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

RUSH: Okay, you\u2019ve probably heard this before. This is not by any means my idea, my creation. I\u2019m going to remind you of it again. Say we decide that we\u2019ve tried compromise, we\u2019ve tried working together, we\u2019ve tried bipartisanship. It just doesn\u2019t work. And so what we decide to do is give the Democrats half the country and the Republicans half of the country. We draw a line somewhere down the middle of the country, doesn\u2019t matter where we draw the line. <\/p>\n

On one side of the line, everybody is Republican. On the other side of the line, everybody is Democrat. <\/p>\n

How long is it gonna be before people want to cross over and who is it that will be first to cross over to the other side? There\u2019s no question about it. The arrangement would not work because the Democrats would try to climb over the wall within a week. And it would become an immigration problem that we Republicans would have. We\u2019d put Sheriff Arpaio in charge of it. But I don\u2019t think it would work. I think the Democrats, they would dig tunnels, they would grab onto drones, they\u2019d fly drones over the border, whatever they could, because, and I dare say, there are few — and everybody volunteers, by the way. You get to volunteer what side you\u2019re gonna live on. You\u2019re not assigned, if you\u2019re Republican, you go there. Say you\u2019re a Republican, that\u2019s where you go. Say you are a Democrat, liberal, you go over there. <\/line><\/p>\n

Independents gotta choose, moderates gotta choose a side, you can\u2019t live half the time in both places. You\u2019ve got to choose. And there\u2019s no question what would happen. The Democrats would be the first to try to escape their half of the country. What percentage of the people living on the Democrat side of the country would even work? And of those that do work, how many of them would be willing to share what they get? <\/p>\n

You\u2019d have an exodus. The plan wouldn\u2019t last a year, and there\u2019s no doubt about that. I don\u2019t care who you pose this to, and, meanwhile, if things are as they are now, I don\u2019t know — there might be some screwball Republicans that want to change sides \u2019cause they figure they chose wrong in the first place, who knows, but it wouldn\u2019t be anywhere like the mass exodus of Democrats to the Republican half of the country. <\/line><\/p>\n

And you know who\u2019d be leaving. What kind of Democrats would be the first to try to get… (interruption) Nah, not the politicians. The rich. Rich Democrats would be the first to leave. (interruption) Well, it is the politicians. They\u2019d be the first to leave, but then what would they do? The minute they got to the Republican side, they\u2019d start trying to corrupt it, just like the Yankees leaving the north, going to the south today do. They leave liberalism \u2019cause they can\u2019t pay their property taxes, the income taxes. They take their liberalism, they go to these states like Texas and Florida and other places where there\u2019s no income tax states, and they demand everybody live the way they want \u2019em to live. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
