RUSH: Okay, folks. I’m sorry it took me so long to figure this out, but I have now figured it out. I know what’s going on in the Democrat Party and I’m embarrassed I didn’t see it before last night. I saw it last night, began to get the rumblings of it when Klobuchar, Buttigieg gave up and decided to join Plugs. And then Plugs goes and gets Beto O’Rourke and makes him minister of getting guns out of people’s hands. I saw what’s going on last night.
I’ll just give it to you, in a nutshell. The Democrat Party expects to lose, they expect to lose the presidency. They don’t want Bernie Sanders to be the nominee because they don’t want that kind of shellacking. They think they’re gonna lose with Biden anyway. And outside there’s some shock in Biden wins, there’s somebody that’s gonna actually be president besides him. But the point is that this is all about — this is classic. This is all about the Democrat establishment, including media people, protecting themselves against a Democrat electoral defeat.
This is all about Chuck Todd and all the guys at ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN keeping their jobs and keeping their credibility. It’s all about Donna Brazile keeping her job at the DNC or whatever her job is. It’s all about the Democrat establishment not being swept aside like the Republican establishment was swept aside when Trump won. They don’t want any Never Trumpers in the Democrat Party. The people that would become the equivalent of the Never Trumpers, the Never Bernies, they don’t want to lose their positions. If that means that they have to lose to Trump, then that’s fine. It is so obvious to me what’s going on.
And I also owe you another apology ’cause I was wrong about something, and I was wrong about it big time. I’ve said prominently on this program twice that Biden would never be the nominee, that he doesn’t have a prayer, that it isn’t gonna happen. And I said that because he’s infirm and he’s old and he doesn’t know where he is and he lies and — you can’t even say that he lies. He doesn’t even know that he’s lying.
There’s something really bad going on, and whoever is putting him out there really deserves to be called out on it. Joe Biden has no business being the frontrunner for any political party seeking the presidency. Last night he couldn’t even — actually, maybe he was actually smart for the first time. You know, if you’re Democrats, you don’t mention God. You mention God, you get in big trouble. So he found a way not to mention God last night in reading the preamble to the Constitution. I’ll show you what I’m talking about in just a minute when we get to the audio.
But Joe Biden is embarrassing himself every day. Now, he doesn’t know it, but there are people who do. I thought that because of this, because I really thought they thought they had a chance to win the presidency, that they would not throw him up there because he’s not going to win. But remember what I said many, many times? Now they’re looking at, okay, who would they rather lose with. And they don’t want to throw away Buttigieg. They think he’s the future. They don’t want to throw away Klobuchar, but Klobuchar doesn’t have a chance of winning anyway.
Throw away Plugs. This is a great swan song for Plugs, he’s been a loyal vice president, he’s done whatever the party said. Now it’s his job to go out there and lose as the party moderate. His job is to go out there and be Walter F. Mondull, and while he loses, he is to maintain the Democrat Party establishment in power.
Remember, Trump sweeping to victory also swept out the Republican Party establishment, and they became, in part, the Never Trumpers. They are a bunch people without a party now. The Republican Party doesn’t want them. They don’t want the Republican Party. Hell, they’re now endorsing Plugs. These Never Trumpers, these conservatives, people that were charging you thousands of bucks to go on their conservative cruises, they’re now endorsing Democrats, for crying out.
The Democrats do not want that to happen to them. And if it means Joe Biden losing the presidency but they remain intact as the face, as the power structure the Democrat Party, then that’s what will happen. And they fear, if Bernie Sanders gets the nomination, he’s gonna go down in a stinging defeat, and they don’t want to have to defend Bernie.
They don’t want to have to be on the Bernie side because they don’t think Bernie and his madcap left-wing radicalism is helpful to them in their positions at the think tanks, at the networks, at the newspapers, you name it. So I have to tell you I was wrong. I was dead certain when I told you. I was not only dead certain, I was speaking to you with ontological certitude. I swore to you Biden was not gonna be the nominee. Remember that? I could have Cookie go back and get it, two different sound bites. Don’t do it, Cookie. I don’t have enough time to waste.
But I have to withdraw that. I have to take it back, because now I think it’s clear, since Plugs had such a glorious day at the South Carolina primary. It’s just amazing how Plugs exceeding expectations by a couple of points has now revived everybody. And so Plugs is the guy, Plugs is the guy they want to be the nominee.
Here’s the problem they’ve got, though. And I’m kind of hopscotching around here. One of the problems they’ve got is all this early voting. You know, in North Carolina, 500,000 out of 800,000 have already voted, for example, in the Democrat primary before Buttigieg and Klobuchar quit. And ditto California. In California, a bunch of Democrats who early voted are asking for their votes back now that Buttigieg and Klobuchar have quit, and they want to revote, and California said, “Nope. Doesn’t work that way. We vote one time out here and that’s it.”
So they don’t get their votes back. So it may be too little, too late for Plugs. It may be too little, too late for this massive South Carolina, which was — this is how easily these Democrats lie to themselves. Actually thinking after one primary that Plugs is now cruising to the presidency. It’s fascinating to watch this stuff, folks. I’m telling you, the early voting, it may not — you know, Plugs’ resurgence here may not happen soon enough and there might be a bunch of early votes already in there for Crazy Bernie.
