The reason: They want somebody other than Pelosi. A, they want somebody younger. B, they want somebody much less incendiary and provocative, although that\u2019s gonna be hard to find because that\u2019s what your average Democrat today is. Your average Democrat today is a bomb thrower who is incapable of happiness, incapable of joy, they are perpetually angry because there\u2019s always a victim out there being exploited by somebody, usually an American, and it\u2019s gotta be stopped. They are their own worst enemy.<\/p>\n
The second thing that\u2019s happening that the media really is avoiding — I\u2019ve seen one story on it twice. For all the people protesting out there for Trump or against Trump — those are people bought and paid for — there are Democrats at the New York office of Chuck Schumer, and they are protesting Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is going to be the new Harry Reid. He\u2019s gonna be the new leader of the Democrats in the Senate, and there are a bunch of Bernie Sanders voters who are fit to be tied.<\/p>\n
They realize how the whole DNC and the Hillary Clinton organization stacked the deck against them and rigged that primary election, and they have late, but they finally arrived at the inescapable conclusion that Hillary and the DNC are inexorably linked to the people they hate: Wall Street. The far left wing of the Democrat Party thinks that Chuck Schumer is linked to Wall Street and big banks, which he is because he\u2019s from New York. Those are the people that donate. Those are the people that underwrite campaigns. Chuck Schumer is indebted to investment banks, big banks, Wall Street banks, investment houses, hedge funds, and they don\u2019t like it, and they want somebody beside Schumer.<\/p>\n
So for all of the talk, all the protesting about Trump or against Trump, the Democrats are getting a taste of it, too. The media tries to paint a picture in the aftermath of this election that the only anger out there is at Trump. We have, essentially, a huge, huge Donald Trump win, when you measure what the expectations were, when you measure what all the predictions were and all the polling data. I\u2019m told that people in the Hillary Clinton campaign, as late as nine p.m. on election night, thought they were coasting to a landslide victory because they believed all of their sacred pollsters.<\/p>\n
So, anyway, the Democrats thought it was in the bag as recently and as late as nine p.m. And of course when you measure this against expectations — and, by the way, not just polling data, but just take behavior of the Democrats, the arrogant condescension, the conceit with which they were running around here the past six months, that the election was a mere formality, that Hillary was gonna be coronated, it was all over but the shouting, and especially as all the October Surprises and dirt about Trump popped up, why, it was not even gonna be a contest, people hated Trump.<\/p>\n This is why they\u2019re out there in growing numbers. It\u2019s to give the media the opportunity to present a picture that says to people the entire country is angry over this. You are supposed to once again be dispirited, depressed, you are to think that this victory was an aberration and somehow not real. They focus on the popular vote, and you\u2019re supposed to think you are still in the minority, that you are still fading away into nothing and Democrats still run the show and the proof is all the anger out there at Trump, outside Trump Tower, in all of these big cities, and I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s just like it was during the campaign, it\u2019s an illusion.<\/p>\n They have lost practically everything, folks, and there are people protesting them. Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, nobody crying any tears over Dingy Harry going out now, and building homes on his crazy land deals that he made when he was Senator in Nevada. It\u2019s just a total, total embarrassing repudiation of the Democrat Party and their ideology.<\/p>\n But they don\u2019t quit, and the media\u2019s doing everything they can to make it look like that\u2019s the opposite of what happened, that this is somehow some quirk and that the majority of thinking in this country\u2019s outraged and angry and Trump will not be allowed to finish his term, whatever it takes, we\u2019re gonna get Trump, the American people didn\u2019t vote for this, and they did in overwhelming numbers and ways. So, protesting Chuck Schumer, delaying the vote so that Pelosi doesn\u2019t become the leader again in the House. They are in dire straits on the Democrat side, and they must be kept there, folks.<\/p>\n Now, the House Republicans, I\u2019ve had it noted to me in some emails, “Man, these guys are really excited, Rush, it was great to see. They\u2019re all wearing Trump Make America Great Again caps, and they\u2019re out there just as enthusiastic as I\u2019ve ever seen \u2019em.” And they are. They really are. But they, too, didn\u2019t expect any of this. You understand, don\u2019t you, that all of the Washington establishment, both parties, thought that this was going to be a de facto Clinton win, that it wasn\u2019t even a contest, that it was gonna be another humiliating defeat for Trump, and, by extension, the Republicans. And the Republicans thought that they were going to be maybe decimated and nonexistent as a party.<\/p>\n And do not doubt me: They thought that last Wednesday the election results would have essentially disbanded and blown up the Republican Party, and it was going to be put back together from scratch, and that\u2019s what they were all aiming for. Everybody was jockeying for position to be in positions of power when the Republican Party was put back together. And again, from that standpoint and that perspective, an earthquake hit, the exact opposite of what every expert thought and predicted.<\/p>\n When you got a great stage show going, nobody wants to be in the audience, folks. Everybody wants to be on the stage. And that\u2019s where we are right now. So the Republican leadership wants everybody to think they played a significant role in this, and even when it\u2019s obvious some one individual didn\u2019t, those people still want it thought that they are fully and totally on board. Plus somebody else did it. Trump did it.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to get behind the guy that did it. It\u2019s much easier to follow the guy that did it than to be carrying the spears and go out there and take the arrows yourself, which is what they didn\u2019t much have a stomach for, given the way the media\u2019s treated them. But now, now it\u2019s an entirely different thing. You\u2019ve got Trump out there who is gonna be taking all the arrows, Trump\u2019s gonna be taking all the attacks, and they\u2019ve a little bit of insulation, but even at that — I don\u2019t mean to be critical. Just trying to explain psychology here. But we haven\u2019t won anything yet. That\u2019s the thing to keep in mind. We won an election, but that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: Now, the two things that are being underreported, first, the House leadership election vote, they wanted to delay it because they don\u2019t want Pelosi.
