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

RUSH: No, no, no. I\u2019ve not forgotten where I was in the Trump story about the Trump campaign. And a mistake that the Republican Party is making is thinking they need to improve their standing with Latinos and Hispanic voters to win. Now, there\u2019s nothing wrong if they do that, but that\u2019s not the road to victory. That\u2019s not what they have to do. Romney\u2019s already proven it. And when you hear me run the numbers, report the numbers that already had been run on what it would have taken…<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll cut to the chase. For Romney to have won, given everything else that happened in 2012, he would have needed 70% of the Latino vote. Not gonna happen, right? However, given everything else that happened, if Romney had just secured an additional 4% of the white vote, he would have won in 2012. Now, which of those two is more attainable, more doable? Romney nor any Republican is going to get 70% of the Latino vote. Now, I say that, and I can actually see where I\u2019m wrong about that, given certain circumstances. <\/p>\n

But Romney wasn\u2019t gonna do it, and the Republican establishment is not gonna do it the way they\u2019re going about it. They\u2019re not gonna get a significant increase in the Latino vote by being Democrat Party Light. They\u2019re not gonna get it by being for amnesty. They\u2019re not gonna get it by not criticizing Obama. They\u2019re not gonna get it by reaching out to Hispanics on the basis of liberal-type issues. <\/line><\/p>\n

Even if they did — if they knew exactly how to do it — they\u2019re still not gonna get 70% of the Latino vote, which is what Romney would have needed if everything else was the same. But achieving 40% additional white vote? Well, that\u2019s much more doable than getting enough of the Hispanic vote to win. What does it also tell you? It tells you why Romney lost. Now, we all know the reasons why Romney lost. There was a lot of the Republican base that stayed home, and many of them happened to be white. <\/p>\n

Now, see, here\u2019s the thing. You\u2019re hearing all this talk that whites are a minority, or soon to be a minority, “People of color are becoming the majority, and the days of white-dominated America are history and forget about \u2019em \u2019cause it\u2019s never gonna happen again. It\u2019s about time you came to peace with that, because your people\u2019s day has come and gone, and your day of running this country is over.” Well, it\u2019s wishful thinking on the part of the leftist identity politics experts. <\/p>\n

The fact of the matter is if Romney had just achieved 4% more support of white voters, he would have won. And 71% of the country to this day are still white, 73% still Christian. So these people on the left, they\u2019re relying on getting away with intimidation and lies and dispiriting attacks on things that people hold dear. They\u2019re succeeding. The Republican Party\u2019s helping, by the way. They\u2019re succeeding in getting voters to stay home. But I\u2019ll give you the details of all this — how you get there — in mere moments. <\/p>\n

And, yeah, we\u2019re gonna get to the Patriots thing and the Brady suspension being upheld. We\u2019re all gonna get to it, folks. That\u2019s why we\u2019re three hours here every day. Takes that much. I mean, I could do all this in the first 20 minutes and go home. But all I would be able to do is tell you what happened. You would not benefit from my own analysis of it, which is why you\u2019re here. And that analysis along with the reportage consumes vast majority of the three hours the program. <\/p>\n

And I also have to get some phones in. We\u2019ll start that now with Alan in Grand Junction, Colorado. Glad you called, and I appreciate your patience. And hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. It\u2019s good to talk to you. I\u2019d just like to talk for a moment about Jericho Trump. This is a guy… Oh, wait a minute. I got that mixed up with your past story.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Donald Trump is a man of monstrous ego, but I think people love him because he doesn\u2019t even pretend to be humble. My suggestion is this, Rush. He doesn\u2019t want to president, and he doesn\u2019t even want to be nominated, but he has something to do. He has a company to run. But he loves America, and I think he sees that the nomination process is broken, and he\u2019s trying to teach Republicans how to run for president. I think when he finds that candidate that most closely aligns with his thought processes, he\u2019s gonna throw his support in behind that candidate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, that\u2019s an interesting observation. Because, you know, it\u2019s not just his thought processes. Can Trump…? Following your theory, now: Can Trump teach somebody else to be like he is? <\/p>\n

