You\u2019re up. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, greetings. I was thinking that Mitt Romney\u2019s problem, both when he ran before and now is that he fails to excite the base. And I was intrigued that when he had his famous $10,000 bet, I thought he was having an almost Reagan &#8220;this is my microphone&#8221; moment when he was calling out Rick Perry and saying, listen, in so many words, put up or shut up. You\u2019ve been saying this and it\u2019s wrong, and that was, I thought, rather dramatic. Lo and behold, <\/line><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_57119\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ROmneyPerryBet.jpg\"\/><BR\/>the response immediately and thereafter has been, wait a minute, the guy\u2019s making $10,000 bets, he\u2019s totally out of touch. He\u2019s this, he\u2019s that. I\u2019m thinking, we all knew he was rich. So I don\u2019t get it. Looks to me like he can\u2019t win.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, here\u2019s the take on the bet. Mitt Romney has, what, millions of dollars. A $10,000 bet is not exactly putting anything on the line for him. He shoulda bet his house. If he really wanted to make an impact, if he\u2019s serious, you\u2019ve gotta bet something commensurate with what you\u2019ve got to lose. And Mitt Romney losing $10,000, you know, even though he doesn\u2019t drink wine, you could do that at lunch if you invite enough people and go to the right place. Also, I think he meant it as hyperbole. I really don\u2019t even think he meant to do the bet, but it was not taken that way. I think what\u2019s happening here is that nothing used to rattle Romney and now it looks like little things here and little things there are beginning to rattle him a little bit. And the media is getting on him \u2019cause the bet was so big. &#8220;Come on, who can bet ten grand? Romney, you\u2019re so out of touch, ten grand, you\u2019re really showing them how out of touch you are. Ten grand, you shoulda bet him a hundred bucks. Other average people could relate to that.&#8221; My theory is he should have bet one of his houses or shave his head or something like that. Something that would really be a loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Chuck in Newnan, Georgia. You\u2019re up. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Well, greetings.
