RUSH: Lets go to the election in Montana, because this last night, I didnt see this on TV. Im following the results, and Im checking various things. And I see that Nate Silver sent a tweet out that said that if Gianforte, if the Republicans dont win Montana by at least eight points, then its good news for the Democrats. So the Democrats losing by four points, five points, six points, seven point, great, great news; the Democrats need to celebrate it. Its great news.
The Democrats have yet to win a special election this year. They thought that they were gonna win every one of them, and they thought that every potential Democrat victory would signal the country had turned against Donald Trump. Then when the elections happened and we went through the formula yesterday I explained how this all works every election, and then when the elections over and the Democrats lose, they follow up by saying its actually good news because the Republicans didnt win as big as they should have.
But, meanwhile, the Democrats keep losing elections. Now theyre saying that about this election. Theyre saying, Well, this really wasnt that important. For crying out loud, its Montana, some people in the media are saying. Theyre saying, What really matters now is Georgia, which happens to be the next one on June 20th. I encountered this story, ladies and gentlemen, shortly after reading Nate Silver saying that if the Republicans didnt win by eight or more, its actually good news for the Democrats.

RUSH: So we move from the story about weak men, physically weak men more likely to be socialists to now the aftermath of the election in Montana yesterday where the manly and studly Greg Gianforte trounced the herpes country singer there, a guy named Quist. What are you putting your face in your hands for? Im not making anything up. The guy performs at nudist colonies out there.
So from CNN: What Greg Gianfortes Win in Montana Taught Washington. Suddenly after the Democrats lose big, guess what? All politics is local. Its classic. I went through the formula yesterday. They have yet to win one of these special elections. The Democrats have not won one of them all year.
Before each one, they set it up as a referendum on Trump. The nation is ready to turn. The nation is dissatisfied. The nations feeling guilty and a great sense of remorse over having voted for such a bumbling fool and pig and idiot, Donald Trump. And these people cannot wait to express their sorrow and their regret.
They cannot wait. These voters in these special elections cannot wait to apologize to America for what theyve done. And the way they will do that is vote Democrat. Then the election happens. Hollywood and Silicon Valley throw in gazillions of dollars to these Democrat candidates in the special elections, then they have the election, and its not even close. The Democrat loses. In the immediate aftermath of that, the media says, Well, it really wasnt that important. Theres not that much to see here. These elections are really more local than they are of any national impact. They do it every time, every damn one.
Now theyre looking at the Georgia runoff on June 20th, and it will be the same formula. (Unintelligible) they lose big, all politics is local, has nothing to do with national issues, according to CNN. All you need is one pull quote from the story. At the end of the day it might be the case that trying to fit Montana into a national political box is a stretch. Now, contrast that with everything CNN has been doing about this election.
They tried to link Gianforte, as did the rest of the media, to Trump. They tried to link this guy to Trump in every which way: a bully, a pig, hes unfit, hes unsavory, all of these things. They portrayed this election as its a big, big red state, went big for Trump, but the voters there are so embarrassed. They cant wait to show how sorry they are for having elected Trump or voted for Trump. They spent all day telling everybody how meaningful the election is, and then when they lose, well, you know, at the end of the day it might be the case trying to fit Montana into a national political box is a stretch.
From the Associated Press. Laughable. Was Montanas Wild House Race a Trump Test? Not So Much. This is hilarious. Everybody, including the AP, claimed that it was a referendum on Trump, as they always do in these elections. That is, until the Republican wins. As we pointed out yesterday, in typical fashion. The polls lied, by the way. The polls had Gianforte up by just a couple, and in some polls they had the Democrat up, remember? The Democrat was way up, and then Gianforte came along and body slammed a pencil neck geek reporter. And there was mass outrage all over the media.
And the media assumed I should say presumed the media presumed that that was the end of Gianforte, that the voters, they simply would not tolerate a reporter being treated that way. No way, Jose. It wasnt gonna happen. The voters are not gonna tolerate it and theyre gonna show Gianforte what they think. And this guy Quist was gonna come along and run away with it. Of course it didnt happen.
And then all day yesterday we get calls from Montana from people who said they had no problem with it, that if they could, they would go bankrupt donating to Gianforte. We didnt have one caller yesterday who was upset. And then we have the early voting aspect of this. Now, let me ask you a question. In this election, 70% of the people that voted did so before yesterday. That means that 70% of the people who voted, voted before the studly and manly Gianforte treated the reporter like a dishrag. And so the media is lamenting that.
The media is trying to salve themselves by saying, had this election been totally on election day, theres no question that Gianforte would have been sent packing. And theyre doing stories about how so many people were asking if they could change their vote. This is so bad. What they didnt probably understand is that many of the people wanting to change their vote had voted for the Democrat and wanted to now vote for Gianforte after the event yesterday, but the media will not consider that.
Let me ask you this. Will they change their attitudes on early voting now? The media and the Democrats believe that had there not been early voting, the Democrats would have won this race. So will they rethink their position on early voting and say, You know what? We need to eliminate early voting. Ill tell you why they ought to seriously think about it. The Democrats, do they not routinely strategize with things like October Surprises? They routinely plant bombshells out there, like the Trump NBC tape. And they plan these things to happen within the last, say, week or two weeks before the election, sometimes at the outside, three weeks. But if people have already voted by then, then the October Surprise is going to have much, much less impact.
And if the October Surprise is a massively important part of your campaign, whats the point of doing it if a majority of people have already voted and will not be affected by it? So the alternative is to get rid of early voting if youre gonna really pin your hopes on October type surprises or you execute the October Surprise earlier, before the early voting begins. What do you think theyll do? I had a couple people last night tell me that they thought the Democrats would now get rid of early voting since it shafted them here.
And I said, You are crazy. They are never going to abandon early voting. No way. It isnt gonna happen. If anything, theyre gonna expand it. This election notwithstanding. They said, Why? What do you think early voting is for? Early voting is the greatest opportunity for fraud, phony registrations, massive registrations, massive bus trips to the place that you early vote. Its a godsend. Its a golden opportunity to cheat! And it allows you, as the mastermind of early voting, to generate the kind of votes that you want.
Who wants to wait til Election Day and take a chance? I mean, the left in this country doesnt trust voters already. They dont trust democracy. The left gets screwed too much by democracy. Democracy meaning people having freedom. So they dont want that. They want to limit freedom. They want to limit peoples choices or they want to rig all of that to the greatest degree they can. And early voting, in their minds, affords them the greatest opportunity.
And I dont think theyre ever gonna back off of that or walk it back despite this election in Montana. Cause what theyre telling themselves is, Well, this really doesnt matter. You know its just one seat, and wheres Montana anyway? Weve never been hurt by whoever represents Montana. Weve never even known who represents Montana. Screw Montana. Thats what theyre saying. Why should we change everything were doing because of Montana? Montana, who even goes there besides Ted Turner. Why should we care? Thats what were gonna come back to. Oh, yeah, Ted Turner has a bunch of buffalo ranches up there. Ted Turner owns half of Montana. I dont know if its that much, but quite a bit.
Now, all last night since I dont watch TV, since I wasnt watching TV, I had no idea if anybody in the Drive-Bys or the Democrat Party was angry with me for the way we were conducting things yesterday regarding the event in the Montana election. I had no idea. Because I didnt watch TV and in all of the show prep, I didnt find one reference. So I thought, you know, the Drive-Bys, they have totally forgot, theyre so focused on destroying Trump, theyre so focused on assassinating Trump that the things they used to focus on are second- and third-rate importance now. How wrong I was. Mr. Snerdley brought me a Stack of things (laughing) and theyre deliciously hilarious.

