\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Bernie Sanders is starting to figure out that the Democrat National Committee and the Hillary campaign have stacked the deck against him, that it\u2019s really, really rigged. In Bernie\u2019s case, he is exactly right. <\/p>\n

Now, Bernie should have known this from the first day he got into the race. Bernie should have known it was gonna be rigged before he got into the race. And he may well have. But it\u2019s now getting to be ridiculous. He keeps winning. He keeps outraising her. And she keeps piling up all the delegates. <\/p>\n

<\/a>And I\u2019m gonna tell you, on the Democrat side, folks, you don\u2019t hear as much about it because the media is not disposed to exposing snafus and discord within the Democrat Party. But I\u2019m telling you, they have their own equivalent of anti-establishment voters, and it\u2019s a large number of people, and they are just as opposed to the Democrat establishment as Republican voters who are opposed to it on the Republican side. Different reasons. Some of them overlap. <\/p>\n

The primary reason, for example, that Bernie\u2019s people are upset with the establishment is they think the establishment is too corporate. And they\u2019re exactly right, by the way. I mean, even though they\u2019re fringe lunatics, they hate corporate. They despise everything about Western civilization. They despise everything about the founding of this country. And the Democrat Party, they don\u2019t think, is radical left enough, that Hillary has become corporatized and moderate, as opposed to liberal. <\/p>\n

They think Hillary\u2019s into it for herself, for her and her family\u2019s financial enhancement and so forth. And there are just as many of them. And they don\u2019t tell you much about Hillary\u2019s disapproval. Hillary Clinton\u2019s negative numbers are almost as high as Cruz\u2019s and Trump\u2019s, almost to the point of canceling it all out. And then the polls vary from time to time, state to state, and even poll to poll. But the latest series of polls show that Cruz and\/or Trump would beat Hillary, and that\u2019s relatively new. So there is a lot of panic on the Democrat side. You just don\u2019t see it. It doesn\u2019t fit any narrative. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a narrative in media of Democrats in trouble. That narrative only happens after they lose elections, and it lasts for a couple of weeks, and then they\u2019re back to normal. I mentioned earlier in the week — I didn\u2019t get a chance to get to it — I don\u2019t know if I saved it in this Stack or not. But the Huffing and Puffington Post — yes. Here it is my friends. “The Democrats Are Flawlessly Executing a 10-Point Plan to Lose the 2016 Presidential Election.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, correct me if I\u2019m wrong, but I would assume that the vast majority of you in this audience are of the opinion that the Democrats never have doubts, that they\u2019re always confident, largely because they have the media on their side, largely because what they believe is never challenged, it\u2019s never criticized, it\u2019s never ripped to shreds, as everything the Republicans stand for is. <\/p>\n

So your impression of them is that they\u2019re unified and that their primary enemy is us, and that that\u2019s what unifies them. And, as such, at the moment of truth they will all come together and that they are confident and unstoppable. And it\u2019s not the case. And this piece in the Huffing and Puffington Post illustrates it quite well. It\u2019s by somebody named Seth Abramson. “The Democrats Are Flawlessly Executing a 10-Point Plan to Lose the 2016 Presidential Election.”<\/p>\n

Point number one. These are the mistakes, the assumptions that they are making that are all wrong. They are “assuming that Donald Trump will be the Republicans\u00c2\u2019 2016 nominee, though it\u00c2\u2019s now clear he won\u00c2\u2019t be.” Let me analyze each of these as we go. This guy, Seth Abramson, whoever he is, thinks that the Democrats are operating on a whole bunch of conventional wisdom theories that are dead wrong, and one of them is that Trump\u2019s gonna be the nominee. <\/p>\n

This guy doesn\u2019t think he\u2019s going to be and it\u2019s gonna end up being Cruz or somebody else that the Democrats are not prepared for and are not gonna know how to beat, that they\u2019re making a mistake of gearing up for one guy and thinking they\u2019ve got the way to beat Trump in the can, in the bag, it\u2019s over, and they\u2019re not worried about anybody else, and he thinks they should be. <\/p>\n

Number two. The Democrats are going to “nominate the only person who can reunite the Republican Party once Trump failing to get the nomination has fractured it beyond repair.” So this guy thinks that Trump not getting the nomination is gonna blow the Republican Party up sky-high to the point that it\u2019s going to be in tatters. But then the Democrats are gonna come along and unify everybody on the Republican side by nominating Hillary. <\/p>\n

I hope that he\u2019s half right on this. It has been my hope all along that whatever happens on our side, that when it\u2019s all over, everybody does focus on the real opponent here, and that\u2019s Hillary and what she represents, the third term of Barack Obama, the continuation of the transformation of America into a country it was not founded to be, which means the continuing destruction, the cultural rot, the cultural decay, the attack on religious people, primarily Christians. It\u2019s gonna ratchet up; it\u2019s going to continue. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Hillary Clinton has promised to raise taxes a trillion dollars. Stop and think a minute. The federal government is en route to collecting $3 trillion in taxes this year. Already $1.46 trillion has been collected<\/a>. Now, ask yourself, how is that possible when we have 94 million Americans not working? How is it possible for almost record tax revenue to be collected? <\/p>\n