CALLER: No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mean, Trump is Trump. We\u2019re all unique personalities. Trump is unique and different from everybody else, but he\u2019s really showing how unique he is in the world of politics.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s true. But I think what he can do is draw on those positive qualities from a candidate or candidates that are out there now among the 15 or so, and when he finds the one that\u2019s closest to him and what he wants to accomplish, as maybe similar strength to his, he will back them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So Trump really doesn\u2019t want to win? He\u2019s just getting in this to show the others how it can be done?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And at some point, he\u2019s gonna watch whoever is best at emulating him, and he\u2019s then going to get out and endorse them?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think that\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen. I don\u2019t believe he even wants to be president. He wants to fix something that\u2019s broken. That\u2019s what he\u2019s been doing for years and very successfully.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This, I think, is where the smart minds — the wizards of smart in the Washington establishment — are beginning to scratch their heads, \u2019cause I think from the beginning of this, they\u2019ve all said what you just said. “He doesn\u2019t want to win this. He doesn\u2019t really want to get the nomination. He doesn\u2019t want to be president,” and they use that to comfort themselves that this had a life span and he was gonna get out or implode. I think they\u2019re starting to ask themselves now, “Wait a minute. Are we wrong? Does this guy actually intend to run and win?” <\/p>\n

I think both parties are starting to very seriously ask themselves that question.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Go to phones for a couple times here, Lewis in Omaha, you\u2019re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hello, sir.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Mr. Limbaugh. It\u2019s an honor to talk to you. I believe first time I heard you on the radio was around September\/maybe October of 1988 when I was stationed in Camp Pendleton near San Diego at a substation down there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re a lifer. That\u2019s practically day one.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I got to listen to you consistently for probably the next 10 years. I kind of caught up with you again when I moved out to Omaha after I got out of the Marines.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad I came back. It\u2019s great to know that you\u2019re still there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Well, the reason I\u2019m calling is \u2019cause I consider myself to be a very hardcore conservative, and I don\u2019t like Trump at all. I mean, I remember him way back when he was a liberal, and I don\u2019t see anything that\u2019s changed. I mean, he\u2019s been a liberal for about 59 years now, for about three months he\u2019s talking conservative talking points, and suddenly that makes him one of us? I haven\u2019t seen him change his actions, just change the words that he\u2019s saying. I just do not understand.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It feels like people follow him around the way they follow Obama around.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re not alone in this. There are a number of conservative media types –not a bunch of, but there are enough — who agree.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m not… I definitely don\u2019t consider myself to be establishment type. I mean, I probably disagree with McCain 99% of the time except for when he talks about national defense.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not talking about those guys. I\u2019m talking about the press.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Trump hits him on being a POW? I mean, he could have attacked him on so many other different ways, but that just kind of rubbed me the wrong way, as a veteran. But I know there\u2019s veterans that like Trump. I mean, I don\u2019t understand it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You don\u2019t like the way he went after McCain on the POW thing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not with the POW thing. I mean, there is a host of different things that he could have used.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, do you really want to get into that, because one of the reasons why… Honest to God now, LouisP One of the reasons why Trump is resonating to well with veterans… Are you not aware of the anger, a lot, millions of veterans have aimed at McCain over this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m angry about the establishment, too.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They think McCain\u2019s a sellout on POWs and MIAs.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Like I said, 99 times out of a hundred I\u2019m against John McCain, what he hands for. But the one thing that he went after is probably the only thing I would honor McCain for. You know, what he did for our country is what most Americans would never be able to endure. But anything else is fair game. Why he went after that, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, he actually didn\u2019t. We\u2019re starting to get into repeating old history here, but he was misquoted and misreported about what he said. He didn\u2019t say what the Washington Post and the media then ran with supposedly he had said about McCain. Look, I don\u2019t want to revisit all that. My point to you is that when I tell you there\u2019s a lot of conservative media, I\u2019m not talking about the establishment media. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking about some conservative the bloggers who think Trump\u2019s a wolf in sheep\u2019s clothing. They don\u2019t trust him. They don\u2019t like him. They say the same thing you said. This guy has given money to liberals, he\u2019s been a liberal, he\u2019s got public statements in favor of Obamacare that you can find, and all these things. I know that there are some people who support Trump who will tell you they don\u2019t care right now what he\u2019s saying, that he represents something else that they want.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the willingness to fight. It\u2019s the willingness to tell the media what\u2019s what and various Democrats what\u2019s what. Some people think it\u2019s possible for anybody to evolve. Some are saying, “Yeah, yeah, I doubted Trump. But I think any American right now that\u2019s paying attention that doesn\u2019t disavow what\u2019s been going on Democrat Party for seven years would be suspect.” So you\u2019re never gonna have universal, total support for anybody doing anything. So we\u2019ll just have to see how all this plays out. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I\u2019m observing here, folks. I\u2019m doing objective journalism here in reporting all of this stuff, but you have no idea what you think about any of it, do you, yet? I mean, in terms of people, supports, endorsement, you have no idea, right? I am the ideal Drive-By journalist… (interruption) No, no. I\u2019m the ideal, real journalist — America\u2019s Real Anchorman here — just telling you what\u2019s going on, and endeavoring to understand it. I\u2019ll take the occasion of this call to go back to this story that we dredged up from the archives.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s by Byron York in the Washington Examiner in 2013, almost over two years ago. Now, the point here, folks, is, you take a look at establishment Republican, you can talk about Trump all you want, Louis, but there are plenty of Republicans who have been voting Republican for years and are fed up by what those Republicans are not doing. The Republicans said, “Well, we can\u2019t do anything unless we have a majority in the House.” Voters gave them that 2010. <\/line><\/p>\n

