RUSH: Grab sound bite number 25. I want to get this one in and out. If I don’t do this right now when I’m thinking of it, it doesn’t fit with much else. But as a stand-alone, it’s one of these enjoyable things. This happened on CNN. Jonathan Martin, our old buddy from way back in the days when he was at Politico — and he still sends me every New York Times story he writes now. Every time I mention getting one, he sends me a little follow-up note: “Great to know you’re still reading my stuff.” Jonathan Martin.
So there’s this appearance that he did today. He was on with Kate Bolduan. Now, she spells her name B-o-l-d-u-a-n. Pronounced “BALD-win.” They were talking about women and sexist Democrats and sexism and racism and bigotry and homophobia and all this stuff, and Jonathan Martin shocked Kate Bolduan. She said, “You write” in the piece he has today “there are Democrats who chastened by Hillary Clinton’s defeat in 2016 who believe that a woman cannot win in 2020. Really?” She’s stunned by this! She can’t believe it that he’s actually written this.
So she said, “Really?” Is this really true?
MARTIN: It’s striking over the course of a couple of months this summer, talking to voters — not just at Warren events but events for other candidates — just how often you hear the same themes, and invariably those are the three issues that come up. It’s, “What is she going to say when Trump calls her ‘Pocahontas’?” because that’s going to drown out her broader policy message. And I think having seen what Trump did in 2016, both to the Republicans and Hillary with the nicknames. They all say it bluntly, that they have PTSD from 2016 and that they are just skeptical to the point of being cynical about where the country is now on gender. They simply say 2016 proved that we are not ready for a female president and we just have to play it safe this time around.
RUSH: He’s talking about Democrat voters! He goes out and talks to Democratic voters. He’s talking to Pocahontas voters. He’s talking to Democrats. And they’re down in the dumps because he’s hearing that Democrat voters think the country is still so backwards, still so patriarchal that a woman doesn’t stand a chance, and that Hillary Clinton is the clear and obvious evidence of it. This is a New York Times reporter saying this, and I don’t know. I just enjoy it. Whenever they hear something that goes against the grain of their own conventional wisdom, you can see they’re just not prepared for it.
This is the last thing anybody at CNN was thinking about until a New York Times writer comes along and says, “By the way, you know, there’s a lot of people out there, they think Trump is just going to spit her out. Just the nickname alone is going to beat her!” So I play this for you because I want you to always keep in mind: The media portrays the Democrats as assured and confident in their majority, that they are the majority, that America has become this anti-founding country that they seek. And it isn’t and it hasn’t. And whenever they get a comeuppance or the equivalent of a slap in the face to wake them up to reality, it’s just fun to behold.
Because the idea that the country is not ready to elect a woman? Do you realize how long ago they put that to bed? In fact, they think it’s the exact opposite. They think the country is probably clamoring for a woman and has been ever since Hillary Clinton ran in 2008! What they don’t see is that Hillary Clinton has lost twice. She lost in 2008 to the young, cool cigar/cigarette-smoking Barack Hussein O — and then she lost to Trump. She lost. But they still haven’t come to grips with it because, “She didn’t lose! The Russians stole the election.” They create these myths.
They create these lies and then they live them. So the only point here is don’t assume these people are ever superior. Don’t assume they are forever more confident. Don’t buy any of the attitudinal stuff that you’re exposed to each and every day in the Drive-By Media.
Nice dress but would you?
I wouldn’t have any problem voting for a woman, if she were the right woman and she was conservative. I don’t see any on the horizon though. I’m sure there will be female contenders for the GOP in 2024. Nikki Haley, probably. I’m not a big fan of hers, but I’d vote for her if she got the nomination.
They simply say 2016 proved that we are not ready for a female president and we just have to play it safe this time around.
America is ready for a woman president.
America may not be ready for a liberal overbearing belligerent antagonistic woman president, who calls us racist, sexist , xenophobic, etc.
America may not be ready for someone so blindly liberal, that she calls the Michael Brown incident a “murder”.
Bill wears it better.
Maybe she's role playing for Bill. Wasn't Monica's dress blue, too?
Only 1 of the 3 pictured is hittable.
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHA. The mental picture of that sans dress beyond repulsive.
Her standing there naked would likely be hilarious if you could get past the initial nausea.
Rod Stewart to BJ Clinton:
“You wear it well, there ain’t a lady in the land so fine”
I think it’s actually a rational and correct observation.
Except that men are not the problem. Other WOMEN are the ones who don’t want to vote for a woman.
They’ll never admit it. But the same sort of weird catfight dynamics that play out in workplaces with lots of women are at work here.
Hillary was no test of whether a woman could be elected president. She was sick, she’s very unlikeable, the Hill&Billy history is a perverted crime novel, ... on and on ...
Where are all of our expert PhotoShopers?
PDJT: Hey Pocahontas, how you doing?
Warren: Don’t call me that!
PDJT: You got it Lie-a-watha.
I wouldn’t (NOT pronounced would-dent)— RINO Haley is not constitutionally eligible.
But the polls all say they will win! And what about the 2018 suburban soccer moms who voted for Dim congresscritter? They can’t lose, right?
I wouldn’t.
Dem’s shouldn’t be nervous.
They should be wallowing in despair, reexamining their choices, their values and their life purpose.
Isn’t that the dress Bill Clinton wore in the oval office for the picture the portrait was painted from?
