“Operation Chaos”
AKA
“Operation very overrated”
Obama did it to himself.
Yup... all Rush did was keep the bit¢h in the race.
Very, very much overrated.
Rush's encouragement might have convinced some Republicans to cross over and vote for Hillary, but I'm willing to be a considerable number of Clinton hating Republicans also crossed over to vote for Obama.
Any net effect was likely minimal.
Operation Chaos is and was first and foremost a marketing ploy by Rush. He managed to bring a lot of attention on himself and his show. He's managed to sell quite a few T-Shirts and get a lot of people (both Democrats and Republicans) riled up.
Hillary was leading in Ohio and was going to win it anyway. The end result of Operation Chaos couldn't have mattered more than a pledged delegate or two, and Clinton wasn't about to drop out.
However, Rush did manage to fan the flames of animosity within the Democratic Party, which is laudable.
He's also managed to cast a bit of a pall over Clinton's continued campaign among the conspiracy theory gullible left which will credit Rush with keeping her campaign alive and hate her even more for it.
If Hillary does somehow manage to win the nomination, it will be because Obama's cultivated image isn't able to stand up to criticism, and since Hillary wasn't going anywhere anyway, that would have happened regardless.
Rush has managed to fan the flames of strife within the Democratic Party, however he is also risking that whoever wins the nomination will manage to lay a lot of that strife off on his feet and pull the party back together.
It could have some positive effect, it could backfire, however most likely it isn't going to matter as much other than a way for Rush to bring more attention upon himself.
Agreed.
Limbaugh's ego prolly rarely lets him admit to himself that flyover folks still have enough common sense and patriotism left to recognize and repudiate the marxist evil of this election with 'half (their collective) brain tied behind their back'.
Good job on that tshirt niche tho, Rush
