I didn\u2019t.&nbsp; I mean, I didn\u2019t see the full measure of impact, and I don\u2019t think too many people did, either.&nbsp; That\u2019s why there\u2019s so much shock and surprise over what has happened.&nbsp; Now, I mentioned earlier that I\u2019m getting nervous, and we\u2019ve even got a guy on the phone who thinks I sound angry.<\/p>\n<p>Is that what he said, Mr. Snerdley?

Trump won!&nbsp; Why in the world should we, after victory, say, &#8220;Okay, we\u2019ll leave it and we\u2019ll let you guys come in and participate in the meetings that we\u2019re gonna have to save it&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not how things would work if we lost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_130411\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/GOPTRAP.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">It is a trap.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>There is disunity because the left views this as constant, never-ending war.&nbsp; We have tried. Our party, members of our party have tried to appease the Democrats and the left for as long as I have been doing this, and it never, ever works.&nbsp; It never makes the media less mean. It never causes Democrats to say they love us and like us more.&nbsp; Not that that matters, but it seems that some people want that to be the case.&nbsp; It never changes anything.&nbsp; But let\u2019s looking at this as it actually was, as it actually happened.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All of this, I want you to keep in mind under the umbrella of &#8220;we should now unify.&#8221;&nbsp; Obama claimed that his legacy was on the ballot, claimed his policies and their being continued was on the ballot.&nbsp; His legacy. Hillary Clinton was charged with making sure the Obama legacy lived on.&nbsp; Obama himself put his legacy, his agenda, his entire administration on the ballot.&nbsp; Barack Obama campaigned saying, &#8220;Save my agenda.&nbsp; Save my legacy.&#8221;&nbsp; What happened?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was totally repudiated.&nbsp; It was sent packing.&nbsp; The people of this country told the Obama agenda to take a hike.&nbsp; Barack Obama &#8212; and it\u2019s certainly not politically correct to say this. Barack Obama has really damaged the Democrat Party, folks.&nbsp; If you look at all of the Democrat defeats starting in the 2010 midterms, and you add the number of seats they lost 2014, we\u2019re up to about 1400 to 1600 electoral seats the Democrats have lost!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so bad that Democrats in California won to secede from the nation &#8212; and many people are saying, &#8220;Let them.&#8221;&nbsp; These are the people demanding to sue for unity?&nbsp; They ought to be mad.&nbsp; They are mad.&nbsp; Their anger needs to be placed where it should be, and that\u2019s on the shoulders of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, because those two people have single-handedly seen to it that the Democrat Party is its weakest since the 1920s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s astounding what happened. &nbsp;Governorships, Senate seats, House seats, mayors, city council, it\u2019s incredible the number of seats Democrats have lost.&nbsp; And once again, as it was in 2010 and 2014, the Republicans are beneficiaries of what has taken place here, but you might come up short in calling them actual winners because it was Donald Trump that secured the victory on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_130412\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/RushTeaPartyElection2010.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">It was the Tea Party and the conservative movement in 2010 and 2014 in those midterm elections.&nbsp; The Republicans didn\u2019t actually present an agenda; they represented the opposition.&nbsp; They represented the alternative choice.&nbsp; The Democrat Party has been rejected by whoever showed up to vote.&nbsp; You can talk about low turnout, I don\u2019t care, but among those who showed up to vote &#8212; and Colin Kaepernick was not one of them &#8212; the Democrat Party has suffered defeat after defeat after defeat.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump has seen to this massive shift in power that nobody saw, nobody thought possible on our side.&nbsp; To me, Donald Trump shows what has been possible all along for the Republican Party.&nbsp; We could have won in 2008.&nbsp; In fact, the numbers have been run.&nbsp; We could have won.&nbsp; Trump, with the support that he got Tuesday, would have beaten Barack Obama in 2012.&nbsp; None of this had to happen.&nbsp; But too many of our people on our side thought it was unavoidable.&nbsp; Well, we had too much history against us. We had an African-American, the first, guy that spoke well, was intelligent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But we didn\u2019t oppose.&nbsp; We were afraid to oppose for a whole host of reasons that we have been through and named so there\u2019s no need to repeat them.&nbsp; The history is what\u2019s important.&nbsp; Had we opposed the Democrat agenda, we could have beaten it, as did happen this past Tuesday.&nbsp; We have not lost our country.&nbsp; We are the majority of the country, or very close to it.&nbsp; Since Obama became president, since the Democrats got on board his aggressively Big Government agenda, the Democrat Party has been routed across the country in both houses of Congress, in state and local governments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When Obama\u2019s policies are on the ballot, without him, the Democrats get shellacked.&nbsp; When he\u2019s on the ballot with his policies, they win.&nbsp; So therefore it\u2019s not his policies; it\u2019s him and whatever he means to voters.&nbsp; And I think it\u2019s simply that people are afraid to vote against him for fear that somebody might find out they voted against him and for fear that they think that will say to other people.&nbsp; I think it\u2019s dominated by his race.&nbsp; There are other factors as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/442047\/heres-one-thing-i-got-really-wrong\">David French at National Review<\/a>.&nbsp; One of the Never Trumpers who thought that this was the opposite of what was gonna happen, who believed that we were headed for a defeat that was actually gonna destroy the Republican Party.&nbsp; Do you realize how many Never Trumpers, how many mainstream Republicans really thought this election would be the end of the Republican Party and it was gonna have to be reconstituted and rebuilt, and there may be some of that anyway, by the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But Mr. French at National Review wrote that he had no idea the Democrat Party had so thoroughly alienated its own voters.&nbsp; Hillary Clinton will likely end up with almost 10 million fewer votes than Obama got in 2008. And what nobody the Drive-Bys wants to talk about today: Bernie Sanders.&nbsp; The Democrat Party voter read WikiLeaks.&nbsp; The Democrat Party voter knows Hillary Clinton rigged that game with the DNC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Remember how fit to be tied we were in 2012 when we found out four million people didn\u2019t vote for Mitt Romney for whatever reason?&nbsp; Try six million Democrats didn\u2019t vote Tuesday for Hillary.&nbsp; Two words: Bernie Sanders.&nbsp; The Democrat Party knew, enough people in that party knew how they had rigged the game and they were lying.&nbsp; They were being just as disingenuous with their own party as they were being with us.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I\u2019m getting nervous.&nbsp;
