RUSH: I have never in my life, and I really have struggled to remember, I wasn't old enough in 1964 to be aware of such things. I knew who Goldwater was. I even went to a Goldwater whistle-stop. My dad put us in the car, took us over to Southern Illinois where Goldwater was going through. I knew it was a landslide. I didn't know why. I didn't know anything about the conservative movement, knew nothing of any of that. But that aside, I have never in the rest of my life from 1964 forward, I don't think I have ever seen anything like we are witnessing today where our side has already conceded defeat.
Our side has given up. Our side has concluded that we are going to lose and in a massive landslide, and they are already making plans for recriminations after the election. A bunch of people you never heard of are preparing to sort out the blame and responsibility for those who made this all possible. And I'll give you three guesses who they are zeroing in on. That's right, my friends, your beloved host is to blame for all of this. Your beloved host is to blame for the other conservative hosts doing what they're doing.
I'm to blame for Trump being a candidate. I am to blame for it all, and they're all lining up getting prepared to exonerate themselves, of course. I'm talking about Republicans; I'm talking about conservatives, people that are quasi-conservatives. Think tank people you've never heard of are lining up now, already conceding that it's over, conceding that it's a landslide. They are conceding we've lost the House. They're conceding they've lost the Senate.
It's almost like they want that to happen. I've never seen anything like this before. But we're in the midst of it, and for all that that is worth and while that's all going on, there's a whole lot of people that have not given up, mainly you. There are a whole lot of people not willing to concede any of this yet because there's too much that doesn't make any sense, as we will explore in great detail on the program today.
The WikiLeaks document dump has produced an email from Podesta with go-to instructions on how to create polls that show an overwhelming Democrat majority for the express purpose of dispiriting and depressing Republican opposition.
Now, just to be clear, I have no idea what's going on. I have no idea who's gonna win. I don't have the slightest bit of inside information, and I don't feel confident giving you a straight up and down opinion on this. There's too much we don't know. There are too many things that we have learned that make me question all kinds of conventional wisdom. But I'll be the first to tell you I haven't the slightest idea what's gonna happen.
I'm like you, I watch everything that's going on. Some of it makes sense and some of it doesn't. And, like you, I have questions about things that you question. The fact that so many others do not have any doubt whatsoever, don't have any questions whatsoever, it's over, Trump is gonna lose in a landslide like which we have never seen, maybe Goldwater proportions, and we've got evidence here that that may not be the case and that evidence is being ignored and discounted by some, and it's being desperately clinged to by others. If you look at the behavior of the candidates, it doesn't make any sense.
Trump's out there everywhere he can go drawing massive crowds. Hillary's hibernating. Kaine and Obama and a bunch of others are sitting in for Hillary. She's nowhere to be seen. The others, her surrogates, are out there and even her surrogates are not drawing crowds. There's not a whole lot of excitement.
And Obama, when he shows up to do a campaign he can't stop talking about conservative media. He can't stop talking about it. Here's a guy who has mastered and succeeded with practically every agenda item that he had to one degree or another, and he's not even happy. He's still bent out of shape that I'm here. He's still bent out of shape that there's a Fox News. He's still bent out of shape that there's a conservative media.
END TRANSCRIPT
It’s always all about him.
Sometimes you can tell the character of a man by the people who align themselves against him. Netenyahu also comes to mind.
I think Trump can turn out to be an epic leader in our time of dire need if we can turn out and get him across the finish line.
Wondering if Levin has made the obvious decision to join the ranks. We’re two weeks out.
Nevertheless, I want my AM radio back, 770 AM New York, 6-9 PM. Can you make that happen, Levin?
I still have my Goldwater elephant pin with the Goldwater glasses.
This campaign is NOTHING like that one.
I’ll hold the hope that the other side is so vengeful and dangerous that it needs to go down *now*, much more than the faithless need an object lesson.
Purim x 1000. I prefer sooner rather than later.
