RUSH: It’s Andy in Indianapolis. Welcome, sir. Great to have you with us. Hi.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. I disagree with you about the mainstream media. I really don’t think they want to get rid of Donald Trump. I don’t think that’s their objective, because they need him for their ratings. He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to CNN, Jim Acosta, PMSNBC. And they would really tank if he were to leave or not get reelected in 2020.
RUSH: Well, now, when you say not get reelected, let me address this. I understand what you’re saying. In fact, Jeff Zucker, who is the president and lead commandant at CNN, lead comrade, has said that without Trump our ratings bite. He’s admitted it.
I’m gonna tell you something. That may be Zucker, but do not doubt me, the effort to overturn the 2016 election results is real, it is real today, it has been real the past two years, and the rank-and-file in the Drive-By Media from the Acostas to any of the other reporters, are looking at this as a challenge to their power and their ability. They want to get rid of Trump before the 2020 election.
Do you think the Democrats are not serious about impeaching Trump and packing him and sending him away? And the media’s right in there with ’em. I know your theory about Trump is too good for the ratings and so forth, but the despise him! It’s not just generational. This is a class thing. They are, in their minds, members of the Washington political class elite, and Trump is an interloper and an intruder, and he’s not welcome.
They cannot disguise the hate they have for him. They’re benefiting from him in a whole lot of different ways in terms of ratings and this, that, and the other thing. And I think as time has gone on, they’ve grown more accustomed to the fact that he’s there and thus have tailored the way they deal with him on a daily basis.
But do not doubt for a moment that from the top of the Democrat Party on down to the media — I should say from the top of the media on down to the Democrat Party — the objective is to nullify the 2016 election results by way of either paralyzing Trump or getting rid of him.
It’s personal. It is deeply, deeply personal. It is visceral, and it is full-fledged, undisguised, raw, poisonous hatred that they harbor for the guy. They look at it as a contest between themselves and him as to who actually is the more powerful. And if they could force Trump out of office or if they could cause something terribly humiliating that would just embarrass Trump and make it impossible for him to appear in public, they would be the happiest they have been since they got rid of Richard Nixon.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Carl in Charleston, South Carolina. Hi. Great to have you here.
CALLER: Mega dittos from the Low Country. Good afternoon, sir.
RUSH: Hey, great to be here, have you from the Low Country.
CALLER: Yeah. Come on up and play golf sometime.
RUSH: (chuckles)
CALLER: Hey, I’ve postulated for a while this whole impeachment thing.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: I hadn’t heard anybody mention this. I think it’s simply tit-for-tat. “You did one of ours, and we’re, by God, gonna do one of yours,” end of story.
RUSH: Oh, I don’t think there’s any question that that’s a factor. I think you are exactly right. I think these people have been chomping at the bit, and don’t forget… (chuckling) Don’t forget Merrick Garland. They are still seething over Merrick Garland, Obama’s last Supreme Court nominee, not being voted on or even given a hearing. They’re still bringing that up. In fact, I heard… Somebody thinks… Oh, somebody a couple days ago told me that they think Trump could make it be a great move if the next opening he nominated Merrick Garland.
Because that might convince some leftist voters out there that Trump’s not that bad a guy. I said, “No, it doesn’t work that way!” “But he voted with Kavanaugh like 90% of the time.” Doesn’t work that way! Obama appointee? Trump might as well shoot himself in the foot if he does that! But getting for the Clinton impeachment? Make no bones about it. This getting Trump thrown out of office. They can’t stand that Gore didn’t win in 2000.
Much of what motivates, animates, and informs the left and the Democrats is reciprocity, as they see it. Anyway, Carl, thanks for the call. I appreciate it.
CNN is still sore about losing the election in 2016
Rush has a point. The Nixon Coup was about power. If Trump successfully defies the State-Run Media, other pols might get ideas.
Forget the drive bys. What about the deep state, who wants them out?
Do you, Limbaugh?
It was, but there was also a vengeance component. Remember in the '68 election Nixon beat their Anointed One, but then it was Hubert Humphrey and not Hillary Clinton. But it came down to a fraction of a point in the PV but a wider margin in the EV. Similar to the 2016 outcome. Back then it was Get Nixon. Now its Get Trump. For the 'Rats, hatred is a multigenerational trait. Its in their genes, as sure as body type and eye color.
Don’t forget, Nixon defeated Helen Gahagan Douglas in 1950 for California senator. They had it in for him ever since.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Gahagan_Douglas
In a race that was remembered as one of the most vicious in California political history, Nixon’s charges were intentionally directed towards the character assassination of Gahagan Douglas.[18] Nixon implied that she was a Communist “fellow traveler” by comparing her votes to those of the far-left, pro-Soviet Representative Vito Marcantonio, and deployed anti-Semitic surrogates to call on voters to reject her because her husband, Melvyn, was Jewish.[18]
The establishment hates him because they can’t control him and are terrified about what he might reveal to the people.
They are also terrified that their power is slipping.
.... Jeff Zucker, who is the president and lead commandant at CNN, lead comrade, has said that without Trump our ratings bite. He’s admitted it...
How could the ratings tank more than they already have?
Additionally, Nixon was instrumental in the exposure of Alger Hiss, the favorite of the State Department elite who had infested that agency since the New Deal, as a Soviet agent. The liberals wanted their revenge and obtained it in 1974, when Nixon resigned under threat of conviction on the impeachment charges.
Are you implying he doesn't? Maybe you could be more specific?
So you've been trolling Tucker Carlson and now Rush?
What's your objective troll?
They would be doing this to any conservative in office. Imagine how much easier it would be with anyone other than Trump.
The SES (Senior Executive Service) is the problem. Think Rosenstein, James Baker, et.al.
They are “the Deep State” that was created in 1978 under the Civil Service Reform Act. Another one of Jimmy Carter’s achievements that keeps on giving.
so many betrayers will be hung from lampposts that more lampposts will have to be built for the task
-
leftists lie as easily as they breath
-
leftists loyalty is only to themselves
“”The establishment hates him because they can’t control him and are terrified about what he might reveal to the people.

“”
when the rat (leftist) turns and bares its teeth at you, you hit it with a shovel (or get a proper cat -> trump)
