I've Never Seen Anything Like This
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | October 24, 2016 | Rush Limbaugh

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I have never in my life, and I really have struggled to remember, I wasn't old enough in 1964 to be aware of such things. I knew who Goldwater was. I even went to a Goldwater whistle-stop. My dad put us in the car, took us over to Southern Illinois where Goldwater was going through. I knew it was a landslide. I didn't know why. I didn't know anything about the conservative movement, knew nothing of any of that. But that aside, I have never in the rest of my life from 1964 forward, I don't think I have ever seen anything like we are witnessing today where our side has already conceded defeat.

Our side has given up. Our side has concluded that we are going to lose and in a massive landslide, and they are already making plans for recriminations after the election. A bunch of people you never heard of are preparing to sort out the blame and responsibility for those who made this all possible. And I'll give you three guesses who they are zeroing in on. That's right, my friends, your beloved host is to blame for all of this. Your beloved host is to blame for the other conservative hosts doing what they're doing.

I'm to blame for Trump being a candidate. I am to blame for it all, and they're all lining up getting prepared to exonerate themselves, of course. I'm talking about Republicans; I'm talking about conservatives, people that are quasi-conservatives. Think tank people you've never heard of are lining up now, already conceding that it's over, conceding that it's a landslide. They are conceding we've lost the House. They're conceding they've lost the Senate.

It's almost like they want that to happen. I've never seen anything like this before. But we're in the midst of it, and for all that that is worth and while that's all going on, there's a whole lot of people that have not given up, mainly you. There are a whole lot of people not willing to concede any of this yet because there's too much that doesn't make any sense, as we will explore in great detail on the program today.

The WikiLeaks document dump has produced an email from Podesta with go-to instructions on how to create polls that show an overwhelming Democrat majority for the express purpose of dispiriting and depressing Republican opposition.

Now, just to be clear, I have no idea what's going on. I have no idea who's gonna win. I don't have the slightest bit of inside information, and I don't feel confident giving you a straight up and down opinion on this. There's too much we don't know. There are too many things that we have learned that make me question all kinds of conventional wisdom. But I'll be the first to tell you I haven't the slightest idea what's gonna happen.

I'm like you, I watch everything that's going on. Some of it makes sense and some of it doesn't. And, like you, I have questions about things that you question. The fact that so many others do not have any doubt whatsoever, don't have any questions whatsoever, it's over, Trump is gonna lose in a landslide like which we have never seen, maybe Goldwater proportions, and we've got evidence here that that may not be the case and that evidence is being ignored and discounted by some, and it's being desperately clinged to by others. If you look at the behavior of the candidates, it doesn't make any sense.

Trump's out there everywhere he can go drawing massive crowds. Hillary's hibernating. Kaine and Obama and a bunch of others are sitting in for Hillary. She's nowhere to be seen. The others, her surrogates, are out there and even her surrogates are not drawing crowds. There's not a whole lot of excitement.

And Obama, when he shows up to do a campaign he can't stop talking about conservative media. He can't stop talking about it. Here's a guy who has mastered and succeeded with practically every agenda item that he had to one degree or another, and he's not even happy. He's still bent out of shape that I'm here. He's still bent out of shape that there's a Fox News. He's still bent out of shape that there's a conservative media.

I went to my first candidate rally with my parents, it was for Goldwater.

I wrote a letter to him, saying that when he became president, he should kick all the commies out of the country.

I got a letter back from him and it wasn’t a canned response.

How does this election differ, from that one all those years ago?

Someone needs to tell Rush that Fox News has gone left of center

Maybe he should start using both hands?

“I remember the LBJ commercial. They say it only ran once but the media played it again and again. They said it was “news”. The Rats and the media have been colluding for decades if not centuries.”
==
Odd thing is that there was no way LBJ was going to lose that election after JFK was killed, so over-the-top ads weren’t needed.

But, yeah - “the more things change”. I expect that even if it were Kasich running, he’d be portrayed by the Dem-Media Complex as a crazy man who wanted to start WW3. And a woman-abusing racist, too, of course.

If Kasich were the nominee the parade of women would have been prolific.

It would be nice if any of the women the Dems pay to come up with their BS were at least worth looking at.
:D

That's great news, and I absolutely do NOT see that kind of enthusiasm breaking in the enemy's favor !

And have no doubt that they ARE the enemy.
Destroying our Constitution is their aim, and we're the only force standing in their way.

It's hard to imagine that the national polarization was much greater in 1860 than it is today.

If striking such a bargain were possible, I would gladly forfeit what's left of my life in exchange for a Trump victory and the preservation of America's Constitutional liberties.

With Kasich they would be legit. They say he was quite the stud in his early days with his “friend” Gary Condit.

The best admonition came from Barry Goldwater in 1960, when he told conservatives “let’s grow up and get to work”!!

It still holds today.

One more observation from my polling experience- I remember a much larger number of male voters in line. I will swing by later and try to assess that.

We MUST stand. There is no recourse. Any more Democrats
and our goose is cooked. We cannot allow the RABID MEDIA
to do a number on us. It is the Number 2. We all know that
is S#it! They, along with the GOPe are absolutely gone
loco!

FANG & I will walk barefoot over rough gravel, over the
river & thru the woods, to the polls on election day
where we will vote:

DONALD J. TRUMP POTUS
MIKE PENCE VPOTUS

Our faces are set like flint; and praying God help us!
NO MORE DAM* CLINTONS!!!!!

“There’s more - but you Freepers have access to the net also - it continues to amaze me how reluctant Freepers seem to be to do an independent research “

I am posting the truth all over Facebook everywhere I can. I am also being monitored, and my posts are often delayed. Hell, they might just be looking to ban me, but I’m getting the truth out as best I can, 2 hours a day. No shortage of FACTS to share.

I feel the same way. Many in the GOPE have thrown in the towel. Some people have been discouraged by the MSM, but there are those in the Establishment who act like they want Clinton to win. It’s appalling. A third Obama term might be more than the nation can recover from, yet they would rather be proven right than save the country. It leaves me reeling.

For starters, I will never listen to Glenn Beck again.
