RUSH: Let’s go to the election in Montana, because this last night, I didn’t see this on TV. I’m following the results, and I’m checking various things. And I see that Nate Silver sent a tweet out that said that if Gianforte, if the Republicans don’t win Montana by at least eight points, then it’s 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. It’s 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 election’s over and the Democrats lose, they follow up by saying it’s actually good news because the Republicans didn’t win as big as they should have.
But, meanwhile, the Democrats keep losing elections. Now they’re saying that about this election. They’re saying, “Well, this really wasn’t that important. For crying out loud, it’s Montana,” some people in the media are saying. They’re 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 didn’t win by eight or more, it’s 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? I’m not making anything up. The guy performs at nudist colonies out there.
So from CNN: “What Greg Gianforte’s Win in Montana Taught Washington.” Suddenly after the Democrats lose big, guess what? All politics is local. It’s 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 nation’s 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 they’ve 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 it’s not even close. The Democrat loses. In the immediate aftermath of that, the media says, “Well, it really wasn’t that important. There’s 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 they’re 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, he’s unfit, he’s unsavory, all of these things. They portrayed this election as it’s a big, big red state, went big for Trump, but the voters there are so embarrassed. They can’t 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 Montana’s 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 wasn’t gonna happen. The voters are not gonna tolerate it and they’re gonna show Gianforte what they think. And this guy Quist was gonna come along and run away with it. Of course it didn’t 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 didn’t 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, there’s no question that Gianforte would have been sent packing. And they’re doing stories about how so many people were asking if they could change their vote. This is so bad. What they didn’t 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.” I’ll 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, what’s 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 you’re 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 they’ll 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 isn’t gonna happen. If anything, they’re 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. It’s a godsend. It’s 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 doesn’t trust voters already. They don’t trust democracy. The left gets screwed too much by democracy. Democracy meaning people having freedom. So they don’t want that. They want to limit freedom. They want to limit people’s 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 don’t think they’re ever gonna back off of that or walk it back despite this election in Montana. ‘Cause what they’re telling themselves is, “Well, this really doesn’t matter. You know it’s just one seat, and where’s Montana anyway? We’ve never been hurt by whoever represents Montana. We’ve never even known who represents Montana. Screw Montana.” That’s what they’re saying. “Why should we change everything we’re doing because of Montana? Montana, who even goes there besides Ted Turner. Why should we care?” That’s what we’re gonna come back to. Oh, yeah, Ted Turner has a bunch of buffalo ranches up there. Ted Turner owns half of Montana. I don’t know if it’s that much, but quite a bit.
Now, all last night since I don’t watch TV, since I wasn’t 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 didn’t watch TV and in all of the show prep, I didn’t find one reference. So I thought, you know, the Drive-Bys, they have totally forgot, they’re so focused on destroying Trump, they’re 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 they’re deliciously hilarious.

USH: The Huffing and Puffington Post: “Rush Limbaugh Can’t 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. What’s 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 Candidate’s 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.
When HuffPo, LA Times and Slate, attack or mock Rush, that just fuels the fire AGAINST themselves.
Rush is the best - always has been - always will be...
LOL...That's actually true....they should be landslides...
“And then one in the LA Times: “Some Conservatives Justify ‘Manly’ Montana Candidate’s Alleged Body-Slam of ‘Snowflake’ Reporter “
I know I do. I just secretly wish that the little British Pr!ck had really been injured. A broken a$$ is to be preferred over broken glasses. These people think that somehow the Constitution gives them the “right” not to be civil.
Ah, yes, the great national uprising against Trump that . . . isn’t.

Ok, this might be a delusion I can live with. Maybe they can stop campaigning and we tell them, “it is Ok, you won”, and go on.
On a more serious note, considering General Massoud was assassinated by a fake journalist with a gun in camera, maybe we should have a no fly/no interview list for journalists, just like they like to boycott Hannity.
Antifa is climbing in the ranks of an increasingly radical rabid press.
I read that Greg Gianforte lives on Manley Road
Fitting
Keep winning Rats!
If you’re the Lying Left, you lie. That’s what you do.
The buzz is DNC head Ton Perez is considering body-slamming reporters as an up-and-coming political strategy for Democrat candidates.
“Democrats need a win and this works,” Perez can tell Schumer.
Dumbos just lost in Omaha---the race that got caught in the abortion debate.
Dimmies sure picked a DNC winner in loud-mouthed Perez. Guy cant win an election to save his soul.
Perez declared abortion-on-demand is Democrats' ticket to victory. So if that's not working....I guess Perez is looking at infanticide....perhaps mercy killing of the disabled.
============================================
In Kansas couple weeks ago, Repub Estes won by a commanding eight points; then Dumbo Ossoff in GA failed to prevent a runoff...even after every prog/Dumbo and his second cousin from East Overshoe, USA, gave Ossoff some 10 million dollars.
Earlier Democrats lost again b/c they failed to flip Zero Seats in Four Blue State Special Elections. Those total Democrat humiliations by the Russians occurred right after DNC genius Tom Perez bragged Democrats would show that that "resistance to Trump" could be translated into electoral victories.
To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states the Russians threw to Hillary in the 2016 presidential election.
Go figure.
I guess that means someone owes Atlanta some Super Bowl rings since the Patriots won by less than a TD...
Then they must be thrilled that Hillary lost so many times - Go Democrats! Keep up this “winning”.
Ping! for later reading.
Hat the singing Rat won by just one point, the Weekend would be end to end coverage describing the coming implosion of the Trump Administration and the loss of his Base of support.
Don’t doubt me. I know you don’t, but I like to say it. #;^)
That Nate Silver is one handsome fella.
Hat = Had, LOL.
Dimmies sure picked a DNC winner in loud-mouthed Perez. Guy cant win an election to save his soul.

The good news is they can always go back to the well and pick Keith Ellison to replace Perez........talk about getting what you got coming!!!!
