RUSH: We welcome back to the program the vice president of the United States, Mike Pence.(snip)
RUSH: If this is what happens, Mr. Vice President, why vote Republican? What is the point of voting Republican if the Democrats are gonna continue to win practically 95% of their objectives, such as in this last budget deal?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, look, respectfully, Rush, I actually think this was, as the president said a little a while ago, I think this was actually a clear win for the American people. Look, you’ve had Washington, D.C., that has been, you know, paralyzed by gridlock and partisan infighting for many years, and in this new president you have someone who was able to bring people together and make a $21 billion increase in defense spending at a time of great challenge for America’s interests around the world. And that’s a — you know, he spoke about that today, surrounded by a lot of great members of the United States Air Force. And it was also a piece for years, Democrats in Washington insisted that any increase in defense spending would be matched with an increase in domestic spending.
So you gotta grow government at home if you’re gonna, you know, invest in our national defense. This ended that. I mean, in a very real sense this was a game-changer because we’re just back to putting the safety, security, and the national defense of the American people first, and I think it sends, having just traveled around the Asian-Pacific representing the president over the last couple of weeks, I think this sends a decisive message to the world that under President Trump’s leadership we’re gonna make the strongest military in history even stronger.

If thats the case its EXACTLY what Obama did with Iran.
Rush just watched it, didn't change his opinion, nor any of the callers. Of course callers are screened.
Yeah Rush was ok. Went after him a little. Didnt kiss ass.
Trump did say we would get tired of winning. WAIT. That was an SNL skit.
The people are growing restless for a big Trump win.
With all due respect, Vice President Pence, f*** you very much, sir.
If they are going to call this betrayal a win it seems hopeless to me. Congress just spit in Trumps and our face and rather then fight back his VP calls it a win. Pathetic.
Do I have this right?
Trump sends Mike Pence to go on the Rush Limbaugh show and put a positive spin on this no-go budget deal.
Well All Righty Then.
Pence did do a good job though. Did he convince anyone? Has anyone changed their mind either way? No, but oh well. He did a good job anyway.
The WH sent Pence to Limbaugh’s show? They afraid Rush would eat Trump for lunch? That move says a lot.
I'm betting before the year is out.
FUBAR!
Later.
Oh, please. Enough with the conspiracy theories.
People who think like you and I do on the budget probably represent 20% or less of the electorate, and what Ryan, McConnell, and Trump do are a reflection of that fact.
Dittos
This was a pure BS answer. A real snow job. Very disappointing.
The last thing you would do is send the President to a radio show to talk about a temporary resolution. VP’s have to have something to do and this is exactly it.
Not saying I agree with the rest of the story...that’s irrelevant to the question of who should go on the show.
Double dittos he has become a damned personality cultist cheerleader like the rest of them. I wonder how much it cost him trading in his conservative principles?
I’ve got a thousand bucks says you’re wrong, and Jim can hold the money. Loser’s money goes to an organization agreed upon by both of us.
What do you say?