Next, Republicans say, “Well, we can\u2019t really do anything until we get a majority in the Senate.” Oh. Okay. Voters gave them that. Now they\u2019re say, “Well, we really can\u2019t do anything because they don\u2019t have 60 votes,” and the voters are saying, “Screw this! We have given you majorities in both houses, and we don\u2019t see any evidence of it,” and they\u2019re livid. It\u2019s not just… You know, Trump is coming off as more authentic than the people these Republicans are voting for, many of them. <\/p>\n

The authenticity is a big deal. So many people today, more than I think in my entire career here behind the Golden EIB Microphone, have suspicions about the kind of people that go into politics, meaning that they\u2019re robotic. They\u2019re programmed, they\u2019re phony, but not authentic. They\u2019re not really real. You never get the real person, because they\u2019re so on guard. They don\u2019t want to say the wrong thing. Adopting that kind of existence\/personality, not saying the wrong thing, means you don\u2019t say anything. <\/p>\n

You find clever and creative ways to say nothing, and people are sick and tired of politicians saying nothing or, even worse, saying things that voters want to hear but then not seeing any accompanying action. It\u2019s much like… How many of you pay attention to commentary, say… Well, anywhere. Written, published commentary say on backlogs, or here on radio or on TV, and you see April… Let\u2019s just stick with conservatism here for a second. You have a conservative commentator.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not important here to mention names because mentioning names would distract people\u2019s attention from the point I want to make, which is that on our side, folks — and I was conversing about this with a good friend of mine before the program today. You look at the left is made up of what? Activists. Yeah, they have their beliefs, and they have their words, sick and inciting and so forth as they are, but they also have lots of action. They\u2019re out there protesting. <\/line><\/p>\n

They\u2019re agitating. They\u2019re doing whatever they can to implement. And they\u2019ve succeeded. They\u2019re a minority. They are a minority, they\u2019re bullying their way to victory. Our side… What have I always said about conservatism? That it is, in large part, to understand conservatism, it\u2019s an intellectual pursuit or application. It shouldn\u2019t be because it\u2019s just common sense. Liberalism is simply the pursuit of emotions, and it\u2019s much easier to tap into emotion and motivate emotion than it is to tap into intellect and motivate that. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen it over and over again. We have a lot of smart people on our side who are satisfied with intelligent commentary and words. But there\u2019s never any action behind it. Very rarely any action behind it. There\u2019s all kinds of commentary and analysis. “This is wrong; that\u2019s wrong. This is good; that\u2019s good.” But it ends there. There\u2019s no effort behind the words to implement any beliefs that appear to be apparent by virtue of what someone says. <\/p>\n

