<\/p>\nRUSH: Now, Plugs Biden, I\u2019ve had so many people ask me today, \u201cWhy did the media ignore Plugs today?\u201d I mean, yesterday that\u2019s all that mattered. Joe Biden was gonna eviscerate Trump. Joe was gonna mention Trump\u2019s name 75 times. Joe Biden was gonna destroy Trump.<\/p>\n
So why isn\u2019t there any video highlights of that happening yesterday? And the answer to it is, it didn\u2019t happen, see? The proof of the matter is the optics for Joe Bite Me in Ottumwa, Iowa, yesterday were not good. It did matter that Bite Me was not wearing even a jacket much less a tie. It mattered that there wasn\u2019t a single shot that showed the whole crowd. Therefore, the crowd had to be very small. The crowd looked very close to Biden.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I mean, it looked like he was at a cocktail party. That\u2019s what this looked like. The people were that close. He\u2019s holding the microphone in his hand. There was no podium. There was no oratory whatsoever. It was a conversational thing.<\/p>\n
And he looked feeble, if you want to get right down to it. He looked a little feeble. And it looked to me like that there might have even been a railing that he was holding onto now and then during his performance.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s another factor here, and this we thank our old buddies at CNN. CNN spent all morning yesterday assuring everybody that Biden was gonna eviscerate Trump. Biden was gonna destroy Trump. When Biden finished, it was gonna be the end of Trump.<\/p>\n
And Biden did not eviscerate Trump. In other words, CNN raised expectations so high that Plugs had no way of meeting them. And so they pretty much had to ignore it. Now, for those of you saying, “Well, wait a minute, Rush. You know, Hillary Clinton couldn\u2019t stand up half the time. She couldn\u2019t get on a bus half the time. She couldn\u2019t go down the steps half the time, and they still propped her up.”<\/p>\n
Yes. What does that tell you? It tells you the media doesn\u2019t even really want Plugs. They\u2019re offering no assistance to Joe Biden today. If Hillary Clinton had done what Biden did yesterday back in 2016, there would be nothing but glowing support for Hillary Clinton today.<\/p>\n
They would have ignored the lowlights, they would have lied about the highlights, they would have followed through and said that she did eviscerate Trump. They would have hidden any video that made her look weak or unsure on her feet. They would have hidden any video that made her stumbling across words.<\/p>\n
They didn\u2019t do any of that with Biden. And it tells me that Plugs is not really their guy. I\u2019m just giving you a heads-up here that Plugs isn\u2019t gonna last. And this thing yesterday is what tells me this. And it wasn\u2019t just CNN.<\/p>\n
All kinds of media were really hyping Biden in Iowa yesterday, and the point that he was gonna “eviscerate” Trump. (impression) “He was gonna destroy Trump. He was gonna do what Mueller couldn\u2019t do. He was gonna do what Nadler failed to do. He was gonna do what John Dean didn\u2019t do! He was gonna take Trump out yesterday,” and if you look at Trump today, Trump is on Cloud Nine. He\u2019s comfortable; he\u2019s calm, cool, relaxed — and we can\u2019t find Plugs anywhere. Plugs is gone, and now we got Crazy Bernie making the pitch for Democrat socialism today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So I think… It\u2019ll never be announced. You\u2019re just gonna have to see it. I think the media, because of yesterday, is gonna start backing away from Plugs, backing away from Biden. Yesterday, he didn\u2019t get there. He didn\u2019t meet the expectations. He didn\u2019t “eviscerate” Trump. He didn\u2019t even raise his voice. He didn\u2019t get all that passionate about it. This is not what people want. If you\u2019re gonna “eviscerate” Trump, you better do it.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re gonna criticize Trump, you\u2019d better do it. If you\u2019re gonna mention Trump 75 times, you better make every one of those 75 times memorable and sound-bite worthy — and Trump was not even touched by Plugs yesterday, and the Drive-Bys know it. And, you know, you go to CNN earlier today. Alisyn Camerota hosts a morning show there. (She used to be on Fox.) She said to her colleagues there on camera, “You know, socialists need to rebrand.”<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t say “we,” although she could have. She said, “Socialists need to rebrand because socialism does conjure Orwellian thoughts.” I can\u2019t imagine why that would be true! Socialism conjuring up thoughts of George Orwell, 1984? How could anybody assume that? So she\u2019s admitting that socialism is Orwellian (which ain\u2019t good) and that they need to come up with a new name for it. So what\u2019s happening? Crazy Bernie is out rebranding it today.<\/p>\n
Gone is socialism and in is “Democratic-socialism,” complete with attacks on (Bernie accent) “authoritarians and the oligarchs.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
