F. Chuck Todd at NBC News has tweeted the same thing. &#8220;Some GOP Donors Think Christie\u2019s &#8216;2016 Hopes are Done.'&#8221; Today, Christie gave his inaugural address to commence his second term as governor of New Jersey.  Among the things he said: &#8220;We must shun partisanship. We must take action on behalf of the people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CHRISTIE:  We cannot fall victim to the attitude of Washington, DC, the attitude that says, &#8220;I am always right and you are always wrong,&#8221; the attitude that puts everyone into a box that they are not permitted to leave, the attitude that puts political victories ahead of policy agreements.  The belief that &#8220;compromise&#8221; is a dirty word.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86255\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Christe.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Oh, my. (stammering) So apparently here we\u2019re trying to salvage Republican donors here with this kind of bipartisanship talk?  You know, it\u2019s not just Governor Christie.  There are a lot of RINOs and Republican establishment types and consultants who say, &#8220;We can\u2019t have this attitude, &#8216;I\u2019m always right and you\u2019re always wrong.'&#8221;  What if it\u2019s true?  What if we are right?  Are we supposed to just forget it because it\u2019s not fair or it\u2019s not right or it\u2019s not kosher to be right?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Are we supposed to let the people that are wrong win some now and then just to be fair about it, just so we can say we\u2019re getting along?  He said that attitude puts everyone into a box that they\u2019re not permitted to leave.  What do you mean, &#8220;not permitted to leave&#8221;?  People leave whatever box they go into any time they want.  The &#8220;attitude that puts political victories ahead of policy agreements&#8221;?  I defy anybody to separate political from policy. <\/p>\n<p>There isn\u2019t one, for example, Obama policy that\u2019s not political, and it\u2019s that that creates the argument.  Of course, they think the same thing of us.  This talk emanates from the belief that people hate us because we are inflexible and we are not cooperative and we don\u2019t compromise.  So Governor Christie obviously still thinks that there is ground to be gained in speaking this way.  Now, let me give you an example of how the Democrats are heeding Governor Christie\u2019s call for bipartisanship. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86254\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ChristieJan9.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I have it right here, breaking news from ABC\u2019s New Jersey affiliate.  The headline: &#8220;New Jersey Democrats Form Joint Panel to Probe Christie Scandals.&#8221;  There you go.  There\u2019s your vaunted bipartisanship.  &#8220;New Jersey Democrats Form Joint Panel&#8230;&#8221;  So you got a panel of one Democrat, there\u2019s another Democrat, a bunch of Democrats on one side, a bunch of Democrats on the other side, and a &#8220;joint panel&#8221; of Democrats to probe the Christie scandal. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s their definition of &#8220;bipartisan.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The breaking news story <a href=\"http:\/\/abclocal.go.com\/wpvi\/story?section=news\/local&#038;id=9401720\">from the local ABC affiliate is originally from the AP<\/a>:  &#8220;New Jersey Democrats Form Joint Panel to Probe Christie Scandals.&#8221; So the AP provided that line for the New Jersey ABC affiliate.  The article, says, &#8220;New Jersey Democrats are merging legislative <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10385\">committees to investigate allegations<\/a> that members of Republican Gov. Chris Christie\u00c2\u2019s administration abused their government power. &#8230; The committee will be made up of eight Democrats and four Republicans,&#8221; and there we\u2019ve got our bipartisanship.<\/p>\n<p>So we have a Democrat-led panel looking into the Christie scandals, and that\u2019s their definition of bipartisanship and compromise and working together and all of that: Eight Democrats and four Republicans.  That is bipartisanship. It\u2019s permitted.  That\u2019s good bipartisanship.  The Republicans, even if they\u2019re unified, can\u2019t stop anything here.  This kind of dovetails with what I was talking about in the first hour, this next sound bite from Governor Christie and his inaugural speech.<\/p>\n<p>CHRISTIE:  You see, as we saw in December regarding the DREAM Act, we can put the future of our state ahead of the partisans who would rather demonize than compromise.  As your governor, I will always be willing to listen, as long as that listening ends in decisive action for the people who are counting on us to do our job.