I think that people on the right happen to be satisfied when they think they have succeeded in winning a verbal argument. The left is not interested in that. The left doesn\u2019t care about winning or losing verbal arguments. They don\u2019t even want to get into debates. They don\u2019t give a rat\u2019s rear end about that. All they care about is getting rid of us as a viable political opposition, just getting rid of us. That\u2019s all they care about. They don\u2019t care about winning arguments. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re not satisfied when they win an argument. They really celebrate the people that do. I\u2019m convinced they look past all of Bill Clinton\u2019s negatives because Clinton routinely, in their eyes, made mincemeat of conservatives, and that was his value. And ditto Obama. And Obama\u2019s been a disaster for the black population of this country economically. Let\u2019s just face it, he\u2019s been a disaster for everybody economically. But he\u2019s loved and adored by people who love and adore him because he makes mincemeat of conservatives all the time, and that\u2019s all that matters to these people. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re not making mincemeat of anybody. But that\u2019s what Trump\u2019s doing. Trump is starting to make mincemeat out of people, and the people he\u2019s made mincemeat out of are leftists. So people are shoving aside the news when they hear it, “Hey, you know what? You\u2019re being fooled. This guy\u2019s not one of you. This guy\u2019s a liberal Democrat! He\u2019s running the biggest scam you\u2019ve ever seen yet. You\u2019re gonna end up paying the price.” People are willing to look past it at this stage. Still early, and there are a lot of other factors that make this fun for people. <\/p>\n

But when you start talking about the actual winning of elections and then doing something with the victories… Republicans are winning elections, but that\u2019s where it stops, as far as their voters are concerned. So, if you go back to the 2012 presidential race, and you listen to what the Republican establishment today is saying they need to do, their candidate needs to do to win the White House, you find out how off track they are and how greatly they are misjudging what they have to do to win. <\/p>\n

The headline for Byron York\u2019s piece back in 2003 is: “Winning Hispanic Vote Would Not Be Enough for GOP, But Winning the White Vote Would Be Everything<\/a> — After six months…” This is just six months after the election here. “After six months of mulling over November\u2019s election results, many Republicans remain convinced that the party\u2019s only path to future victory is to improve the party\u2019s appeal to Hispanic voters. But how many Hispanic voters do Republicans need to attract before the party can again win the White House?” <\/p>\n

Well, they need a lot. They need more than they\u2019re ever going to get. They cannot win the White House pursuing the Hispanic vote, and yet this is the singular belief establishment has. They can\u2019t win unless they get the Hispanic vote. The truth is, they\u2019re never gonna get enough of it to win, because they are losing the support of other demographic groups in the process. And that base that they need to win is exactly what Donald Trump two years later is tapping into, and this is what has them so under…<\/p>\n

Folks, at the Republican establishment level, you know as well as I do that if they could throw away the Christian right, the conservative base, the Tea Party, they would do it. Even if it meant being in the wilderness of defeat for a couple cycles, they would do it. For whatever reasons that they don\u2019t like conservatives, whatever reason they don\u2019t like Christian voter, whatever it is, they would do it. But Trump is their worst nightmare. <\/p>\n

Trump is tapping into the exact group of voters — and the group of voters made up of different demographic groups of people. But Trump is tapping into that universe of voters the Republican Party can win with, and he is demonstrating to them how they can win. They don\u2019t like it. It\u2019s like a kid being shown… If you had a magic formula to show your kid eating spinach would make him live to a hundred, he\u2019d still reject it \u2019cause he doesn\u2019t want to do it because you\u2019re saying so. This is what we\u2019re dealing with here. <\/p>\n

I gotta take a break. I\u2019m a little long here and still much to do. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very simply, cutting to the chase, Donald Trump — love him or hate him, worried about him or not — there\u2019s something that\u2019s happening. You can see it. All you have to do is admit it, and the Republican establishment doesn\u2019t want to. Trump is showing their theory to win the White House is not gonna work. They want to stick to the theory no matter what, because they actually do want to win with it, but they won\u2019t. The formulas don\u2019t work. It\u2019s this simple. <\/line><\/p>\n

This article in 2013 provides all the data from Byron York. Romney needed 70% more Hispanic votes than he got to win the presidency. If they\u2019re focused on one demographic, and the Republican establishment is right now, Hispanics are it. That\u2019s why immigration is it. That\u2019s why amnesty is it. Romney already won a majority of the independents. Years ago they told us that\u2019s what you had to do to win the White House: The independents.<\/p>\n

“He who wins the independents wins the election,” right? Well, somehow that went out the window, because we\u2019re now winning independents but we\u2019re not winning the elections. So, what happened? Well, fooled again. Next up: “Win the Hispanics! Gotta get the Hispanic vote. If you don\u2019t get the Hispanic votes, you\u2019re history.” Romney would have needed 70% additional Hispanic vote, which wasnever gonna happen. But he needed only 4% more white votes to win. If he would have just gotten 4% more of the white vote. <\/p>\n

