Democrat Debate Disaster: Big Win for Trump

RUSH: My God, are those people mad. Trump is just creating more havoc than he even knows in this party.

Anyway, folks, here we are at the end of yet another busy broadcast week. It’s Open Line Friday. And, as I said yesterday, things that you think need to be talked about and aren’t being, well, this is your day to call and bring it up. If you have a question or comment, feel free. It’s 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.

Okay. No matter how you slice this last night, it was another big win for Trump. Kamala Harris tore up Joe Biden. Now, this is kind of amazing to me. What did Biden get torn up over? All of a sudden Joe Biden, who was the vice presidential running mate and vice president for the first African-American president in the country’s history, is a racist pig!

Why in the hell did none of this come up when Obama was president? Why did none of this come up when Biden was running with Obama in 2008 and 2012? All of this stuff predates this. I mean, if Biden’s a racist today, he was a racist in 2008. If Biden was embracing segregationists way back in the seventies and eighties, nothing’s changed since then. Joe Biden got a total pass on all of this. He looked shell-shocked last night.

This is another thing. What did he expect was gonna happen? He’s the putative, supposed frontrunner. He looked totally unprepared for what came his way. And forget staff and forget advisers. Where the hell was he?

So much of this last night was just mind-boggling and to take it all in, in a two-hour compressed hate fest. I mean, they all stuck their hands up, every Democrat raised their hand for giving millions, unending numbers of millions of illegal aliens unlimited health care, stuck their hands up, every damn one of them! For crying out loud.

Now, a lot of people think Biden’s toast, and I’m of that frame of mind too. But I remember these things change on a dime. Do you remember 1984, Mr. Snerdley? Some of you may not. The first debate between Reagan and Walter F. Mondull. That debate is what ignited talk of whether Reagan already had Alzheimer’s. He seemed so out of it, so ill-prepared, so just disconnected that after the first debate 1984 between Mondull and Reagan, everybody in the Drive-By Media and a lot of Republicans were getting panicky.

Then the next debate, with one comment, Reagan ended it and turned it all around. You remember what the comment was? He was asked to jump on Mondale for something. He said, “I will not use the youth and inexperience of my opponent and advantages of my age and experience to criticize my opponent.” The house came down, the roof blew off, and everybody thought Reagan is back.

So does Biden have something like that in him? I don’t think so. But time will tell. But no matter how you slice this last night, big win for Trump. Because the frontrunner was taken out last night for all intents and purposes. Again, I say this with a couple of caveats, but I don’t think Biden was ever gonna survive, and I got audio sound bites of my prediction about this. I think he’s too old, he can’t keep up.

Last night demonstrated every reason why I have never believed that Biden is gonna end up being the nominee, and that’s before you add to it that they’re trying to tag him now as a racist pig. I mean, even the Reverend Jackson dumped on Biden today on CNN. So I guarantee you the people in the Biden camp watching that debate last night were devastated, shocked, stunned, “Oh, my God. Where is our candidate? Where is our guy?”

He was even calling time-out on himself when Kamala Harris devastated him for hanging around those segregationist senators. He said, “Oops. My time is up, right is he was on the cusp of making some great point.” His advisers had to be scratching their heads over that. But here they all raised their hands, unlimited health care for an unlimited number of illegal aliens, free stuff in addition to health care for illegal aliens.

You know that stuff on illegal aliens, I’m telling you what this is. I’ve developed this theory, and I don’t mind it being true, don’t misunderstand. But I think a lot of this — because how senseless is that? Nobody in their right minds, I don’t care who you are, wants free everything for illegals over free everything for everybody else.

I mean, how did the illegal alien community become the number one chosen constituency of the Democrat Party? They can’t even vote, legally. How did this happen? How did they become the most the most important constituency? How sensible is that, that illegal aliens — this is the reason Trump got elected. So these people come along and they make illegal immigrants their number one constituency?

