BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: The national Democrat nomination, Clinton at 49.3 and Crazy Bernie at 36, which is only a 13-point difference, and that's a very narrow gap compared to what it was. I mean, Bernie was down there in the high teens and maybe even lower than that when this all got going. The South Carolina Democrat caucus, Clinton 62, Sanders at 32.5. The question is can Bernie make up 30 points.
The Congressional Black Caucasians are all set to endorse Hillary except for their one holdout, James Clyburn says he's holding out here and not going to join the Congressional Black Caucasians in their mass endorsement of Mrs. Clinton. Out in Nevada it's dicier. The culinary union, the culinary workers, the knife-and-fork people a huge, huge union, and they're not endorsing. Normally this would be a slam dunk for Hillary. They are not endorsing. Sixty thousand members in the knife-and-fork union out there.
Now, again with unions, when the leadership endorses, it doesn't mean the entire rank-and-file goes that way. What it means is the money from the union is gonna go to that candidate, which is important.
On the Hillary e-mail front, you know, Catherine Herridge at Fox News is on her way to a Pulitzer on this. And if it were anything else, she would be guaranteed a Pulitzer. Catherine Herridge is uncovering more on a daily and weekly basis about Hillary and this e-mail scandal than any other network of reporters combined. And what she has uncovered now is that it's not just Hillary and a couple of others who had access to closed and secured top-secret data in this whole e-mail thing; it may be as many as 30 people, including people in her campaign, including one of her spokespeople, one of her political directors who had a lot to do with Benghazi.
I mean, Huma Abedin, Huma Weiner and just any number of people. I mean, it's broad-based. When you get down to it, in a different era where we had different values and a different sense of morality and integrity, this would disqualify her from even running. Not that long ago Mrs. Clinton would look at something like this and the fact that it's become public knowledge and would be shamed and probably would not run, would pull out, even Mrs. Clinton. And I'm not going back very far; 30, 40 years, which is a blip in time on the political spectrum.
But today it's a no-brainer. It's a ho-hummer. It doesn't make any difference. Everybody did it. Everybody does it. Colin Powell did it. Condoleezza Rice did it, except they're all denying that they did it. And then Jay Carney, the ex-White House spokesman, who's now where? Where did Carney go? He's the PR dude. No, he almost got the gig at Apple and didn't get the gig at Apple and went somewhere else, a magazine or something.
Anyway, he's no longer the press secretary at the White House. He's out there saying that President Obama wants Hillary to win. And anybody else saying that I would say okay, but Jay Carney? I think when you hear something like Obama wants Hillary to win and it comes from a former press secretary, I question it. I wonder if the exact opposite might actually be the case here.
And then there are stories of Joe Biden waiting in the wings. But you Bernie Sanders people, I have to tell you, the Washington Post today -- I'm gonna get into all this in great detail today -- the
Washington Post has an editorial today about the utter ugliness of Donald Trump's campaign and how the utter ugliness of the Trump campaign ought to scare everybody. And they get into reasons and they, of course, cite examples. And the recent example, of course, when the Trump female audience member shouted out an epithet of Ted Cruz.
Carney is senior VP worldwide corporate affairs, yeah, at Amazon. That's right. How does he know that Obama wants Hillary to win? Well, I know, he could still be in touch with him. Sure. There's something about it -- I can't tell you why -- something about Jay Carney of all people coming out and assuring us that Obama wants Hillary to win tells me it's the exact opposite. But you have to guard against that kind of stuff. That could be a little wishful thinking, interrupting my objectivity on this. So I have to express this stuff with caution.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: What I was gonna say about Bernie Sanders and his young idealistic voters, is wait 'til they find out that Hillary is getting all the delegates. Bernie Sanders wins New Hampshire by 22 points. I mean, it's a wipeout. And Hillary ended up with nine more delegates than Bernie Sanders. Now, you want to talk rigged game? Bernie out there saying, "Everything's rigged. The economy's rigged! Wall Street's rigged!" Hey, Bernie? So is your party's nominating process. A 22-point landslide win. I mean, he "schlonged and shmembered" Hillary Clinton, and she ends up with nine more delegates than he got?
I'm sure Bernie knows this by now, but do his supporters?
END TRANSCRIPT
Only this time that won’t go so well.
Cause they’re STARK RAVING NUTS!!
I think Rush is wrong on this. Oh, they will try. But it would be “sooo——eeee-—cide.” The Dems just don’t want Cankles.
I’ve never really believe Bernie Sanders wanted to win. He was just there to provide the impression of competition for Hilary.
It just took the party by surprise that he would do so well.
At this point I just dont think they can. Bernie has achieved escape velocity. The plan was to use him as a prop to cover Hillary’s coronation making it appear to be a clean race. The voters saw it differently and have essentially rejected Hillary. This despite insider deals to hand the nonmination to her via a bus load of superdelagates well in advance of the primaries. That and Hillary’s scandal baggage has been piling up. Nothing is going according to plan and eventually Hillary will be the one destined for under the bus. If the DNC waits too long theyll have no one but Bernie...a sure loser.
I think as soon as Jeb announces next week that he is Joining Hillary as her running Mate, she might be able to pull it off.
Joe Biden, or...
Al Gore
Most Bernie supporters will probably sit out the election if he doesn’t get the nomination. IMO
The power brokers in the dimoKKKRAT party who decide who the super delegates are will determine the outcome of the election. It has already been predetermined. The Bernie fans are in for a rude awakening.
I agree Rush is wrong.
This is a battle of Titans between the Uber-left (NW Anarchist, EnviroNazi, GiveMeFreeStuff) and the .com Democrats.
I know people in both these camps.
Do NOT underestimate the power in the NW USA.
When I lived in Portland, we used to joke that the people who thought Berkeley was too conservative, moved to OR/WA
“Most Bernie supporters will probably sit out the election if he doesnât get the nomination. IMO”
Agree 100%.
I know. Scary
Don’t think the dims give Sanders the nomination under any circumstance. He makes McGovern look like Goldwater.
Oh hell yeah they do.
Of course they won’t. They want Hillary
Good! Maybe then the young idiots will stay home instead of voting for the Hag. This kind of sleaze doesn’t exactly endear you to others.
Nominating Sanders would be suicide as he’s a terrible general election candidate, worse than her. We could never be so fortunate as to have him be the nominee. I don’t think they’ll need to “schlong” him with superdelegates, he won’t win most of the primaries.
Here’s a historical statistic about Bernie Sanders 60% victory in New Hampshire. The last time a non-incumbent won the New Hampshire Democrat primary by that big a margin was 1960. It may be in part a reflection of the leftward drift of ‘Rat voters, but it also shows huge mistrust for Hillary Clinton among her won party’s grass roots.
