After Two Years of Attacks, Trump’s the Biggest Star in the World
RUSH: Donald Trump is bigger than Steve Jobs. Donald Trump is the biggest star in the world today. And do not doubt me. It grates. It grates on everyone. I don't know how many Washington political class members get all concerned about the stardom, but the popularity and the name recognition, everything they seek, the power, the adulation from supporters, Donald Trump has it, and they don't.
A Deep Divide on Prosecuting “Sex Symbol” Comey
RUSH: Here's another interesting set of polling numbers from Rasmussen Reports: "66% of Republicans say that Comey should be prosecuted for leaking to the media." Do you think that anybody in the Democrat Party or in the Drive-By Media ever even thinks that Comey is on the wrong side of anything? There is no way! There was a story yesterday: "Comey Has Become a Beltway Sex Symbol."
Establishment Washington Lives in a World of Delusions Over Hillary’s Loss and Trump’s Victory
RUSH: I think it's probably true that Trump voters are enraged and angry about what they see and are not now thinking of abandoning Trump. It's not the thing. However, there remains the very real thing. I mean, you expect Trump to do things. I mean, you didn't elect him to go there just to have the media and establishment illustrate who they are. You elected Trump because you thought what Trump was gonna do needed to be done.
How Did Hodgkinson Get Radicalized by the Left?
RUSH: Nobody that ran into this nutcase thought he was a nutcase. This is what's dangerous about it. Nobody thought he was anything other than your average, ordinary, run-of-the-mill radical leftist, which means mainstream Democrat. Read the guy's Facebook page. Read his letters to the editor. He sounds just like any one of countless panel members on discussion panels on CNN. He could sit in for Gergen one night and they wouldn't miss a beat. He could host Rachel Maddow's show, and the show wouldn't miss a beat content-wise.
Media Desperately Tries to Shift Away from Leftist Shooter and onto Flimsy Trump Obstruction Narrative
RUSH: This guy was a mainstream leftist. If you go to his Facebook page like I said yesterday, you go to his Facebook page, it reads exactly like the way a CNN panel discussion on Trump sounds. Everywhere you go and read what this guy has written, letters to the editor, Facebook posts, he sounds just like anybody you would hear on the media. He sounds like Rachel Maddow. He sounds like Jake Tapper. He sounds like F. Chuck Todd. Just as normal a leftist as you can be.
It’s Astounding! Some People on Our Side Actually Believed the Russia Narrative
RUSH: It's important for me to say this before getting into what I have discovered here and found is astounding. I never for a fleeting moment — I don't know how else to say this — I never believed any of this crap that the Russians colluded with Trump, colluded with Flynn, Sessions, anybody. I never believed a scintilla of the charge that the Russians had anything to with the outcome of our election.
