Trump Beats Hillary in Swing State Polls; Betrayed Bernie Supporters Not With Her
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | July 13, 2016 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 07/13/2016 12:12:24 PM PDT by Kaslin

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: There's huge polling data. I can't wait to get to this for a host of reasons. It's polling data from battleground states. Hillary Clinton is plummeting. But there's even more to this that I want to point out. We'll get to it in mere moments.

Also, major, major backslash aimed at Hillary Clinton from Bernie Sanders supporters. The Drive-Bys did not tell you the truth about this yesterday. Bernie Sanders supporters were not wildly embracing Hillary Clinton. They were not happy that Bernie endorsed her. They're feeling sold out. They're mad at Bernie for giving up. They're mad at Bernie for pulling out. They're mad at Bernie for selling out. Bernie supporters never did understand what Bernie was there for. They never did understand that Bernie was never gonna be the nominee.

The 406 Times Hillary Clinton Nodded During Sanders' Endorsement

Bernie Sanders supporters either didn't believe it when they were told or they didn't consider it, but they were never, ever aware that Bernie Sanders was never gonna be allowed to be the nominee of the Democrat Party. They bought it hook, line, and sinker that he had a chance. He was winning all those primaries and he was not getting the delegates and they were getting fit to be tied, and they are not happy on a number of levels. And it shows up in these battleground state polls.

Anti-Hillary Democrats are rising in number. You know, we acknowledge there are anti-Trump Republicans. We know that. I mean, there's still a faction of them trying to deny Trump the nomination at the convention. I'm not kidding. You're probably aware of this. There's some Never Trumpers out there now trying to talk John Kasich into accepting the Republican nomination if they can find a way to run a coup to keep Trump from getting the nomination.

We know that there are some anti-Trump Republicans, but nobody ever stopped to think that there were a serious contingent of anti-Hillary Democrats, but there are. And, according to this polling data, there may be more, expressed as a percentage. There may be a greater number of anti-Hillary Democrats than there are anti-Trump Republicans. But there's a bunch of things that need to be said to put this in perspective, not just give you the polling data raw, because how we got there is fascinating in and of itself.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Just last week, ladies and gentlemen, I, your host, was accused of being in something called "Data Denial Syndrome." I was accused, along with Newt Gingrich and countless others, of being in Data Denial Syndrome, meaning that I was one of them who refused to believe the polls when the polls presented news that I disagreed with.

And this was bad! It is very, very, very bad to suffer from Data Denial Syndrome. It think it was me. It was Romney. I forget who else. But there were three of us prominently mentioned as suffering from Data Denial Syndrome, and it was about polling data that showed Trump just getting his clock cleaned by Hillary. "The Donald and his supporters are running out of time to face this reality. The election is four months away," and Limbaugh and others who have yet to recover from Data Denial Syndrome, refuse to admit the truth, that Trump's a disaster, that Hillary is pulling ahead, that Trump is not even doing anything to close the gap."

And they cited how I was one of many who didn't believe the 2012 polls. And I cop to that. I had my reasons. Okay. So just last week, I'm lumped in a group suffering Data Denial Syndrome because I won't accept "the reality" that Trump is losing and losing big and that Hillary is pulling ahead. The polling data was very clear and these people in Data Denial Syndrome, they look at the polling data, and if it doesn't suit 'em, they won't believe it. Accompanied to that was: These kind of people are not helpful to you.

Okay, fine.

So where we are today?

There's a story from July 1st. "Bloomberg: Clinton Spending Roughly $500,000 a Day on TV Ads, Trump Zero." The Story goes on to say how Hillary is cleaning Trump's clock. Trump isn't even campaigning! He's talking about himself and a "Mexican" judge. He's not even campaigning. Hillary's pulling ahead. Hillary's spending all this money. Trump doesn't have a chance. Story from today: "Swing-State Stunner: Trump Has Edge in Key States." Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio. (Gasp!) Hillary is losing ground in key swing states? Despite Trump having no money, no apparent campaign? Now, what am I to do, since I suffer Data Denial Syndrome?

Am I supposed to not believe this 'cause it's different now than it was a couple of weeks ago?

What, am I to do?

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: No, no. The point is that two weeks ago the experts said that it was over for Trump. The polls said so! Hillary was pulling ahead. I was accused of being a "data denier." Now two weeks later, Hillary is falling, and Trump is gaining on her in swing states. What about the people that two weeks ago said this wasn't gonna be the case 'cause of the polling data?

Wasn’t it Bernie who was crowing about how Killary wasn’t qualified? Now, magically, she is? Bernie—POS extraordinaire. How much did they give you—from the banks?

Very promising and it shows the Clinton needs to win all the Swing States and Trump could just win a few to win.

The Trump Train continues its roll....Has Limbaugh finally come on board? I dropped out of listening to him for last 30 years when was expounding that it was ok for Cruz delegates to steal Trump delegates saying “it’s in the rules” and I said...Picking your nose is not ILLEGAL but persons don’t do it because it just does not look good or right...

Rush is not politically suicidal. The choice this time around is Hillary or Not Hillary. And he’s not delusional like Bill Krisol & Co. Of course he’s supporting Trump.

Rush was infatuated with Cruz but he stated over and over that he would support whoever the GOP nominee was because they all were head and shoulders above Hillary. He ticked me off occasionally but he was at least consistent. He’s fully backing Trump now.

She’ll promise free tuition and loan forgiveness for those who already borrowed. Of course she won’t be able to deliver on any of that. She’ll blame EEEEEEEVIL Republicans for the failure, which should be good for Democrat wins in a couple more election cycles.

Trump beating Cankles by 10 among whites in OH.

Now,this is on twitter, but is this right? Trump TIED with Cankles at 40 among black voters?

If true, this race isn’t a tie. Trump’s up 10.

Remember the Bradley effect, at least 5-8% are afraid to say they are Trump supporters.

If all of that is true the Dem leadership knows they’ll have to kick Cankles to the curb.

We should know in a couple of weeks.

Yes, I remember that.

This also reminds me of polls taken in recent years, when we were still allowed to vote on the definition of marriage. On election day, liberals were stunned at the margins of victory for traditional marriage, compared to pre-election polls on the subject.

And it’s likely due to that Bradley effect. It’s likely that people didn’t to tell a pollster they opposed homosexual marriage.

I would not be surprised if a “silent majority” will vote for Trump, but don’t want to reveal that to pollsters, given that the liberals and media have piled on, and derided Trump in so many vile ways.

Mr. Trump pretty much is on his way to becoming President. Folks are going to vote for him because the liberals are right now are in attack mode.
