RUSH: This is classic, too. You know these two guys, Heilemann and Mark Halperin, that we talk about a lot here? They've got this Internet show at Bloomberg, and they're classic. Halperin may be a little bit more informed about us than your average Drive-By Media person, but it doesn't do him much good. These are the two guys that write campaign books. They learn all the stuff that would kill a Democrat candidate, and they hold it for after the election for their book, it's those two guys. Halperin used to be at ABC, political director, whatever.
Anyway, they were blown away, they could not believe it, they were stunned, they were shocked that Ted Cruz was able to raise $31 million bucks in a week. They were just blown away. They think Ted Cruz is from Mars. They don't think Ted Cruz could raise $10 bucks in a month. They have bought into this notion he's nothing more than Sarah Palin, the male version. They really do believe this cockamamie crap about conservatives and Republicans. They're the most cocooned people.
Ted Cruz is out there for anybody and anybody, just like we are here, to learn about. You don't have to have a secret code, a PIN number, or a password to learn about Ted Cruz. Likewise, you don't need one to listen to this program. Anyway, Cruz raises $31 million, and they can't believe it. And then Heilemann happened to run into him and can't believe, couldn't believe how nice he is. These are the people that tell us they're the educated, they're the open-minded, they're the tolerant, they're the understanding. They live in such a closed-off world, it's stunning.
Anyway, Ted Cruz raising $31 million, that's a game-changer. Now, all of a sudden in their world Ted Cruz is somebody to be reckoned with. Ted Cruz is somebody to all of a sudden take seriously, $31 million in a week. "How in the hell, who are these people? Where does he get that kind of money?" Totally in a state of disbelief. In the meantime, Mrs. Clinton, who hasn't even announced her campaign, is imploding. There's this guy at The Politico named Glenn Thrush, and he's written a piece. In fact, there are two of them. Well, it's actually his and one plays off of his.
Here's the headline reporting Glenn Thrush's tweet on Drudge and The Daily Caller. Well, the tweet is, "Hillary's collapsing completely, shouldn't even bother to enter the race." He's got an article in The Politico about this. "Hillary is collapsing completely, shouldn't even bother to enter the race." Now, if you go to the Drudge webpage and The Daily Caller, here are the headlines. The Drudge headline is: "Campaign Collapsing Completely. Liberal Politico Reporter: Clinton Campaign Collapsing Completely."
But that's not what Thrush said. He may have meant that, but Thrush's tweet is: Hillary, apostrophe S, Hillary's, i.e., Hillary is, collapsing completely, shouldn't even bother to enter the race. Which, from the outside, that appears to be true. Rand Paul is skunking her in Iowa, and that is big news today. Well, it's big news to the Drive-Bys. It's big news to the Drive-Bys that anybody's beating Hillary anywhere. I'm not kidding. They really live in this walled-off fortress where whatever they write, whatever they broadcast, whatever they say must be the truth. And what they think and say about Hillary is fait accompli. Nomination already wrapped up, election, mere formality. If anything comes along that makes that look untrue, they are unable to process it.
Rand Paul is just -- well, all of these guys. Scott Walker. I don't know if he took my advice or not, but he's hammering Hillary now. That is one of the biggest pieces of advice I gave these guys collectively earlier this week. I said 13, 14, 15, whatever, 16 Republican candidates, instead of going after each other and tearing each other apart and destroying each other even before the debates begin, why don't you focus on Hillary, focus on the presumptive nominee.
Can you imagine what damage could be done if every Republican candidate, potential nominee, focused on Obama and Hillary, because they are the real opposition, instead of trying to tear each other apart with lack of loyalty or lack of fealty to single-issue things. Go after those guys.
Can you imagine what a year and a half of hammering Hillary would do? We don't need the Drive-By Media for this. Hillary's the presumptive nominee. We don't have to wait for the general to go after her. The Democrats and everybody are telling us that she's it. Oh, speaking of that, Elizabeth Warren was somewhere on TV, did not endorse Hillary. Well, she came close, expressed some reservations about Hillary out there, and that caused a lot of wet dreams out there in Progressiveville, 'cause they really would prefer her, in the lunatic fringe.
END TRANSCRIPT
Those who have met and conversed with Cruz invariably find him to be both intelligent and charming, not to mention direct in answering questions. I’m glad that some in the liberal media are acknowledging that as well.
Like Mark Levin said. The media doesn’t know what to do. This is a new wave of Republicans we’re seeing. These younger guys like Cruz and Paul and Walker and Rubio aren’t you’re run of the mill old Republicans. They’re intelligent and will run circles around the media.
Donated another $100 just now. Go Cruz!

Hillary [sic] should just go home and make the most of het remaining life, spend it with her grand-baby, and try not to either sit on it or eat it.
Like Dracula—Hillary will rise from the grave—Don’t count her out—just yet. Ted Cruz is looking better and better—BUT if he says one wrong thing—or a scandal comes out of left field—he will be done. You bet the Left and the MSM is looking hard at everything he ever said in grade school or college to tar him with. One mistake and he’s done (remember Gov. Perry?) —But Cruz is a smart man—I bet he will not make a mistake and he can fend off any made-up charges (like he didn’t pay his taxes or something).
This will cause the RINO wing of the GOP (but I repeat myself) to double down on Jeb. Republicans will have the best financed piece of crap in US electoral history.
I think at this point I’m going to just cheerlead for all of them who are taking it to the MSM and the Dems. We can sort out the pecking order in the debates. We all have our favorites but right now its a collective effort to rout the enemy.
TED CRUZ - 2016
http://www.tedcruz.org/
The problem with all of the men Republican ganging all up and go after Hillary is that Hillary’s words, her camapigm, the media has already made it clear that they will use the gender card.
If all the men Republican candates go after Hillary they will yell “ SEXISM “ loud and clear, that will backfire on the republicans and Hillary will get the sympathy vote.
To counter that is to wait until we get a nominee and then select a female VP running mate.
Ted Cruz / Sarah Palin 2016
It’s called polishing a turd with money.
I don't know.
He reminds me of a garage kept, low mileage 1983 Cadillac Cimarron - presentable, clean enough, but still an immutable POS.
Cruz is a smart man. He won’t FUBAR his attack. Let us sit back and watch the show, he will make the democrats yell, scream, wail and cry. And, that’s just for the opener....;)
I agree. Outside of Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, I’m liking this crop of Republicans. The Tea Party lives on.
Rush is walking right up to the point about all this but not quite coming out and saying it... let the discerning reader understand?
Hillary is over, finished, toast. Everybody knows it but her, exspecially her pals in the media, they're just not saying it.
Elizabeth Warren is gonna be the next affirmative action candidate from the Dems... as Rush says, "that's all they've got".
Only problem is, somebody's gotta break the news to youknowwho first... cue the Hitler video where the head general tells him about the Russians breaking through the last lines of defenses, headed this way with their flamethrowers.
