RUSH: The Drive-Bys are trying to indict Donald Trump for not caring about Puerto Rico. Salon.com: “Missing In Inaction: Why Hasn\u2019t Trump Ordered the Military to Puerto Rico?<\/a>” It\u2019s a thousand miles to get anybody there, and I don\u2019t think they can land heavy aircraft in Puerto Rico yet. But Trump is. There\u2019s all kinds of assistance heading into Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

\"\"This is another example of the Democrat Party or the American left not being able to innovate their 30-year-old playbook. Well, now it\u2019s a 40- or 50-year-old playbook. They simply go to the right page, “How do you attack a Republican president? You wait for a disaster, claim he doesn\u2019t care. You wait for a disaster, claim he\u2019s a racist. You wait for a disaster, claim he doesn\u2019t care about the poor. You wait for a disaster, claim he has no compassion for anybody because he\u2019s a pig.”<\/p>\n

Whatever it is, and they\u2019re trying to revive it. I don\u2019t know. There are times, folks, I actually think that this stuff is burning out, it isn\u2019t working. And I will admit that there\u2019s a lot of hope in that. But honestly I look at the status — the media has thrown everything they\u2019ve got. They\u2019ve thrown things at Trump that they have not thrown at other people, Republicans, and none of it — well, I say none of it\u2019s worked. I\u2019m sure that it has contributed to an ongoing image problem that Trump has among people that didn\u2019t vote for him.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not stopping him, is the point. It\u2019s not slowing Trump down. Trump is not affected by it, other than personally, and we don\u2019t know about that. But in terms of Trump getting up every day, going to work and moving forward on his agenda, it\u2019s not causing a stoppage at all. And that\u2019s what they\u2019re really after. And to the extent that they\u2019re trying to damage Trump\u2019s image, you know, that\u2019s for future elections where they hope to elect Democrats.<\/p>\n

Look at this. Politico. This is also a retread. “Puerto Rican Devastation Could Mean More Florida Voters”<\/a> Now, how is that? “As Puerto Rico slips deeper into what many call a humanitarian crisis following Hurricane Maria, the island is primed for a mass exodus of what could be 1 million people — a sizable number of whom are expected to settle in Florida, the nation\u2019s biggest swing state.<\/p>\n

“That could well prove to be a boon to Democrats in a state which the past four top-of-the-ticket races have been decided by about a percentage point. ‘It\u2019s going to mean a lot more people voting Democrat in Florida,\u2019 Marco Rigau, president of the San Juan municipal assembly.” San Juan is mostly Democrats I guess they\u2019re assuming.<\/p>\n

\"\"The way the left looks at a tragedy is the real point. How is the left looking at this tragedy? How can this tragedy help the Democrat Party? You want to talk about cold. You want to talk about calculating. So we have an admitted humanitarian crisis. And here\u2019s Politico calculating how it can help the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n

“Pelosi to Puerto Rico Native: ‘You Came to America<\/a>.\u2019 — House Democrats met to discuss the ongoing Puerto Rico crisis caused Hurricane Maria, and Pelosi contradicted herself when it was her turn to speak.”<\/p>\n

She turned to Nydia Velazquez, who is Puerto Rican, she took the podium after Velazquez. “Pelosi then claimed that Velazquez ‘came to America\u2019 when she moved from Puerto Rico to New York. ‘You were born and raised there and came to America to be a stark figure here,'” is what she said. “You became one of the first women to chair an entire committee in the Congress of the United States.” Pelosi said, “You came to America. You came to America.” These people, their worldview is distorted. It is perverted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