I am convinced that they do this because they hate us and they think that we want to close the border and shut down all illegal immigration, and they just don’t want us to win or prevail. And I think they get so caught up in hating us that they end up adopting all these extremist positions. Not that they wouldn’t hold some degree of these positions. But I think it’s their hatred for us that sends them outsides the bounds of sanity. I really do, folks. And it’s a problem.

At some point you could sit and laugh at it, and you can even feel, if you want to, some pleasure that we’re able to get under their skin so easily. But so much of their agenda, so much of this insane, irresponsible, would-destroy-this-country agenda if they ever got elected and implemented this stuff is rooted in their hatred for us. And by “us” I mean conservatives. Conservatives more than Republicans. But in the process they end up just giving Trump a huge gift.

I swear — you’re probably gonna hear me reference this frequently during the program today, the amount of hatred and anger that came out of every one of these people last night, spewing such hate in attacking the so-called hateful Trump. Donald Trump doesn’t hate anybody. Donald Trump doesn’t come across as hating anybody. Donald Trump doesn’t come across as angry at anybody. These people do.

There wasn’t one laugh moment last night. There wasn’t anybody with any kind of a sense of humor. There wasn’t anybody that was able to make a human connection. That was nothing but a red meat, raw emotion exercise last night. They were just throwing red meat to the people in the cages, outside the cages. Wherever they thought people wanted red meat, they were tossing it. There wasn’t any humanity last night to speak of. There wasn’t any sense of humor.

Bernie Sanders, even. Bernie Sanders became out of control. And there’s a great piece today that I’m gonna be citing as the program unfolds. Somebody has written a piece based on my premise the past couple days that these people are so old-fashioned, they can’t innovate, they can’t modernize, and it’s gonna be end up being their demise. And even if you point that out to them, they’re not able to correct it.

So don’t worry; we’re not gonna ruin things by giving them tips on how to change. ‘Cause they won’t. They’re so stuck in this mind-numbed hatred and anger. What are they so afraid of to pander like this? Biden and Crazy Bernie. Yeah, I’ll tell you, folks, I’m 68. I hope I never, never come off as bitter and angry and sourpuss as every one of these people was last night. And let me tell you this. People who are being honest with themselves on the left realize what a disaster this was.

There was nothing about this last night that said, “Come join us.” This was nothing about this last night that said, “We’re your team. You want to be with us, we’re the champions, we’re gonna win, you want to be with us when that happens.” There was none of that. These people were scary last night. They were shrill. They were angry. They were out of control.

Even Joe Scarborough, who now hates Republicans because he hates Trump, was talking about he hoped that nobody saw this last night, it was so bad.

RUSH: It’s still really, really early. It’s entirely that possible that Biden can rebound from this. It’s just way too soon to know. So all we can do is analyze it as it happens, and then if we want to hazard some predictions for the fun of it, we can do that. Of course, I am very good at predicting the fortunes of people politically and issues and so forth. I don’t think Biden’s gonna survive this and I never have thought Biden’s gonna survive it, and I don’t care what the polling data is.

There are a whole bunch of reasons Biden isn’t gonna survive it, and I think at the top of the list is (and we could see it last night) he doesn’t really want this. There’s a whole lot of people engaged in this. They’re doing it because this is the only time they’ll be able to do it, or because for some reason they think they should do it or there’s a reason to do it other than winning. It pads the resume here or there.

But beyond all that, there isn’t anybody that’s debated yet on this Democrat field that looks in any way competent to behave as a responsible steward of the United States Constitution and the country. All there is is an almost uncontrolled rage and anger. These people come off as radical authoritarians hell-bent on flooding the country with illegals, and then giving those people anything that they want. That’s gonna crash the economy! These people seem to be even okay with that. Why would they be okay with that? What do they want to do?

Create a radicalized, centralized, intolerant, single-party-run country with an unrecognizable Bill of Rights! Their rage and anger is at many things, including at the country and at the Constitution, which limits their authoritarian impulses and desires. Look at how they run their own companies. Look at these people running the social media companies. We can see their disdain for freedom, freedom of speech, privacy rights, rights of self-defense.