USH: The Huffing and Puffington Post: Rush Limbaugh Cant Stop Gushing Over Manly And Studly Greg Gianforte The talk-show host did condemn the attack. See, they had to, cause I did. This was a brilliantly created and flawlessly executed segment yesterday, folks, just so you know. As the Huffing and Puffington Post says here, I did condemn even though they put that in quotes condemn the attack, although not without laughing about it at the same time.
They quote me, This cannot be accepted. This must be condemned. I wonder how many people in Montana are now going to vote for the guy, though? Covered my bases. Whats this next one? This next one is Slate.com: Today in Conservative Media: Yeah, Gianforte Assaulted a Reporter, but Rob Quist Has Herpes. That is a reference to this program. (laughing)
And then one in the LA Times: Some Conservatives Justify Manly Montana Candidates Alleged Body-Slam of Snowflake Reporter Popular radio host Rush Limbaugh took a similar route. I must join the chorus of people condemning what happened out there, Limbaugh said on his show. This manly, obviously studly Republican candidate in Montana took the occasion to beat up a pajama-clad journalist, a Pajama Boy journalist out there.'
Totally unacceptable. So it was reverberating throughout certain places in the online media.

What these quislings fail to realize is, is that society isn't broken up into just snowflakes and macho conservatives.
Snowflakes will identify and side with snowflakes.
What they fail to realize, is that most people are just regular Joes. They want to go about their own lives.
They want to follow and vote for decent and respectable people.
They mock Gianforte for being "manly" and "studly", simply because THEY are not.
THEY ARE the snowflakes.
What they fail to understand is people don't respect snowflakes.
A person doesn't HAVE to be macho or hard. They just don't have to be a pussy.
The more the media mocks Gianforte for being "manly", the more attractive he becomes to ordinary folks.
Also, the more "manly" they describe Gianforte, the more others, like themselves, appear to be unadmirable pussies.
Whether people are full blown, self reliant, take no prisoner hard asses, or not. They want to view themselves as having fortitude and aptitude. Not JUST attitude.
The media flaunts their attitude.
And mocks Gianfortes fortitude and aptitude.
The very thing most people identify with.
Thus. the media mocks what most people identify with and respect.
I'm frankly surprised that Perez hasn't couched the Hillary loss as a "victory". Not sure how they'd do it, but the Democrats make a loss sound like a victory.
As opposed to the Republicans, who seem to make a victory look like a loss.
Ellison is vomit-provoking.
It’s not that Perez is any better, i’m just trying to make suggestions that will help the dimwits back out of the political wilderness!!//////////////
Democrats shouldn’t breed
Democrats shouldn’t breed
Not only is this true. It is factual
correct
“....Thus. the media mocks what most people identify with and respect....”
Maybe every Pubbie candidate should seek out to find a snowflake reporter that they can just body-slam the heck out of on live on TV till they can’t stand up anymore. The People seem to relate to it as they love seeing those low-life POSs that mock them and their values get their just rewards.
They went down down down, in a burnin’ ring of near wins,
They were always close, but they paid for their sins
with a loss despite
the tales of Russia,
and guys who push ya.
Let’s give the Dhimmicraps a whole bunch more moral victories.
maybe if they lose enough times they can eventually win based on volume?
Given their mindset I’m sure the media thought this last minute hit might turn the election in their, uh, I mean, the Dems favor, but shoving this snowflake aside made me like the guy better.
“Hillary almost won—and she looked so beautiful doing it”
MSM
:-)
>> they should be landslides...
Agree. But I’ll take the win any day. Olympic gold medals are often won by hundredths of a second or fractions of an inch. They are still gold.
Quist got only 44.1%, even with the scandal giving him late help
2014 Rat/Stalinist Senate Nominee Amanda Curtis got 40.1%.
