The most encouraging news for Cruz is that the poll finds 30% of Republicans remain undecided. Late deciding voters have broken against Trump in almost every state that has voted so far.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, 31 to 19, that\u2019s a 12-point split. Factor the margin of error in there three to four percent so you\u2019re looking at seven- or eight-point spread here. &#8220;If enough of these voters and Rubio supporters back Cruz, he could pull off an upset and capture all of Arizona\u2019s 58 delegates.&#8221; There are 58 delegates at stake here. That\u2019d be a big hall. Now,<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_119818\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CRUZ_large.jpg\" align=\"right\" \/><br \/>\n&#8220;Trump is favored to win Tuesday\u2019s primary not only because of his polling advantage, but also because he has the backing of former governor Jan Brewer.&#8221; The former governor is popular. Of course, immigration\u2019s a huge issue in Arizona, and Trump is personally identified with that issue. But it says here (it\u2019s a Weekly Standard story) that &#8220;Trump may have hurt himself among these voters by announcing that he was &#8216;softening\u2019 his position on immigration in a recent debate and showing himself to be ignorant about the details of his own immigration plan in an earlier debate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, you have to read that, or listen, take it with a grain of salt because that\u2019s from the Weekly Standard which is William Kristol\u2019s magazine. And the New York Times had a big, huge story yesterday: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/03\/20\/us\/politics\/donald-trump-republican-party.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Republican Leaders Map Strategy to Derail Donald Trump<\/a>.&#8221; One of the Republican leaders heavily involved is William Kristol of the Weekly Standard. In addition to that, we have Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee who said, &#8220;I cannot 100% guarantee that one of the three remaining candidates will be the nominee.&#8221; He was asked about a contested convention.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, probably not. You know, people like to talk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And then he was hit with the bolt out of the sky. &#8220;Well, can you guarantee the nominee is gonna be one of the three? Trump, Cruz, Kasich?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well&#8230;&#8221; He started hedging his bets. &#8220;Well, I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t think I would 100% guarantee that, no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And if you read this New York Times piece on Sunday, you\u2019d understand why. &#8220;Republican leaders adamantly opposed to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2016\/us\/elections\/donald-trump-on-the-issues.html?inline=nyt-per\">Donald J. Trump<\/a>\u00c2\u2019s candidacy are preparing a 100-day campaign to deny him the presidential nomination, starting with an aggressive battle in Wisconsin\u00c2\u2019s April 5 primary and extending into the summer, with a delegate-by-delegate lobbying effort that would cast Mr. Trump as a calamitous choice for the general election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the lede. The story goes on from there.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Where was the GOP\u2019s 100-day plan to take out Obama? Anybody remember that plan? Where\u2019s the GOP\u2019s 100 day-plan to take out Hillary Clinton? Anybody heard of that plan? Now, that plan doesn\u2019t exist, either, but they\u2019ve got a 100-day plan to take out Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Now, folks, I\u2019m not particularly eager to be repetitive here because there\u2019s so much new every day, but I want to go back, I\u2019ve spent a couple days here trying to make the case with analogies and everything at my disposal to try to illustrate and inform just precisely how the Republican establishment is not going to sit by and let somebody take away from them what they have.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just their power. I mean, that\u2019s a large element of it. But it\u2019s their entire reason for existing. Positions of standing in one of the only two major political parties in the country, there\u2019s so much tied to it. Five of the seven wealthiest counties surround Washington, DC. The networking there, the contacts, the power structure, the ladder of success that you climb there, it\u2019s well laid out. It\u2019s perfectly structured.<\/p>\n<p>It is a very exclusionary club, and it is not merit based. Entry into the club is not something you can just apply for and become a member. It requires breeding. It requires certain pedigrees and resumes and education and so forth. It has provided a lot of power, a tremendous amount of wealth, huge self-esteem. These are people that walk around feeling really big about themselves. There\u2019s a lot of swagger.