Let\u2019s say it is anywhere from 55 to 70 seats. Normally what they say is Republicans had a temper tantrum, the voters had a temper tantrum. What are they going to say? What will the analysis be? Will they blame Palin? Will they blame talk radio? Will they blame the Tea Party? <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125109.Par.89380.ImageFile_5791449a10257.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Well, I know, all of the above. But the difference is, let\u2019s say that, in a hypothetical sense, let\u2019s say that I wake up one day and I discover that a third of my audience is gone. Now, that\u2019s not going to happen, but if it did, the first thing I would ask myself is, &#8216;What am I doing wrong? What have I forgotten, or what am I taking for granted?\u2019 I would never blame the audience. I would never say, &#8216;Well, those people just don\u2019t realize. They don\u2019t realize how good they\u2019ve got it with me. They\u2019ll see, they\u2019ll go listen to other shows and they\u2019ll be disappointed, they\u2019ll see.\u2019 That\u2019s what the Democrats are going to do. The Democrats will blame you, blame the voters, and they\u2019ll say somehow that that all of this extremism found in the Tea Party and the Republican Party surfaced at the same time, it was a tsunami of extremism based on racism, stoked by Limbaugh and Fox News and all the others. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to be fascinating to watch because they know they\u2019re governing against the will of the people, and they\u2019re proud of it. They\u2019re happy about it. They know, ladies and gentlemen, that they are a ruling minority. You just wait. If this shellacking happens to the extent that the experts are predicting that it will, what\u2019ll happen is that they will come back in this lame duck session and they will try to ram all kinds of stuff down everybody\u2019s throat, everything in the world. They\u2019ll just say, &#8216;Okay, you reject us, fine. Try this tax increase; try this, try that,\u2019 and they\u2019ll do everything they can, scorched earth. You watch. They\u2019re probably planning that even as we speak. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I actually think they do know what\u2019s coming their way. You know they know it.
