<\/p>\nRUSH: You know what Trump said last night? Trump had another barnburner rally. Trump said if Biden is elected that they\u2019ll put him somewhere in a home and that other people will end up being in charge — and that\u2019s exactly right. I mean, it\u2019s euphemistic and symbolic, but that is exactly what will happen. Plugs has even alluded to it. He has even alluded to it. You know, it\u2019s amazing. Grab audio sound bite number 28. This is “The Loser.” This is Michael Dukakis.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That was our name for him. This program debuted August 1, 1988. That was smack-dab in the middle of the presidential candidacy that year of George H.W. Bush and Dukakis, and Dukakis was another far left-wing radical leftist for his day. He was gonna go down and lose in a major, major defeat. For a time, the polling showed he was leading George H.W. Bush. He was promising Bush was the third term of Ronald Reagan, and Dukakis went down in flames.<\/p>\n
You remember this debate? Well, you may not. The CNN debate, or it\u2019s a debate where CNN has a couple of people on the panel moderating. One of them was Bernard Shaw, and Dukakis is up there standing there looking like the arrogant, above-it-all guy. He\u2019s about Bloomberg\u2019s height. I mean, you put Bloomberg on a commercial flight, and you might know who he is because they\u2019d be seeking the parents. “Where are the parents of this unaccompanied child?” the airline people might say. At any rate, I\u2019m distracting myself.<\/p>\n
Let me get back on target. So Bernard Shaw asks Dukakis a hypothetical question. (paraphrased exchange) “Governor Dukakis, I want you to imagine that your wife, Kitty, is assaulted and raped by a sexual predator. What would you recommend? What would your reaction be? What would you think the penalty should be, the punishment?” And he dealt with that as though it was an intellectual exercise.<\/p>\n
“Well, Bernard, I think we need to be concerned with the rights of all people who are accused. The rights of the accused are something we need to be very, very concerned with in this country. So many people are falsely accused,” and nobody could believe it. You\u2019ve just been asked what would happen to the guy who raped your wife, and you\u2019re dealing with it like you\u2019re in a think tank — and then to try to overcome that and some other stuff, he went out and got in an Army tank wearing a helmet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He looked like Beetle Bailey, the cartoon character. He ended up becoming a joke. We even had musical accompaniment for imaginary Dukakis campaign meetings and so forth. Anyway, he\u2019s back. He went out to Hawaii after he lost. He was a professor, University of Hawaii, doing stuff. He goes where a bunch of leftists are, and he would admit — and he loves policy. “Oh, I love policy, Bernard. I love process. That\u2019s what we liberals do.<\/p>\n
“We carry our briefcases around, we get to the office, and we start shuffling the policy papers, the position papers. That\u2019s what we love, Bernard.” It\u2019s really great stuff. That\u2019s what we like to do. Well, they found him. Neil Cavuto found Dukakis, Fox Business Network this afternoon. I don\u2019t know where Dukakis is. I guess he\u2019s walking along the street and somebody recognizes him and asks, “Hey, would you like to be on the Fox Business Network this afternoon?” Why else would Dukakis be there?<\/p>\n
So Cavuto said, “So, what do you think of Joe Biden right now, Governor Dukakis? All these people are now coalescing around Biden as an alternative to Bernie Sanders.”<\/p>\n

DUKAKIS: I\u2019m seeing a — a very different Joe Biden, Neil, in the last four or five days. I don\u2019t know what it is about, uh, South Carolina (laughing) or what happened there, but he\u2019s, uh, more relaxed, he\u2019s funnier, uh, he\u2019s more confident, and, uh, obviously what happened yesterday, and those endorsements, uh, are very important to him. So, uh, I think we got a new Joe Biden.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Isn\u2019t it great to be a Democrat? You can be around for 40 years. You can be a plagiarist, you can be a failure, you can run for office a bunch of times and lose — and then overnight, you can become brand-new. Overnight! You can become funnier. You can become more confident. You can go out get more endorsements, and you can become more important. And you can have a bunch of your opponents quit, all because of the magic of South Carolina. (laughing) I think this is just fabulous. It\u2019s amazing to watch this, because it\u2019s now…<\/p>\n
Dukakis would be in that group that I\u2019m describing today as the Democrat establishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
