RUSH: Since the impeachment and Ukraine stuff got going here in October… Do you realize how long this had been going on? The House Intelligence Committee, not Judiciary — Schiff and his underground basement room where he called 18 witnesses… Schiff called 18 witnesses, not 17. We just haven’t seen anything released from the 18th witness. You know who the 18th witness is? The whistleblower. Schiff called 18 witnesses, depositions and so forth. Republicans zero.
Zero witnesses in Schiff’s underground SCIF where he was conducting these depositions and interviews and orchestrating public testimony based on what these people said during their depositions. Not one Republican witness was called. So Schiff presents his case all the way since October, and now the Senate says, “Well, we just saw a summation here bereft of evidence. We have nothing fact based in this presentation. We need witnesses!”
Well, Schiff had all the witnesses, and they don’t have any facts. It’s been going on since October. “In an ABC News/Washington Post poll, Trump has surged by double digits in head-to-head matchups against his competitors. Against the four most likely winners of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, in October Trump was down 56 to 39 against [Plugs]. As of now, the gap has closed 13 points. Trump is down four points to [Plugs], 50 to 46.” That’s within the margin of error in this poll.
Against Crazy Bernie, “Trump was down 14 points in October. That gap has closed by 12 to just a two-point lead” for Crazy Bernie. The point is… You might say, “But, Rush, these guys are still beating him.” Yeah, but that doesn’t matter, folks, because who’s…? Like I said to a caller yesterday: You can’t remember the polling data on this very day, January 29, 2016. You can’t tell me what it was. It doesn’t matter what it was then.
What matters here is in the midst of impeachment, since October — in polling data conducted by the Drive-By Media — Trump is wiping out the leads that these four Democrat potential nominees had over him. He is gaining ground during the impeachment, not losing ground. It is backfiring on them. It will continue to. Elizabeth Warren was ahead of Trump by 15 points; since impeachment began, she has lost every bit of that lead. Trump has wiped out her 15-point margin over him; they’re now tied at 48.
Even Mayor Pete, Pete Buttigieg. Back in October, Mayor Pete led Trump by 11, 52 to 41. As of now, Buttigieg has not only lost all of that lead; Trump now leads him by three. So there’s been a 14-point swing against Mayor Pete. So Trump is storming back. The support for the president in these Drive-By polls is just screeching. I mean, it is ramping up fast while this impeachment is taking place.
All of BJ’s wife’s polls had her WAY ABOVE trump, until election night and her humiliation.
Unfortunately, our domestic enemies have no shame and never personally experience humiliation, just blind rage.
I haven’t heard state poll results recently.
Before this round of silliness began, they seemed to indicate a less than 50% national popular vote, with perhaps an expanded Electoral College victory.
There has been increased speculation of what and why Democrat Senators are going to do. Such as Sen Finestein. Could this why ?http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3811836/posts#19
The reaction of that committeeman is policy
Schiff could have kicked back and let Republicans call whoever they liked, trotted out three dozen more liars who have been trained to look sincere on camera to slander Trump, have little gaggles of useful idiots protest in the halls, and drag things out for months while all the democrat wannabes spewed their own lies and exaggerations about Trump.
No, they ran it like the Soviet show trials with no representation for the at all for the condemned and every intention to go full Nazi on Trump by hanging him on a meat hook to die.
Pelosi and Schiff have shown they're among that small, ever present, group of people in the world who go insane when anyone challenges their right to rule over the masses of the unwashed unworthies. They see themselves as the elect when in reality, insanity and excess is always their handmaidens.
The Texas Congressional bellwether race was just won by a Republican........who decimated the Dem by 16 points.
This is more like the Animal House trial...
Something Reagan asked people in the mid 80s, has stuck.
How are you doing today compared to when I was sworn in?
How is the nation today compared to when I was sworn in?
The problem with deifying your exhaled ones, is that you have to stand by their record.
The Leftists were convinced Obama was a deity on earth. Don’t object, it’s true.
He was the best, the brightest, the most brilliant, the most handsome, the most desirable, the coolest, the most with it guy on the planet.
Who do you put up after that? If you’ve given the guy kudos and said, “This is who we are, and we have more just like him.”, you’ve got a viable option.
Well, that’s not what they did, and today they have nothing.
They were all-in on the Halfrican Prince.
Today his polices are in the dust-bin of history. His plans pushed aside, his accomplishments what few and minor they were, have been eclipsed spectacularly.
At the risk of offending some folks, I’d say we have done sort of the same thing with Trump. What I can say, is that Trump has earned every bit of respect he has been given.
That’s something Obama never did.
He was given the Nobel Peace prize for absolutely nothing.
He was given the respect and adoration of the Left, for that same accomplishment.
The globetrotting bowing poofter is today convinced he’s the smartest man alive, despite his supreme nothingness.
He speaks, and unlike the old E. F. Hutton commercial, nobody stops talking. His hot air is no more important than a breath of passed gas.
Donald Trump is the man. We probably don’t have someone just like him, but we have people in our line-up that will do a pretty good job.
They won’t be telling us we need to junk our nation.
Yeah, yeah, every single “poll” being trotted out there that says he is “surging” (note the quotes) shows:
1) His approval rating stuck in the mid 40’s and still ower than his disapproval ratings
2) That he is BEHIND every major Dem candidate for President ( yes, but he is surging alright ).
Wake me up when:
1) His approval rises above 50%
2) He leads his Democrat opponents.
