I heard this Rush segment today, and thought he was right on the money.
Those with any brains remember the dynamic that was set up in Ronald Reagan’s first term. The MSM-Democrats threw everything they had at “Reaganomics,” insulted it in every way they knew how.
They also insulted Reagan the same way they’re insulting Trump today. Called him stupid, a dunce (the Speaker of the House of Representatives actually called him that on television), an actor, an idiot, a man who was so dumb he couldn’t talk without cue cards, etc.
That was for the first year or so. Then, the economy began to heat up. Slowly at first, then faster and faster. Anyone who was in the work force could feel it. Job opportunities started to open up. You heard about your friends getting new jobs for more money. Then one day you tried it, and found out you could get more money too!
By the time the 1984 election came around, the economy was humpin’ and pumpin’. Walter Mondale was so stupid, he went around telling everyone he was going to raise their taxes. On election night, he got turned into a skid mark. Reagan was laughing.
From the sound of it, Limbaugh finally abandoned the Bush camp today.