The people running the tech companies are a great microcosm of what they would do if they ended up in the White House. They’re using their companies as radical weapons and ammunition against people with whom they simply disagree. You give these people presidential power like that and we don’t have the same country we’ve got right now. BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Do you realize that with one tweet Barack Obama could end this misery for Joe Biden, and he doesn’t do it, does he? With one tweet. “I know Joe. Joe was my vice president for eight years. There’s not a racist, segregationist bone in Joe’s body. And if I put Joe on a bus to anywhere, he’d get on. So shut up.”

Anything like that, he could end this for Biden. He could get a little testimonial. He could send Michelle (My Belle) out to say this if he doesn’t want to say it himself. But zip, zero, crickets. Silence. Silence.

Jesse Jackson, the Reverend Jackson, who spent his career endorsing people like Biden, threw him overboard today on CNN, after supporting him for the entirety of his life. And Biden should have been prepped for this, he should have known this was coming, but instead what’s he doing? Sitting up there like the grand pooh-bah thinking he’s untouchable, for whatever reason. Thinking, you know, they really won’t go after me. It looks at least like he thought that.

RUSH: I made some notes. That’s an overview. I made some notes as this thing was taking place. And, of course, the Drive-Bys look at this thing as a horse race, so there’s a mad dash to declare winners and losers. The only losers was them. The winner last night was Donald Trump. Hands down, no contest.

The Drive-By Media can’t see it because, as far as they’re concerned, Trump’s already defeated, Trump’s already lost. They’re gonna get Trump out of office with impeachment; Trump colluded with Russia. Despite the fact the Mueller report doesn’t say that, Jerrold Nadler is on TV saying that it does say that. They’ve got themselves believing that Trump is gone, he’s history. They’ve got themselves believing that everybody wants that to be the case.

So last night when it’s all over, you would not be wrong if you concluded that the Democrat Party has chosen as its number one constituency illegal aliens. They seemed to care more about illegal aliens than anybody else in their party. After that, they became the party of free everything. Including the party that wants to take away your health insurance if you have it through your job!

Did you catch that? A whole bunch of them raised their hands. They want to take away private health insurance and turn everybody over to Medicare, i.e., the government. That’s not a persuasive position. They must think that already enough people to cause them to win the election already want to get rid of their health insurance and turn it over to government.

There’s over a hundred million people in this country with private insurance derived from their employment, and they are saying they’re gonna take that away. They raised their hands eagerly. They couldn’t keep their hands down. They were so excited say, “Yep, we’re gonna take it away.”

Bernie Sanders then said, guess what, you people in the middle class, after I take your private insurance away, I’m gonna raise your taxes. There were even some dummkopfs that applauded in that audience, maybe even some of the moderators. Now, Crazy Bernie realized, wait, I have to explain this. He says (imitating Bernie), “Yes, I’m gonna raise your taxes on the middle class to pay for Medicare for all. But it’s gonna be such a good deal you’re gonna save on it. Even though I’m gonna raise your taxes, you’re gonna be saving so much more because you’re not gonna have these deductibles and the copays.”

Anybody that believes that deserves to have what happens to them if the Democrats win happen to them. This is the party that’s gonna make gasoline unaffordable in their quest to get rid of it. That’s their brand. No matter the nominee, if you want to fulfill the transformation of this country to what the Democrat Party now stands for, the transformation that Obama wanted, then these are the people you vote for.

And how do you do it? You flood the country with illegals, you give them free health care, free housing, free everything. Even though you can’t even house your own 60,000 homeless in Los Angeles, it doesn’t matter, the millions crossing the border every year, give them whatever they want, ’cause it’ll really tick off those conservatives. It’ll really make Limbaugh and Trump and Hannity, and everybody else mad. And they delight in that. Open the borders, give the illegal aliens everything they want. Give taxpayers nothing that they want. Force it on everybody. That’s the plan for single party rule.

RUSH: During the course of the busy program today, I’m gonna go down the list of various candidates — some things they said — and react to it. Rather than do it all at once here, I’ll intersperse this during the program. There is one thing I want to point out to you. Breitbart had a story, the headline: “Joe Biden’s Campaign ‘Freaking Out’ About Poor First Debate — Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign is ‘freaking out’ over his poor performance during Thursday’s 2020 Democrat presidential primary debate, according to a report.

