Brilliant Idea! A Republican Response to the Republican Debate

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Here's my idea for the debate tonight, 'cause the Republicans are on a roll with this. Why not do a Republican response to the Republican debate and have somebody from the establishment go out there...

You know the networks will televise it, if you offer it to CNN, 'cause it's on the Fox Business Network. So if you go to CNN and say, "We want to do the Republican response to our own debate tonight," you know CNN will lap if up. CNN will do a countdown clock to that! CNN will give the Republican an hour to respond to their own debate. You could have anybody from the Republican Party. You could have anybody from the establishment to go on, maybe the Fox News Network instead of Fox Business, or maybe it's...

But they gotta do it on a different network. Maybe do the same network. I don't know. Offer it to MSNBC, offer it to NBC, but you're gonna send somebody from the RNC or an elected Republican who will respond to the debate and tell the American people what the Republicans did in the debate that the party wants to disavow. It's brilliant: The Republican response to the Republican debate. You send somebody out there to assure the American people that what they just saw does not represent the Republican Party. "When so-and-so said this..."

And you go get Frank Luntz with his focus groups out there, and you could have the focus group focus-grouping reacting to Republicans. And whenever somebody says something have Luntz report the reaction to it and say, "See, this is not who we Republicans are!" I mean, it's a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant idea. The thing is, I wouldn't be surprised if they do it at some point. Don't you like that idea? Doesn't it make perfect sense, given the way we've been responding to, say, Obama's States of the Union and other things? I mean, clearly the Republican Party is embarrassed of some of its candidates.

The Republican Party's worried sick that the media and the independents are gonna get the wrong idea about the party. This is a way to make sure that doesn't happen. I guarantee you, there'd be as big an audience for the response as there would be for the debate. Guaranteed. (chuckling)

How about a Republican response to Governor Haley’s disgusting supposed Republican response to Obama’s State of the Union fantasy?

Haley is the Republican party. Conservatives aren’t welcome there.
