Could The Trump Effect Be Huge?

RUSH: What our last caller was trying to point out, he was saying that -- and he's obviously a Trumpster. So he's speculating. He's hoping. He's hoping that Trump wins big. He's hoping that Trump wins by bigger margins than whatever were predicted by the polling here in Iowa, then in New Hampshire. And if the polls are right, the guy may get his wish. But we won't know for a while. So his theory is -- his hope is -- that if that happens, that if Trump ends up scorching the field, that that is going to bring a bunch of Democrats over.

Because everybody wants to be part of what's happening now. Everybody wants to be part of what's winning. But his theory is the Democrats will never say so, in polling. He said no... 'Cause the Democrats, the voters are gonna assume that all pollsters are Democrats, so when they call or their computers call and ask 'em for their preference, they're all gonna say Hillary or Bernie, whoever the Democrat nominee is. But his theory is that if Trump wins big, that that's gonna automatically attract a lot of Democrats.

But we won't know it until Election Day, just like we didn't know that Ronaldus Magnus was gonna win in a landslide really until that night. Do you realize the last serious, credible poll one week before the election had Jimmy Carter winning by eight in 1980? And that election was over before the polls closed in California. Jimmy Carter conceded. He said, "No mas, no mas." Before they'd even shut down in California. That was a 47-state landslide, and then 49 states in 1984, running against Walter Mondale.

But nobody knows that, of course. That was just a Trump voter speculating and hoping.

I want back the Trump that I saw up until about 2 months ago. A Trump of some vision, general solutions and making America Great Again. For the last 2 months and even more as the caucus got closer I saw a Trump of little substance, wanting to win because he likes to win.

I want Trump to lose tonight. I want him to realize that he will have to win over American voters because of his vision, policies and a clearer idea of how he is going to make America Great Again.

I want him to win with a mandate. I don't want him to get things done because he can "make deals" with the Washington establishment and whoever else there is.

I want him to tell the Establishment I want this done and this done because I heard from the American people and this is what they sent me here to do.

I want him to win because as he campaigned across America he really got to know it's people. He got to see 1st hand how badly we have suffered with the kind of governing and government Obama unleashed on America.

I don't want him going to Washington just because he ran over all his opponents and won for the sake of winning. I want Trump to win for the right reasons.

I want him to win for the Kate Steinles, the the overwhelmed police who are now considered the bad guys and for the kids killed in Chicago whose lives don't seem to matter.

[Even for just a little while? Oh, the hugh manitee!]

Not even for a little while. YUGE needs to stand on its own. We can’t risk Hugh and Series to get watered down like the Barbie Doll.
