payments… You know, Trump was not a candidate in 2014. In August of 2014, Trump probably wasn’t even thinking about running back then. But even if he was thinking about it, he was not running when these the campaigns were made. These payments could not have been campaign violations, finance violations, because some of them were paid in 2014.
You’re not having that be reminded. The memorandum from the Southern District of New York, the prosecutor’s memorandum, says, “In August 2014, Chairman [Pecker]…” This is the payment made to McDougal by the National Enquirer. “In August 2014, Chairman [Pecker] had met with Cohen and Individual-1,” that’s Trump, “and had offered to help deal with negative stories about Individual-1’s relationships with women by identifying such stories so that they could be purchased and ‘killed.’” Okay. Fine.
That’s a big difference, because Trump was not a candidate in August of 2014. So whatever deal Trump made with Pecker (or Pecker decided to engage in on his own) or the National Enquirer there could not be campaign violations because this woman was paid off in 2014. That story was bought and buried in 2014. Trump was not a candidate, had not filed papers. Even if he had, we’re not dealing with criminal actions here! Over and over again. But none of that matters because it’s the impression they can create in as many minds as possible.
That’s what we’re up against here.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: There’s a story. This is NBC News. I’ll give you an example here of the onslaught. “Trump Was in the Room During Hush Money Discussions with Tabloid Publisher.” So what! Has anybody ever stopped to compare what the hell was going on with the Clinton Foundation at the very same time with all of that illegal pay-to-play money coming in, an investigation of which has been swept under the rug and totally ignored, but it should not be.
It can continue to be a with reference to point with which to arm and inform the American people like Lockhart. “How many votes would Trump have lost if people had found out about paying off the pole dancer?” How many votes would Hillary Clinton have lost if everybody knew what the hell she had been doing, and if Comey had not illegally assumed the role of attorney general and announced that she wasn’t gonna be prosecuted, after listing her crimes!
He lists her crimes and then says, “No reasonable prosecutor would ever pursue this.” Message to the American people: “This is chump change! It’s not worth anybody’s time. She didn’t really do anything that she intended to. She’s as clean and pure as the wind-driven snow. Mrs. Clinton didn’t mean to do any of this, and because we can’t find any intent, therefore, there’s no reasonable prosecutor that would bring charges.” Intent is not a factor in breaking the kind of law that Hillary Clinton broke!
I’m just telling you that every analogy they can make, we’ve got a better one and a more powerful one.
None.
Because the kind of people who voted for Hillary don’t give a damn.
Likewise, if they knew back then what they know about Bll and barry today.
Probably wouldn’t matter because we have witnessed who is the vote harvesting and who can overthrow legitimate elections.
Probably a lot if the media had been honest i.e. hard hitting headlines and articles every day...breaking news about her criminal activities...you know...the Trump treatment except in her case it would have been the truth.
The media has a ton of power over those who don’t pay a lot of attention.
I genuinely do not believe more than 35% of Americans voted for her.
I can understand that there are a third of us treasonous, I believe about the same number fought for the Redcoats.
Every surplus vote she claimed was fraudulently won
DITTO
If they found out about her underhanded maneuvers her voters would have cheered her on.
Knowing what I know now, Candidate Trump wouldn’t have lost my vote.
Nothing the other side has done in attacking Trump seems even remotely fair or based in logic and law. It’s an emotion-driven daily assault and that should serve to further solidify normal American’s support for our president.
The coup must fail, else the country will.

“...If We Knew What the Hell She Was Doing?”
When I first read that, I thought it said: “If We Knew What the Hell WE WERE Doing?”
Trump lost MILLIONS of votes due to REPUBLICANS either actively plotting against him, or saying stuff like “Vote Your Conscience” - rather than unifying around our nominee.
In fact, with those votes, the drama of the Midwest wouldn’t have happened, and the credibility of Hillary blaming everyone and everything under the sun for her loss, including the Russians, would have laughed off, even by the media.
Elections aren’t something you play games with - even if you get your feelings hurt, this stuff is deadly serious, and if the Democrats do achieve total control of government, the word “deadly” will very likely be very accurate, regarding how they treat us - given their behavior in just about every other country where these types of people have achieved absolute power.
Either we FIGHT to the death against these people BEFORE they send us to our deaths, or we lose. The ‘middle ground’ is gone - sorry Romney and Kasich, IT IS GONE.
I don’t think Trump knew about ratboy Cohen paying those women. Why? Because he didn’t care about it. #1. He’s been very open in the past about his sex life. He’s appeared on Howard Stern many times talking about it. #2. Melania said in the past that they have an open marriage, I remember her saying it quite clearly on TV years ago “I am his wife and in exchange I live like this”. Many rich older men have that situation and #3. What’s the worst that would happen if these women came out and said they had sex with him? Nobody cares especially since we’re talking 12 years ago. We’re not talking about sexual assault here, were talking about one night stands, consensual sex. “I had sex with Trump” Yeah what else is new? The guy has had sex with tons of women, he’s said so on Stern. So I think it’s utter BS Trump ordered Cohen to pay them. Cohen is a freakin’ liar who is being controlled like a puppet told what to say and do by Mueller
Not too many, since all her followers are brain-dead zombies.
" Mr. Schiff, we have it from reliable sources that you used the congressional slush fund to silence complaints against you that were made by a young male staff intern. Do you have any comments?"
If the accusations against them were relentless I think one of them would try to expose the slush fund records to prove they aren't on it.
Tired of reading about this stuff ad nauseam. Someone indict her!
Exactly.
Similarly, you should point out that Trump voters wouldn't change their minds if they knew about the payoff.
Somewhere along 2012...I came to this realization that the media is built and devised along political lines...and it requires a fairly ‘lame’ citizen to be on the end and receiving the ‘lecture’ by various media devices (news print, social media, cable news, three-letter networks, etc).
The problem is...along the 2000 to 2016 era, something ‘clicked’ and roughly half the general public have questions which can’t be answered by the system created. I don’t think it’s strictly a US issue...you can find the same path going on in France (Yellow Jackets and Macron) and the UK (BREXII).
This general trust that had been going on with this system...built for a particular type of citizen...won’t work any more.
How many seconds of your life will you lose by reading ANYTHING about Hillary?
Yep. I heard that about A damn Schitt as well, he paid off a MALE, 19 years old, a TEEN, and Schitt has the gall to go after Trump? I hope Trump brings that up