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Here, again. Some of you might think this is nitpicking, but this goes to right to what I was talking about.  I, for one, am not waiting with bated breath for people in government to do their job every day.  I\u2019m hoping that every day\u2019s a snow day and they don\u2019t show up.  We have enough law.  We don\u2019t need any new law, and certainly not on the massive scale that we\u2019re getting it.  But this presumes that people &#8212; and they do exist, folks.  This is the problem. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86252\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ChristieStressedPIX.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This presumes that there are people waiting with bated breath to see what the next decree from the government or from the state is, because it comes with the final authority, and the state will tell you that you\u2019re illegal.  The state will tell you that you\u2019re a racist, you\u2019re an extremist, or whatever the law happens to be rooted in.  &#8220;Partisans who would rather demonize than compromise&#8221;?  How about partisans who would rather stand for individual freedom and liberty rather than compromise over how much of it we\u2019re going to lose? <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think that\u2019s an extreme position to take at all. <\/p>\n<p>Government does not expand liberty.  Not here.  Government does not expand freedom.  Government chips away at it, by definition.  You couple that with so many people thinking that whatever comes from the government is the final authority.  There\u2019s no questioning it.  That\u2019s how you end up with so many uncurious, unquestioning, accepting, blindly accepting people who think that anybody who opposes whatever\u2019s coming out of government is some sort of rabble-rouser creating problems for everybody else. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Gloria Borger this afternoon.  This is CNN\u2019s special coverage of Governor Christie\u2019s inauguration.  After he finished, Jake Tapper spoke with the Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger about Christie, and Tapper said, &#8220;Gloria, there was a Pew poll out yesterday suggesting that Governor Christie\u2019s unfavorable ratings among Democrats and independents have doubled, that his poll numbers in general are taking a dip.  How much trouble, Gloria, do you think Governor Christie\u2019s in, in the long term?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86256\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Borher_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>BORGER:  If you look at these poll numbers that are coming out today, you can see where his problem is.  Those independent voters, who (sic) just put this up on the screen, 58% do not believe him &#8212; and it\u2019s a governor who was talking about trust today, and in a matchup against Hillary Clinton &#8212; I know this is early, Jay, very early. But what was impressive was that he had been kind of neck and neck with her, and this latest Quinnipiac poll shows that he is now lagging eight points behind her, and it\u2019s those independent voters that have deserted him, at least for now.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Oh, no! Ladies and gentlemen, this absolutely horrible news for the GOP establishment, because they are convinced that you can only win elections with the independents.  They ought to look at Romney.  Romney cleaned up with independents in 2012 and lost sizably.  But depending on where you look, we\u2019re going back and forth on the importance of independents anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the story, depending on the day, they\u2019re either the most important group or they\u2019re not important anymore.  But for the media\u2019s purpose here, the independents remain the coin of the realm, and Governor Christie\u2019s losing them. In this Quinnipiac poll, he\u2019s down eight points.  There was another poll last week. I think it was Gallup. There were two polls that showed Christie leading Hillary by a couple of points, and in those two polls, Christie was the only Republican beating Hillary.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the establishment was all-in, then <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10473\">this Bridgegate thing happened<\/a>, and Christie had plummeted. He lost 13 points.  He was 11 points behind Hillary in the same two polls, and Gloria Borger is saying it\u2019s because the bottom has fallen out of the independents; the independents, they just don\u2019t like it when you close their lanes on the bridge.  They just don\u2019t.  You start closing the independents\u2019 bridge lanes and they\u2019re gonna take it out on you.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, I have to admit, I was a little curious about something here.  