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

RUSH: Now, I\u2019ve mentioned it to you before on the program, but it was the first time I\u2019ve made the point on television, and I had made a point. I decided I was gonna lead with this no matter what Chris Wallace\u2019s first question was, and it\u2019s this. I don\u2019t know for how many years, but it\u2019s a number of them — four years, five years — the Republican Party has been telling its voters that it cannot win — we cannot win — with Republican votes alone. And I\u2019ve had candidates tell me this.<\/p>\n

Mitt Romney has been to my office here. So has Rand Paul. They both said the same thing. This is not recently. Well, Rand Paul was maybe a year ago and Romney two or three or four years now. But, anyway, it\u2019s a popularly held axiom in Republican Party, they can\u2019t win with just Republican votes alone, and the second part of it is there\u2019s a whole bunch of Republican votes that embarrass them: Evangelicals, conservatives.<\/p>\n

Remember Jeb Bush?<\/p>\n

He was gonna win the general without winning the primary, meaning he was gonna find a way to get the nomination bypassing the Republican base. We see how that worked out for him. And this is why we\u2019re told, “The Republican Party must show that it can get along with minorities, that it does not dislike minorities, that it\u2019s not racist, bigoted, sexist, homophobic, or what have you. And, therefore, this is why the Republican Party must join with the Democrats and promote amnesty for illegal immigrants for the procurement, shall we say, of the Hispanic vote.”<\/p>\n

And they have openly said to us conservatives who are unhappy about the way they\u2019re governing, they are ignoring their own campaign promises. They are ignoring the will of Republican voters in the last two midterms — 2010, 2014 — by telling us, “No, no, no, no! We have to branch out. We have to become a bigger, more inclusive party,” right? Well, as I said on Fox News Sunday, “Who is it that\u2019s actually done that? It\u2019s Donald Trump.” Donald Trump has actually put together the exact kind of coalition the Republican Party has been telling us that it needs in order to win, that it will not win if it doesn\u2019t succeed in branching out and expanding the party.<\/p>\n

And the expansion includes people that were normally qualified as Reagan Democrats, Hispanics, African-Americans, women. Trump is doing it. And there\u2019s, oh, mounds of evidence for it. Let\u2019s look at some of the open primaries that have taken place. A number of Democrats, as we predicted… Trump\u2019s going out, he\u2019s actually playing to them, and they are crossing the aisle and voting for Trump in these primaries. In closed primaries where they can\u2019t cross over and vote for Trump, Republicans are winning those.<\/p>\n

Cruz primarily is winning Republican primaries that are closed, like Oklahoma was closed. Now, Trump is specifically making a play for this group, and in this group of people is white middle class voters who the Democrat Party has written off. And Dan Balz… I think it was Dan Balz. A former Washington Post columnist wrote in November of 2011, I think it was, that the Democrats plan to write off white working class vote<\/a>s. And if you look at Obama\u2019s economic policy, look at Obama\u2019s Obamacare policy, he is.<\/p>\n

<\/a>White working-class voters are persona non grata, and Trump\u2019s getting them. He\u2019s getting them in droves. And the Republican Party doesn\u2019t want them. It\u2019s the most amazing thing. Trump is actually putting together what the Republican Party has told us is the coalition they cannot win without. Now, apparently they really don\u2019t want to expand the party to include white middle class Democrats, Hispanics, and others from the Democrat Party if Trump is responsible for bringing them.<\/p>\n