Now, the Democrats don\u2019t want to hear this \u2019cause the Democrats are in the midst of trying to break down the old order, which they think is a white, patriarchal power structure discriminating against everybody. It\u2019s the root of all evil. From the days of the founding of this country, the while male majority is the root of all evil, and everything the left is doing is bent on destroying the power of that particular block. They\u2019re doing it with guilt. They\u2019re doing it with the law. They\u2019re doing it by upending the culture.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re doing everything they can, as a minority, bullying their way in to blow up, and Trump is reviving it, folks. It\u2019s no more complicated than that, and that\u2019s why there\u2019s so much… It\u2019s not a racial thing. It\u2019s a numbers thing. It\u2019s coalescing groups to win elections. The Republican Party has chosen the impossible route: 70% more Hispanic votes than Romney got. But 4% additional white vote would have won. Why? The white vote is so large. The white population is so large that getting 4% more of it.<\/p>\n

Going from 60 to 64% of whites who vote would have won the race for Romney. So, they gotta ask themselves, “Why didn\u2019t they vote for Romney? Who\u2019d they vote for him? Did they vote? But it\u2019s a lot easier to get 4% of 65-70% of the country, than to go get 70% of 18% of the country or 25%, whatever it is.” And yet who are the Republicans angering? The Republican Party joining the Democrat Party in angering white voters, and there\u2019s Trump tapping right into \u2019em. Blue-collar white voter Democrats, you name it. That\u2019s why everybody is out of sorts in the establishment.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, and just one more thing here about the Trumpster. It just so happens, just so happens to dovetail nicely with that point that I was just making, which I\u2019ve been a number of profundities that I have uttered and offered today, and this one is well, and it is that Trump is actually lighting up — he is coalescing, he is exciting — a cadre of voters, the exact voters Republicans need to win. The ironic… Republicans are… I mean, it\u2019s hard to say, but these are the people the Republican Party don\u2019t seem to be interested in be.<\/line><\/p>\n

Maybe it is they just take them for granted, assume that those voters are always going to be there while they openly make tracks to the Hispanic community, They try and secure more of those people and alienate people in the process. But from Public Policy Polling. And I know it\u2019s a left-wing bunch, so we take that into account, but here is the latest number for Public Policy Polling. Trump\u2019s favorable with Hispanics versus Jeb Bush favorables with Hispanics. Who do you think is in the lead in this category? <\/p>\n

It ought to be Jeb. It\u2019s gonna be Jeb Bush going away, right? Not so much because of anything that\u2019s happened, just because what we know about formulas. We know the Republican Party\u2019s making great strides, made great efforts to appeal to Hispanic voters, and Jeb Bush has long been known as someone the Republican Party thinks Hispanic voters would actually flock to and love. <\/p>\n

Well, as we speak, Donald Trump\u2019s favorables with Hispanics are at 34%; Jeb Bush\u2019s are at 31%. That number of Trump\u2019s leads the Republican field. “Media Research\/TV.org blog,” this is a Public Policy Polling poll, “Trump leads the Republican field among Hispanics 34% favorability. Jeb Bush is next at 31%.” Now, I know it\u2019s early, and any and all of this could change, but the thing to keep in mind is that this Trump candidacy has gone in stages here, folks.<\/p>\n

From, “He\u2019s never gonna get in,” to, “Okay, he got in, but he\u2019s not gonna stay. He\u2019s just doing this for show! He\u2019s just trying to hype somebody. He\u2019s gonna see out of the this in a couple weeks,” to, “Well, we didn\u2019t realize he\u2019s gonna stay in this long, but he\u2019s gonna screw up. He\u2019s not a professional like we are and he doesn\u2019t understand our business. He\u2019s gonna step in it at some point and that will be it, and then we can get down to business.”<\/p>\n

And then he stepped in it, except he didn\u2019t. They thought he was gone after this McCain contretemps. I, a lone voice across the fruited plain and the purple mountain majesty, was telling everybody, “It\u2019s not what you keep saying. Trump is not behaving according to the rules here. He\u2019s not apologizing, not begging forgiveness. He\u2019s doubling down. You watch. People are gonna love this.” <\/p>\n

His numbers grew. Now, is, “Well, he\u2019ll be out by September, by the time school starts. He\u2019s not gonna last.” I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s happening now. Republicans and Democrats are alike are beginning to ask themselves, “Have we been wrong from the get-go? Does this guy really want to win.” Gulp! Gulp! “Does he really…? What?