It’s gonna be a fun night to watch these returns tonight, ’cause the Democrats, I’m telling you, I know now what this is about. I should have seen it sooner. I’m sorry. I apologize. I should have seen this weeks ago.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Now, look, in my defense (’cause I need to defend myself), when I assured every one of you that Biden was not gonna be the nominee, I made that prediction while under the assumption that the Democrats were gonna nominate somebody that they thought would win the presidency. That’s the difference here. They don’t… This is not about that. It’s about two things. It’s not about winning the presidency right now, believe it or not. It’s about, A, keeping Bernie from running; and, B, it’s about the Democrat establishment.
Think media, think guests, think think tank members, think Washington establishment. It’s about them maintaining control over the Democrat Party, maintaining their gigs, maintaining their jobs, maintaining their perks and privileges. And they won’t if Bernie goes, ’cause if Bernie wins or if Bernie goes down, Bernie’s gonna be the titular leader of the party anyway. The party’s gonna fracture like crazy, they think. (sigh)
So I made the prediction while assuming that they would never nominate Plugs if they were serious about winning the White House, and that’s not their objective right now. There are two things that come before that. So just in my defense.
In 2024, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will introduce the “New Democratic Party.”
Biden: Manchurian Candidate....
Protect the swamp.
Rush spot on - Dem swamp establishment throwing their voters under the bus, protecting the rot that festers their party ... they know they need to blow it up and rebuild, but too much $$$ on the line for the corrupt leaders.
Hillary will be running mate
The Burn gets side swiped this round and we will get to see-
THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!
Coming this summer in Milwaukee WI.
Getch yer popcorn early. Gonna be a site to behold.
I honestly think Biden is their only shot. Sanders is a sure fire loss. Everyone else is no longer a contender.
Live in a high percentage liberal area (like we did in the Bay Area), and you come to realize what would seem to be rational to most people isn't rational to liberals.
“America’s Socialist Sweetheart”
What’s American about her?!
Biden appears to have missed his opportunity in 2016.
he got stabbed in the back for HilLIARy and of course HilLARy couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Podunk, besides Podunk is in her Deplorable FlyOver Country
anyay Biden seems past his prime now.
My bets are on the SorozNazi DNC insiders selecting a ‘new face” before (and at) the D nomination
someone we aren’t discussing (or scrutinizing) now.
It could have been Oprah imho, but she’s turned it down so many times....after all, she’s not stupid, she realizes its a shitttty job
but someone who will take orders (!) and who has a good public image... probably from sports or entertainment
Isn’t Puerto Rico part of America?
My pet theory still holds:
None of the candidates, besides Bernie, want the nomination - lest they get destroyed by Trump, wrecking future political career.
Bernie doesn’t expect to win, is ready to retire, and this is his last chance to get the biggest stage he’ll ever have.
In need of SOMEONE to play nominee, candidates are throwing their support behind Biden, who has no political future to lose. He’ll go thru the motions (himself, or via puppeteers), be lauded for a spirited attempt, and be shown the door (to a cognitive-care nursing home) November 4th.
DUH RUSH! You are half way there... they know they are losing this fall
The other half you haven’t seen yet, is they aren’t just throwing this fall, their intent was to throw this fall with a leftist, to knee cap the far left wing of the party...
I Believe their plan was to Take out Biden with the impeachment and get Warren (who was actually leading polls at that point)...
However they appear to have overestimated Warren and Underestimated Bernie.
Their plan was take out Biden, get warren as the nominee, get crushed and then use it to knee cap the far left of the party and moderate for 2024.... when they might actually have a shot at winning.
Bernie however appears to thrown a wrench into their plans... I Still believe the party big wigs know they have to moderate, and have to knee cap the far left if they ever want to win a national election and state wide races again.....
But Bernie wasn’t their planned player... he’ll definitely do far worse with the down ballot races than Warren... So if he winds up the nominee they will get crushed... but the damage will be far more than they planned, as it will almost certainly give the house back to Republicans and give them a few more Senate Seats as well...
So now they are in a rock and a hard place... Let Bernie be the nominee and knee cap the left, but the price will be far higher than just losing the White House, it will cause them huge losses in the house and Senate... of Bail on their plan and force Joe into the nomination and deal with the fact the far left will still have more power next cycle, but they won’t be in such a bad position in congress.
These factions are fighting this out now.... The entire Impeachment was part of this plan.. as was Pelosi’s little tantrum at the SOTU...
Problem is Warren was weaker than they though and Bernie stronger...
For the moment
Should be given its independence or returned to Spain
Nice place, been there a lot
It’s the Spanish Caribbean...nothing really American about it except for the chain hotels. But nice..
The dems need another bammy. Someone who pretends to be a “committed Christian,” to love this country and to love Whites but really goes to work for our sworn enemies and to promote *slam, which promises to eliminate Christianity. Someone who destroys the economy.
All they have is an old goat with missing brain cells, a marxist who would take all of millionaires’ money, and an angry shrew who would scare Dracula to death.
“Throw away Plugs. This is a great swan song for Plugs, he’s been a loyal vice president, he’s done whatever the party said. Now it’s his job to go out there and lose as the party moderate. His job is to go out there and be Walter F. Mondull, and while he loses, he is to maintain the Democrat Party establishment in power.”
That’s been my thinking all along. The Dems are TERRIFIED of Bernie, et al.
The Dems will play the mental state of the Bernie element like a Stradivarius and turn them into social justice shock troops. They will make a play for civil war but that will fizzle like Mueller report, the impeachment and all the rest of it fizzled.
“Protect the swamp.”
That’s what Crossfire Hurricane was about, that’s what the dossier was about, the coup, Ukraine, Mueller - that’s what everything done by the political establishment is about.
To them it’s their government, not ours.
It’s what EVERYTHING is about.
