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

RUSH: Here is Norm in Toledo. Norm has been waiting awhile in Toledo, Ohio. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, Norm. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you very much, and mega mule-skinner dittos to you from Toledo.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And, by the way, hats off to Mr. Snerdley. He\u2019s a great gentleman.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate you\u2019re saying so, sir.<\/p>\n


\nCALLER: Okay. What I wanted to say is — getting back into this Trump-Cruz debate of who\u2019s conservative and who isn\u2019t the intelligentsia — it doesn\u2019t matter, if Trump gets elected or is the nominee or gets elected president or if Cruz gets elected president. The Congress is gonna do the same thing to either one of them. They\u2019re gonna absolutely… They\u2019re gonna actually have to go back to work and do something. So it\u2019s not gonna benefit Ted Cruz or it\u2019s not gonna benefit Trump.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, that\u2019s very shrewd of you. I actually made a similar point yesterday to a panicked caller, as opposed to you, Norm, who are not panicked. You are calm, cool, collected, and reserved. I applaud you for that. But we had a panicked caller yesterday who tried to tell me that Trump is no different than Obama. Obama\u2019s an authoritarian doing executive orders for his far-left wing, radical stuff. But Trump\u2019s the same guy. I\u2019m listening to Trump. He\u2019s gonna do all this, he\u2019s gonna make Apple do that, he\u2019s gonna make Oreos do that. Nabisco. He\u2019s gonna make Ford do that.<\/p>\n

He can\u2019t do that without Congress. And I said, ‘It\u2019s time everybody understands something. The only reason Obama has gotten away with his authoritarianism — well, not the only, but a major reason — is he hasn\u2019t had any opposition. The Republican Party… This was the second thing I was trying to tell you with the media people. The reason is the Republican Party\u2019s been paralyzed ever since January 2009. Whether they have been paralyzed by the media or the charge of racism \u2019cause Obama\u2019s African-American or whatever, there hasn\u2019t been any stoppage.<\/p>\n

There hasn\u2019t been any push-back, there hasn\u2019t been any opposition, and they have said they were not going to — other than when they lied to us in campaigns. But when they\u2019ve actually gone back to work, they have done nothing to stop Obama — and in fact in many areas, they\u2019ve tried to join him. I guarantee you, Trump, if he gets elected as a Republican, Republican president, you think Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and Pelosi are gonna shut down, just sit back and say:<\/p>\n

“Oh, we can\u2019t criticize Trump! He\u2019s the first orange-faced president we\u2019ve ever had. We can\u2019t oppose that!” They\u2019re gonna stop Trump everywhere he goes. They\u2019re gonna try to stop Trump in every single thing he does. And on the Cruz side, the Republicans are gonna try to stop him along with the Democrats. My point is that our system, when everybody plays, it denies authoritarians most of the chances they have for success. Obama\u2019s gotten away with it \u2019cause there\u2019s no opposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