“New York Magazine’s Olivia” Nuzzle… Why did think “nuzzle” when I saw this name? It’s Nuzzi. “The Democrat Party’s early front-runner was forced to defend his record on race in the face of tough questions from Sen. Kamala Harris, the only African-American…” She’s not an African-American! This is another thing. I’m kind of getting ahead of myself. You know, Obama inserts himself into circumstances he’s not part of.

Obama wasn’t part of the civil rights coalition. He doesn’t have “slave blood.” He’s Kenyan and white, and she’s Jamaican (she’s not African-American), and yet they both act like they are members of the aggrieved slavocracy. They get away with this stuff. They get away with inserting themselves into these situations in America’s past like they were the direct sufferers. Anyway… If Biden’s guilty of all this race stuff now, why wasn’t he in 2008?

Why wasn’t he in 2012? Why didn’t you people in the Democrat Party bring this up when he was Obama’s vice president? I mean, that’d be really bad, right? You got a racist pig like Biden running with the first African-American — I’m sorry, Kenyan-American, whatever — president? Ah, let me get started on the phones. We’ll start at Salem, Oregon. This is Sean. Great to have you on the program. Hi.

CALLER: I want to do two quick comments on the last two nights of debates. First comment: We’ve had roughly 20 candidates claiming the victimization card and how they represented themselves as potential candidates for the presidency. Various candidates representing LGBT, women’s reproductive rights, race, et cetera. (crosstalk)

RUSH: Okay, hold it. Let’s play a little game here. I know you’re not prepared for this. If you don’t want to answer my question, feel free. No pressure.

RUSH: You named all 20. You said they’re all playing the victim card. Let me throw you a name at you. You tell me how they played the victim card. Okay?

CALLER: The LGBT community, that he’s basically representing those who are marginalized in that community.

RUSH: Yeah, I agree with you on this. That’s why I’m asking. Mayor Pete’s up there; he’s saying, “I don’t know how these Republicans can call themselves Christians, thinking the things they believe. I don’t know how they can do it!” And I don’t know of any Christians that are out there ripping Mayor Pete for anything. He just making this stuff up. So Mayor Pete’s up there, and he’s the new John Kerry. “When I was in Afghanistan…” “By the way, I served in Afghanistan…” “As I did an Afghanistan…” And he mentions his husband that he kisses on TV all the time.

RUSH: So he’s obviously got a bug somewhere about being gay, and somehow he’s using that. He’s making himself a victim because of that. That’s what your point is, right?

CALLER: Well, and even Miss Harris last night as well. They’ve all basically taken positions to represent the —

RUSH: Oh, yes. “Mr. Biden, I don’t think you’re a racist, but I was that little girl that was bused, and you’ve caused me great pain.” Yes, you’re absolutely right.

CALLER: Exactly right. And my second comment is an observation is: You know, it’s curious. Republicans of the past who say they’re Reaganites, they reference the glory days of Reagan, saying that this is the type of Republican they would be. It’s curious too me that none of the candidates yet have directly referenced the glory days of their last Democratic president, President Obama. They’ve basically kind of avoided him, and even last night attacking his vice president. I think it’s proof that Trump has proven (they don’t want to admit it) that the Obama administration’s eight years were a failure.

RUSH: No question about that. I, too, have noticed that there are no accolades for Obama. There’s no… Remember when Obama was campaigning for Hillary? He said (impression), “If you want my third term, if you wish it could be me, then the closest you can get is to vote for her.” None of these people are saying, “If you want to go back to the great Obama days, elect me.” Now, part of that might be that doing that might elevate Plugs, since Plugs is now calling it the Obama-Plugs administration — uh, Obama-Biden administration. They may not want to do that. They may think that by citing Obama, they’re elevating Biden. But it’s still a good, good, good, good point. Okay. Glad you called. Glad I took the call.