<\/p>\n<p>People walk around, they feel very happy with themselves, very powerful, very smug, very confident, because the future is laid out, the structure is what it is. And members are taken care of. Everybody\u2019s got everybody\u2019s back. And the idea that something like this could be busted up with an election? Sorry. Not gonna tolerate it. Not gonna even give that a chance. They\u2019re going to resist whatever effort is made to wrest power from them, to assume their positions or what have you, which is how they see Trump.<\/p>\n<p>So, despite all the talk that you hear &#8212; and I think it\u2019s smoke screen talk &#8212; from this establishment member or that particular Republican or that consultant or that lobbyist or whatever, despite talk of unity and coming together, believe me, behind the scenes there is none of that. Behind the scenes all there is is scheming that is designed to protect what they\u2019ve got. That\u2019s more important than the party winning elections. Do not doubt me.<\/p>\n<p>So when I saw this New York Times story headlined: &#8220;Republican Leaders Map a Strategy to Derail Donald Trump,&#8221; I believe every word of it. I think there\u2019s probably even more to it than what the story includes. But here are some highlights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recognizing that Mr. Trump has seized a formidable advantage in the race, they say that an effort to block him would rely on an array of desperation measures, the political equivalent of guerrilla fighting. There is no longer room for error or delay, the anti-Trump forces say, and without a flawlessly executed plan of attack, he could well become unstoppable,&#8221; and that is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But should that effort falter,&#8221; should they fail to stop Trump, and his army of supporters, should that falter, &#8220;leading conservatives are prepared to field an independent candidate in the general election, to defend Republican principles and offer traditional conservatives an alternative to Mr. Trump\u00c2\u2019s hard-edged populism. They described their plans in interviews after Mr. Trump\u00c2\u2019s victories last Tuesday in Florida and three other states.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, if your reaction is, &#8220;Well, wait a minute, that guarantees Hillary.&#8221; Exactly. And they know it, and they\u2019re fine with it. Hillary Clinton winning maintains the existing order. The existing order is not based on winning elections. If it were, half the people in this club would have been thrown out by now. Half the people in this club are the reason Republicans don\u2019t win elections, and they\u2019re still there, and they\u2019re still members in good standing of this power structure, whatever name you want to give it.<\/p>\n<p>By throwing a third-party candidate out there where principled conservatives can once again vote to guarantee the continuation of socialist Marxism in the United States, that\u2019s considered a wise move. Because it preserves what\u2019s important to the establishment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The names of a few well-known conservatives have been offered up in recent days as potential third-party standard-bearers, and William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, has circulated a memo to a small number of conservative allies detailing the process by which an independent candidate could get on general-election ballots across the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Among the recruits under discussion are Tom Coburn, a former Oklahoma senator who has told associates that he would be open to running, and Rick Perry, the former Texas governor who was suggested as a possible third-party candidate at a meeting of conservative activists on Thursday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So you got that conservative group that met on Thursday that could not come to a consensus, apparently. This is an entirely different group. We got the establishment and the conservative groups. Now, Kristol was not a member of the conservative group. He\u2019s part of the establishment. He runs the Weekly Standard. And I\u2019m sure he thinks, &#8220;Who\u2019s gonna read this, who\u2019s gonna want to read this if we\u2019re not in power or if we\u2019re not in charge of the opposition, if we\u2019re not perceived to be in charge of the opposition?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_119811\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPNOMINATION-road.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\n&#8220;Mr. Coburn, who left the Senate early last year to receive treatment for cancer, said in an interview that Mr. Trump &#8216;needs to be stopped\u2019 and that he expected to back an independent candidate against him. He said he had little appetite for a campaign of his own, but did not flatly rule one out. &#8216;I\u00c2\u2019m going to support that person,'&#8221; whoever this group comes up with to stop Trump. &#8220;&#8216;and I don\u00c2\u2019t expect that person to be me.\u2019 Trump opponents convened a series of war councils last week to pinpoint his biggest vulnerabilities and consider whether to endorse,&#8221; Cruz or Kasich.