It means people are getting soaked, folks. It means Obamacare and any number of other things, all the hidden fees and the excise taxes and who knows what. The idea that the middle class isn\u2019t paying any taxes is obviously blown to smithereens here, 94 million Americans not working. The unemployment rate is really more like 11 to 15%. And they\u2019re still collecting record tax revenues. And even at that, we are going to run a deficit of nearly half a trillion dollars this year. Stop and think. Three trillion. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s more than people can understand. It\u2019s more than you can contemplate. It\u2019s more than you can analogize in ways that would make sense to you. The number three is confusing; it\u2019s a small number. Trillion. Billion is a thousand million. It\u2019s incomprehensible. And yet it isn\u2019t enough. And in the middle of all this Hillary Clinton has come out and promised to raise taxes by a trillion dollars more. They never have enough. No matter what. Because at some point it is long ceased to be about raising money. <\/p>\n

Taxation is not about raising revenue to run the government efficiently and properly. It\u2019s about social architecture. The tax code is how liberal Democrats punish achievers. It is how they use the tax code to dissuade a lot of people from wanting to be achievers. It is a subtle way that liberal Democrats impugn the whole idea of success, which they do constantly. <\/line>You look at the Democrat Party enemies list, it\u2019s rich this or rich that. Rich corporation here, rich industry there, rich individual there, whoever, that\u2019s their enemy. But on top of record tax revenue being collected, Hillary wants to add a trillion dollars to it. <\/line><\/p>\n

Number three on this guy\u2019s list of 10 mistakes the Democrats are making. Democrats are on the way to “Fracture the Democratic Party by broadly supporting the Clinton camp\u00c2\u2019s attempts to smear Bernie Sanders and his supporters.”<\/p>\n

Number four. The Democrats are en route to losing the 2016 presidential race by “fatally underestimate the electoral chances of the two men now most likely to be the Republican presidential nominee in November: Ted Cruz and John Kasich.”<\/p>\n

And again, whoever\u2019s writing this is named Seth Abramson. <\/p>\n

Number five. Democrats are going to screw it up by “failing to nominate their most popular candidate,” Bernie Sanders. Number six, they\u2019re going to “freeze Bernie Sanders out of the picture altogether.” This guy is totally into Sanders, and he is convinced the Democrats have written a plan guaranteed to lose by acing him out. Number eight. Democrats are gonna lose by “doing nothing whatsoever to address outstanding concerns about the character, integrity, and judgment of the Party\u00c2\u2019s front-runner.”<\/p>\n

In other words, this guy is saying the Democrats are making a huge mistake because they have a flawed human being as their front-runner. She has no integrity. She has a dubious, questionable character, and her judgment stinks. In other words, the Democrats are choosing her just \u2019cause she\u2019s next in line, her name is Clinton, and for some reason we owe her. And he thinks it\u2019s a death wish. <\/p>\n

“In short, Hillary Clinton appears to blame everyone but herself for the lack of trust the American people have in her. That\u00c2\u2019s a bad look for any politician, both because it ignores the concerns of voters and, moreover, suggests a candidate incapable of personal and political growth. There are many things the Clinton camp could be doing now to rehabilitate her image for the general election, and they\u00c2\u2019re doing absolutely none of them.”<\/p>\n

Number nine. The Democrats are “overly relying on the national media to set the political narrative for the campaign season, further alienating voters who want to vote for a candidate with vision.” That\u2019s Bernie Sanders. And number 10. They\u2019re ignoring the youth vote. <\/p>\n

So my point in all this is that there is all kinds of friction, all kinds of upset and dissatisfaction on the Democrat side that you\u2019re not hearing about. And a lot of people on that side are afraid it\u2019s gonna manifest itself at the worst possible time. <\/p>\n

Now, here\u2019s Bernie Sanders this morning in Brooklyn. A bunch of union people, a bunch of people are picketing outside a Verizon office in Brooklyn. Bernie showed up.<\/line><\/p>\n

SANDERS: They want to take away the health benefits that you have earned. (edited boos) They want to outsource decent paying jobs. (edited boos) They want to give the CEO $20 million a year (edited boos start) in compensation. They want to evade paying federal income taxes. (edited boos start) This is just another major American corporation trying to destroy the lives of working Americans<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hear that? That\u2019s absolute insanity. “Here we have another major American corporation trying to destroy the lives of working Americans.” There\u2019s a way to translate that. What Bernie Sanders is alleging here is that Verizon is trying to destroy the lives of their customers. And how much sense does that make? But that\u2019s what they tell you. Big Oil, Big Pharma, are trying to destroy working Americans. Big Auto. That\u2019s right. They want to destroy every customer. They want to cream, they want to obliterate, they want to damage every potential buyer of their product. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, what\u2019s actually interesting is that the Bernie Sanders voters, they\u2019re ticked off, they\u2019re ticked off at the failures of liberalism. They don\u2019t know it, but that\u2019s what\u2019s got them upset. They have all this student loan debt; there wasn\u2019t supposed to be any. They\u2019ve got all these health care expenses; it was supposed to be free, and everybody was supposed to have it. There\u2019s all this racial strife out there. That was supposed to be ended seven years ago when Obama got elected. America was supposed to be loved and adored. There weren\u2019t supposed to be anymore wars anywhere. The military was to have been neutered. None of it\u2019s happened. <\/p>\n

The abject in-your-face failures of what they believe in is what\u2019s got them ticked off. They just don\u2019t think of it that way. Liberalism, in their minds, does not fail. It just isn\u2019t implemented properly, usually because it\u2019s short of funding or some such insanity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
