I think that Trump\u2019s election win was more powerful than Obama\u2019s, and I think that\u2019s threatening to the Democrats and it scares them. I\u2019ve gone back to YouTube and watched all 10 hours of CNN\u2019s election night coverage at least a dozen times. The emotions and joy that that brings me, that was such a powerful moment, and I was so happy for America that we said, &#8220;No, we need to turn this ship around.&#8221; I think the power of those emotions that compel me and others to almost &#8212; I hate to say it &#8212; obsessively relive that night cannot be synthesized, cannot be faked, cannot be manufactured. I think that scares them, and I don\u2019t think it existed to that level when Obama was elected.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, you know what? There\u2019s a lot to what you say. The Obama election was said to be historic, and it was. But it wasn\u2019t earth-shattering. It wasn\u2019t heart-stopping like Trump\u2019s was. No, you\u2019re right. You\u2019re right about that. So much so&#8230; I mean, we had no trouble dealing with Obama. Policy-wise was our objection to Obama. But his election was not something we had to &#8220;get over&#8221; in that sense. Nobody tried to unwind it. They simply cannot accept this. No, that\u2019s a good characterization. Bingo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: We had no trouble dealing with Obama. Policy-wise was our objection to Obama.