Look at it this way. Trump has assembled a package the GOP says it desperately needs and wants in order to win in the future. But now they\u2019re not interested \u2019cause they don\u2019t like the delivery company. I made this point, and I made it big. And the second point — and I think that\u2019s crucial, because it\u2019s an indictment of the current Republican Party. It\u2019s an indictment of the Republican establishment. It means one of two things. Either they are just telling us this as an excuse for not implementing policies we have voted for them to implement and they really don\u2019t mean it, or else they really don\u2019t want Trump getting any credit for this.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the thing about this. If you\u2019re gonna go out… Now, follow me on this folks. Do not knee-jerk me on this. Listen to me. If you are Candidate A, B — if you\u2019re Trump, if you\u2019re Cruz, I don\u2019t care who you are — and if part of your strategy is to go out and attract Democrat voters to join your Republican base, you can\u2019t get them by sounding like a Republican. If you sound like a Republican, they\u2019re not gonna move and join you, right? This is what we have always objected to the Republican establishment.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve always viewed the Republican establishment as watering itself down, the Republican Party as diluting itself and abandoning its principles in its quest for amnesty and other policy misadventures designed to attract Democrat voters. If you\u2019re gonna go get Democrat voters you have to speak their language and you have to do it in a credible way. You have to make them think that you get them. And Trump\u2019s doing that. I have no doubt that\u2019s why Trump is harping on Planned Parenthood. I have no doubt that\u2019s why Trump is harping on…<\/p>\n

Folks, if the Republican Party were to do, this is what they would have to do to get these voters. The Republican Party\u2019s not gonna get a bunch of Hispanics by standing for amnesty alone. We already have seen that proven. The Republican Party, if they want to expand their base — if they\u2019re being honest with us and they want liberal Democrats to abandon the Democrat Party and vote Republican — they\u2019re not gonna do that by us espousing conservatism. Not right now. Conservatism is not what\u2019s gonna appeal to these people. These people are disaffected Democrats. They\u2019re mad at the establishment for their own reasons, a la the Bernie Sanders phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Plus on the Democrat side, there\u2019s just a bunch of people that don\u2019t like Hillary to boot. But my point is that these Republicans are upset the way Trump is attacking George W. Bush and defending Planned Parenthood. I\u2019m asking myself, “Well, how else are you gonna get \u2019em?” You know, Republicans, you gotta make up your mind. You want to be a Republican-conservative party, you want to expand the party on the basis of conservative principles? Then get somebody in there that knows how to do it.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have anybody — if you\u2019re not conservative, if you don\u2019t believe conservatism, if you can\u2019t sell it because you don\u2019t believe it, if you can\u2019t articulate it, if you\u2019re not happy about it — you\u2019re never going to expand the party the right way. You\u2019re gonna have to do it the way Trump is. So why get mad at what Trump\u2019s doing when he\u2019s doing exactly what you\u2019ve always claimed you need to win? “Well, I don\u2019t like that he\u2019s attacking Bush, and I don\u2019t like he\u2019s defend Planned Parenthood.” Well, I\u2019m sorry. If you want people to cross over and vote for you now and in the general in November…<\/p>\n

I thought this is what “crossing the aisle” meant. I think Trump\u2019s defining it, isn\u2019t he? Crossing the aisle, showing he can work with the other side, showing he can engage in compromise. This is what it looks like, folks. This is what it looks like. You know, all of you linguini-spined moderate Republicans who buy into this “We gotta cross the aisle, we gotta show the other side we can work with \u2019em and make Washington work,” and you don\u2019t like Trump? Well, Trump is doing exactly what you say you support doing, and you don\u2019t like it? No wonder you\u2019re confused.<\/p>\n


\nBREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So, to sum up: Trump is assembling a coalition beyond Republicans, a coalition the Republican Party has been saying for years it needs. They\u2019ve been telling us we\u2019ve gotta back off, be patient, understand, gotta branch out. That\u2019s why they gotta go for amnesty and all that. Trump\u2019s doing it. I saw somewhere where maybe as much as 20% of Trump\u2019s support is coming from white working class Democrats, independents, moderates and so forth — exactly what the Republican Party says they need. But they\u2019re not happy. They don\u2019t want Trump\u2019s delivery.<\/p>\n

But for those of you who think that the Republican Party\u2019s right and you talk about crossing the aisle and think that it\u2019s a great thing to compromise and “get things done”? Well, this is what it looks like! Crossing the aisle does not mean trying to persuade white working class Democrats about conservatism, which is what Reagan did. This is not reaching across the aisle and converting. Reaching across the aisle and pandering is what the Republican Party is talking about. That\u2019s why so many of its supporters are fit to be tied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
