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

RUSH: Salon.com — Salon magazine, left-wing extraordinaire — headline: “Hillary Clinton Just Cannot Win: Democrats Need to Accept That Only Bernie Sanders Can Defeat the GOP.<\/a>” Salon is — I don\u2019t know — demanding, advocating, editorializing that Hillary get out of the race. They are suggesting that she surrender. She can\u2019t win. She can\u2019t beat Trump or Cruz or whoever. Only Bernie Sanders can. Salon.com: Wacko, leftist, extreme radicals to you and me; mainstream Democrat thought to them. I\u2019m going to have to make a note because I\u2019m not going to have time to develop this today.<\/p>\n

<\/a>But, folks, it is a… We sit here and we laugh at Bernie Sanders and that whole campaign over there. We laugh at Crazy Bernie as this doddering man running around. You realize a frightening, frighteningly large percentage of Americans think Bernie Sanders is a rock star. And it\u2019s because of what he\u2019s saying. It\u2019s not personality. It\u2019s not. It may be cultish, but it\u2019s because Bernie Sanders is promoting socialism. It\u2019s right there what we\u2019re up against, and the one thing the Republican presidential primary does not hit on is that.<\/p>\n

And I think they should. That\u2019s what we\u2019re ultimately up against. Now, I understand the immediate task at hand for Republicans is to win the nomination, to win the primary fight. But I think part and parcel of doing that is letting everybody know you know who the real opponents are, the real enemy is, and what we\u2019re going to do about it. Because this is a significantly large number of Americans that can\u2019t wait to elect this guy. They\u2019re not a tiny minority of 20%, folks. And they are rabid.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m telling you, Salon.com is not insignificant. They may not be the Huffington Puffington Post. Although they may be. I really don\u2019t know, to be honest, who your average, ordinary, left-wing radical, thinks is their most credible website out there, who they rely on, who to them is gospel. A lot of them think Salon is. Some of them think Huffington Puffington Post. Some think it\u2019s The Nation. But I\u2019m telling you: When something like Salon comes along and thinks Hillary should surrender because she can\u2019t beat the Republican, that only Bernie Sanders can and that they love Bernie and they don\u2019t like Hillary?<\/p>\n

<\/a>They want her gone?<\/p>\n

This is not insignificant.<\/p>\n

And, again, to me it is a very sobering reality to see how many Americans think what Bernie Sanders is talking about is heaven: A 90% tax rate, “free” everything — and that\u2019s what he\u2019s promising. Everything is free, and he\u2019s going to punish everybody who has succeeded at anything to pay for it. He\u2019s going to punish every achiever. He\u2019s going to punish people trying to achieve. He wants to tax “Wall Street speculation.” That\u2019s anybody who buys or sells a stock! He wants to tax every level. He wants to tax the attempt to succeed.<\/p>\n

Even in his world, the attempt to succeed makes you a suspect, and you have to be taxed. Free college. Free food. What good is free college? What is…? The theory is that everybody needs an education, free education, to make it fair so that you can go out there and get a job and do well. But if you\u2019re also trying to wipe out competition, why should anybody have to have an education to succeed? Why won\u2019t you just mandate success and define it as X number of dollars a year and give that away?<\/p>\n

What is this going to college? Why do people need an education. What are they going to use it for? They\u2019re going to use it to improve themselves? Well, that\u2019s competition! You can\u2019t have that because then you\u2019ll have some losers. See, the libs are get hung up every step of the way, even in their utopia, because you\u2019re going to have losers — and that\u2019s what\u2019s they can\u2019t abide. They can\u2019t abide that they\u2019re losers. Any system that makes people losers is unjust and immoral and we\u2019ve got to get rid of it.<\/p>\n

Except they\u2019re not going to get rid of themselves so what are they going to do here? What\u2019s the point of an education? Particularly when the number of jobs available are dwindling or is dwindling because the government is taking over more and more of them. What\u2019s the point of an education if it\u2019s not for propaganda and brainwashing, which I think is really what they mean by education. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I don\u2019t think when Bernie Sanders talks about “education,” he\u2019s talking about preparing people to do well in life.<\/line><\/p>\n

Because he can\u2019t mean that because that means they then gotta go out and compete. And competition, that\u2019s one of the biggest sins in all of “progressivism.” Even if you want to compete you\u2019re bad. That means you want to win. Not cool! If you want to win, you want losers, and then you\u2019ll taunt them. That\u2019s really bad. No. No losers and by definition no winners, because everybody wins. So, Bernie, don\u2019t give away college.<\/p>\n

Just establish what you think is a fair annual amount of money to live on. Don\u2019t call it an income, because nobody is earning it, in your world. Just establish what it is. If it takes 100 grand, give it to everybody — and I guarantee you, he\u2019s going to have people vote for him on that basis, folks. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening now. That\u2019s what they think he\u2019s promising. Hell, that\u2019s what they thought Obamacare was going to be. A large number of them. It\u2019s a scary, scary thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