<\/p>\n<p>You know what gives this up, what exposes this as not being about the party, why are these people not unifying around Ted Cruz? You got a guy who is second in delegates. You have a guy who is in the Senate. Look, it\u2019s a rhetorical question. I know the answer to the question. It makes the point. They don\u2019t want any of these three. They really don\u2019t want Trump and they really don\u2019t want Cruz. They\u2019re in a panic, they\u2019ve gotta come up with somebody. Why, if they were serious about winning and unity, why not, if you don\u2019t like Trump, you want to take Trump out, why not unify behind Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>And the fact that they don\u2019t want to do that should be all you need to know about what really is going on here. It isn\u2019t about winning the presidency, folks. It\u2019s another in a long line of reasons of why Trump exists and why Trump has supporters. You go back to these protests which are not protests, these criminal actions, I will guarantee you that Trump supporters, they are made up of a lot of people, folks.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another thing happening, by the way. The Trump supporter is being presented as a poor, dumb, uneducated, white working class person who lost his manufacturing job ten years ago and wants to blame somebody for his failures. That\u2019s who they want you to believe Trump supporters are. It may be the most disadvantaged group in this country to be a member of today, the white working class. It seems like everybody\u2019s dumping on that group of people. The white working class, in their view, in their minds, they\u2019re the ones that have gone off to fought the wars. They\u2019re the ones who have voted the existing Republican power structure into office year after year after year. They are the ones that pay their taxes. They are the ones who do the work that very few other people in the country want to do, including joining the military. And now everybody\u2019s dumping on \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_119813\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TRUMPmania-A.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nPrior to joining Trump, you know what they did? They were Tea Partiers. And, by the way, the Tea Party and Trump supporters are not monolithic. They\u2019re not all poor white &#8212; look, let me just call a spade a spade. What they want you to believe is the average Trump voter is an uneducated hick, white trash, upset over his own or her own personal failures looking to blame somebody else and Trump has come along and given them comfort.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not who they are. Sure some people in that group might fit that description. The vast majority of them are Tea Partiers. The vast majority of them are really middle class, some in the upper middle class, who are fit to be tied. You look at these protests that &#8212; criminal actions that are called protests. I don\u2019t know how to emphasize this. Since the 1960s, there has been a building anger and resentment at all of these protesters and everything they\u2019ve gotten away with and everything they have destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>People have sat in their homes and watched this stuff, and they have cursed it. They have opposed it. They have wondered why nobody does anything to stop it. They have wondered why malcontents like this get away with destructive, criminal behavior. They know it\u2019s not protest. They know it\u2019s not&#8230; These are rent-a-mobs. These are bought and paid for. These are anarchists. These are&#8230; They\u2019re a miserable bunch, a miserable lot of collected leftists who are never happy and are never gonna be happy.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re bought and paid for, and for years nobody has done a thing about them. They have been permitted to become what is seen as an active political force for the Democrat Party. The Republican Party doesn\u2019t stand up to \u2019em. It tries to coddle them. The Republican Party doesn\u2019t do what&#8230; Trump comes along and simply isn\u2019t taking it, and it\u2019s another reason why people are supportive of Trump. I mean, there\u2019s a lot tied up in all of this in terms of reasons to explain Trump\u2019s support so forth.<\/p>\n<p>But the great misunderstanding exists inside the Beltway, a great misunderstanding of just who and what the majority American body politic is, who they are, what they think, what their dreams are. That\u2019s foreign territory to people inside the Beltway. And they are resented to boot. The Republican Party had a chance to embrace&#8230; I never could understand why they wouldn\u2019t embrace the anti-Obama coalition, Obamacare. There was a built-in majority waiting for the Republican Party to join and become a majority.<\/p>\n<p>And then the Tea Party came along, and they wanted no part of the Tea Party. The Tea Party presented an opportunity to once again become the majority party, and they wouldn\u2019t unite with the Tea Party. What do they expect to happen when they reject their own voters, when they reject people that want to support them over and over again, when they mock them and laugh at them and make fun of them? What do they think\u2019s gonna happen when somebody like Trump comes along?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: There is some news in these upcoming primaries. &#8220;Poll: Cruz Within Striking Distance of Trump in Arizona &#8212; A poll of Arizona Republicans conducted last week but released today shows Donald Trump leading Ted Cruz 31% to 19%, with John Kasich and Marco Rubio tied at 10%.