I was told if I voted for Goldwater, we’d have riots in the streets and would get into a long unwinnable war.
Well I voted for Goldwater, and darned if they weren’t right.
I doubt many Freepers think Trump will not win the vote. The problem lies in voting machines and massive databases and corrupt judicial system that the Obama administration has put together. No matter how it plays out there will be massive disruption likely riots maybe even foreign opportunists. Fabian Socialism is real.
I checked Obamacare rates 2 years ago for hubby and me, a then 61-year-old couple in good health living in Pinal County, Arizona. There were over 70 plans offered and the rates ranged from $700 to $2000 a month. We are now 63 years old but still in good health, and I checked the 2017 rates today, just for shitz and giggles. There are 4 plans offered to us, with premiums ranging from $1850 to $3250 per month. We make over $62500 per year so no subsidy, but we’re hardly rich. How in the world is a middle class couple supposed to pay this? Thank God we are covered by my husband’s job now, but that could change in an instant like it did in 2013. I hope all the architects of this monstrosity rot in hell for what they have done.
Moore IS NOT behind Trump, he’s just (accurately)explaining how Trump supporters think and is obviously jealous that Trump snuck to his left on trade, since he’s a big fat limousine liberal.
I do remember the 1964 election. I remember the “Daisy” commercial, though it was only shown once officially. And I remember how emotional and passionate Democrats were in their belief that Johnson would not send our boys to South East Asia. And I remember how the divisive and corrosive anti Vietnam War movement began.
All this can be summarized by the joke that went around after that year. “A friend of mine told me that if I vote for Goldwater, our boys will be fighting in a war in Vietnam! Well, I did vote for Goldwater... and damn if my friend wasn’t totally right!”
I was out there for Goldwater, even though pretty young at the time. We were so excited after the convention. There were so many reasons that the country needed to move in a better direction than it was in 1964.
But at some point we sensed that our message was not resonating. Goldwater’s words were being twisted. Our last thrill was Ronald Reagan’s speech a few days before the election. But even at the end of that election, we didn’t hear that the Republican establishment had thrown in the towel.
This is the FIRST election we’ve seen where so many high-ranking GOP leaders have said openly that they expect to lose. Even in 1996, our leaders knew it was starting to sag for Dole/Kemp, and they did not voice it. They still held out hope, at least in public statements.
What Rush is saying is that we’ve never been through a cycle where our own people announced a loss weeks ahead of the election. Not for Goldwater, not for Dole, or any other candidate. So are they seeing things we aren’t seeing and running for the tall grass, or do they just want Trump to lose and hoping for a loss?
I remember the LBJ commercial. They say it only ran once but the media played it again and again. They said it was “news”. The Rats and the media have been colluding for decades if not centuries.
The Rat Media Complex is a claymore. Pointed at US.
Wow! You are right! Why move money out of the country, unless they think they will lose control of their assets after the election?
“the sheer number of Trump supporters is so massive, they may have no choice but to let it happen.”
I think you have something there. That “sheer number” will likely out number voter fraud by a sufficient amount to still create a landslide for Trump.
My primary concern is what will the libs do with defeat? When I talk libs, I also mean the leftist RINO’s/GOPe types too. It will not be pretty.
Trump has waded into the political arena in a way Rush has only dreamed of doing. Rush is probably more than a little jealous of Trump’s growing hero status.
Joy!!! I’m optimistic!
Trump was pumped for his St.Augustine Rally.....so were the people!
20,000 for the Tampa Rally and Bobby Bowden endorsed.....woohoo
PRESS ON TOWARD THE GOAL!!!!!!
A big part of his point was that so many on “our side” are throwing in the towel and making excuses for not trying to fight the good fight - why do so many get so distracted by bits and pieces that they miss the real points?

Excellent analysis!
Ping to this; explains why polls are flawed... They don’t account for the newly-registered voters.
