<\/p>\nRUSH: San Diego. It\u2019s Mike. Glad that you waited. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. I\u2019ve got a big smile on my face because I\u2019ve listened to you for years and this is the first time we\u2019ve ever talked.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, welcome to the snow.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Last hour you talked about the fact that the left is doing everything they can to nail Trump, and yet his ratings still go up. And it dawned on me, why is that? And in my opinion the reason is that those of us who voted for Trump are focused on the big picture, and the big picture is saving America, make America great, saving it from going fascist, socialist, or whatever. And the left is focused on minutia like, oh, Stormy Daniels, or $130,000 so it doesn\u2019t come out. Yes, we\u2019re interested in immigration, but we want the wall. And they don\u2019t want to hear that. So, in my opinion, we\u2019re focused on the big. They\u2019re just talking about the little, and we really don\u2019t care about the little.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s it. That last part there is it. Take a look at CNN\u2019s ratings. When was it, the Trump rally that was last Wednesday night or something. Whenever it was, or some other big event, Fox News televised it live. Fox News had a larger audience than MSNBC and CNN and one other cable network combined. CNN did not cover the Trump event. They boycotted it.<\/p>\n
CNN, outside of special events, has a prime time total audience of about 700,000 people. In America, people are not watching. Trump people literally have abandoned this stuff. Trump people are not watching it. They don\u2019t care. They\u2019ve gotten past needing to be informed as to what Trump opposition is up to. MSNBC has a little bit higher audience than CNN does, but together they don\u2019t even equal the audience of Fox any time of the day, whatever day part you look at.<\/p>\n

The over-the-air broadcast networks don\u2019t cover any of this stuff live at night anyway. They\u2019re wedded to their prime time programming. But the point is that while you and I — we talk about it all day — may think that the Drive-By Media is ubiquitous out there, in Trump country they\u2019re not even watching it anymore. And when they do, they\u2019re not affected by it. These people have been singularly unable to separate Trump from his base supporters.<\/p>\n