We played the Gloria Borger sound bite, and she said that in their precious polling on the Quinnipiac polling, that Governor Christie is losing independents.  Now, he\u2019s not losing independents, folks.  In fact, most polls show that Governor Christie is holding steady with independents.  Who he\u2019s losing is, who do you think?  No, not Democrats.  He\u2019s losing Republicans!  January 2013, Christie\u2019s favorability with independents was 37%.  And here in January 2014, favorability with independents is identical, 37%.  This according to the Pew Research Center, USA Today poll, out today. <\/p>\n<p>His approval numbers are down, but he\u2019s not down with independents. He\u2019s not losing the independents.  Apparently the independents don\u2019t care if their lanes get closed from Fort Lee to the George Washington Bridge.  In fact, his disapproval rating with independents is up a little bit, true, but the approval rating is the same.  But his disapproval with Republicans is up 7%.  So that\u2019s probably the bulk, at least according to Pew and USA Today.  He\u2019s losing Republicans.  Why would that be?  Why would he be losing Republicans, establishment RINO type Republicans in New Jersey?  Why would that be?  <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10476\">I guess they\u2019re wildebeests<\/a> and they just don\u2019t want to run to help him. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 27.  We\u2019re gonna close the loop here.  We had Gloria Borger after Governor Christie\u2019s speech saying (paraphrasing), &#8220;Well, I don\u2019t know, Wolf, he\u2019s in big trouble out there. Massive, massive defections among the independents.  Just really not good.&#8221;  And we\u2019ve heard now that the Democrats, in their own brand of bipartisanship, have impaneled a committee to investigate Christie\u2019s transgressions.  Eight Democrats, four Republicans.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86265\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushReestablishConserveCongrss.jpg\"\/><BR\/>So when Gloria Borger finished, reported all this, Wolf Blitzer, CNN, decided to close the loop.  Now you might be thinking, &#8220;Why are you wasting our time with Wolf Blitzer?&#8221;  Because this is instructive.  Keep in mind who Wolf Blitzer is, where he works and his worldview, and this will tell you a lot.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10369\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86266\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wolf.jpg\"\/><\/a>BLITZER:  I think it will help him.  I think it was a powerful speech, and he delivered the proper tone.  It would have been a really amazing speech if he didn\u2019t have these clouds of these current scandals in New Jersey hovering over him.  It would have been a nice step in the direction, potentially, toward a 2016 presidential run.  He\u2019s got a lot of problems right now, but I think on the whole it was a very strong speech, a powerful speech that will help him.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  So in Wolf Blitzer\u2019s view, all that talk about not blaming Democrats and compromising and not telling people they\u2019re wrong and working together, man, that is the order of the day.  And Governor Christie and this bridge thing hanging over his head, that would be a great, great speech, launching him to who knows what kind of heights.  See, that\u2019s the point.  These are the kind of people that Governor Christie\u2019s gonna win over with the speech.  Liberal Democrat members of the media.  Is this what the Republican establishment wants?  Is Wolf Blitzer the key to the White House for the Republican Party?  I\u2019ll bet it is. <\/p>\n<p>I will bet that you\u2019ve got some people in the Republican Party establishment thinking, maybe some of you, \u2019cause, I tell you what, I\u2019ve gotten enough phone calls over the years from people who are only going to be convinced that we\u2019re turning the tables and winning if the media starts liking us and if the media starts being fair in their reporting on us, and if the media starts actually being behind us and supporting us and endorsing us.  And I bet there\u2019s some Republican establishment types, I mean, that\u2019s what the whole thing is about, really, in terms of amnesty and not really repealing Obamacare and gay marriage and all that.<\/p>\n<p>So this is precisely, I think, what the Republican establishment thinks they\u2019ve got to do.  When they start winning over people like Wolf Blitzer, that\u2019s when they think they\u2019re on the right track.  And of course on Election Day 2016 you got Hillary Clinton and Chris Christie, who do you think Wolf\u2019s gonna vote for?  That\u2019s right.  There\u2019s no question about it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Well, Bret Baier at Fox News tweeted that he\u2019s heard the same thing: Wealthy Republican donors are starting to give up on Chris Christie for 2016.
