CNN Panic! Senate, House Races Tightening
RushLimbaugh.com ^ | October 2, 2018 | Rush Limbagh

RUSH: Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill-seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain. I am the famous and well-known Rush Limbaugh. Not “right-wing radio talk host Rush Limbaugh;” just the famous and well-known Rush Limbaugh. And I have been doing this a long time. And that means I have a lot of perspective and I bring a lot of experience. And I’m going to share and apply it to practically everything we do today as I do each and every day.

Greetings. Great to have you with us. If you want to be on the program, the telephone number is 800-282-2882. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us. Could the pollsters once again have it all wrong? Could the pollsters be mistaken or could they be lying to us? That will be my focus for the initial parts of the program today.

First, President Trump in Johnson City, Tennessee, a rally last night. Interestingly, none of the cable channels covered it wall-to-wall as they usually do, but that’s not a big deal. I had people sending me notes. “Fox isn’t even covering it, Rush! What’s up?” Doesn’t matter. These are local events, folks. They’re local events. They are intended… These Trump rallies are intended to influence local voting, local interest, local participation.

“Campaign Estimates 20,000 Trump Supporters at Massive Overflow Rally in Tennessee — Trump’s new campaign manager Brad Parscale estimated that there were 20,000 people at the rally — 7,000 inside the arena, 2,000 in the overflow room, and thousands outside. ‘Big numbers!’ he exclaimed on Twitter. Rep. Phil Roe of Tennessee said 92,000 had requested tickets to the event. Some supporters arrived Sunday night to stake their position in the line.”

That’s like a new iPhone release!

“The rally was held at the Freedom Hall Civic Center, with large screens set up by the campaign for the overflow crowd. ‘Watching outside on the big screen with all these fine folks is still better than watching at home!!!’ wrote one Trump supporter…” Another tweeter wrote, “‘Trying to estimate precise crowd size was impossible on the ground, as the line snaked various ways up and down the hill, around the parking lots, etc. But I’d still place it as enough to fill at least one and probably two more Freedom Halls.'”

So 92,000 tickets requested, 20,000 people in attendance in little Johnson City, Tennessee. What’s going on here? How does that translate to any kind of a blue wave? Now, I realize it’s Tennessee, maybe Trump country and so forth. But it does not suggest that there’s any lack of enthusiasm on the Republican side. Now, let’s go to the audio sound bites, and we’re gonna start with audio sound bite No. 1 here. We have CNN sounding the alarm.

House races are tightening! CNN says there could be a GOP wave in the Senate and that Kavanaugh is energizing Republicans. The show is CNN’s Newsroom. The cohost, Jim Sciutto, was asking their senior politics writer, Harry Enton, about CNN polls on various Senate races that are within or close to the margin of error. The question: “Polls are tightening out there…” No, the question was (impression), “Oh, my God! Oh, no. Oh-ho, no, Harry! The polls are tightening? (hyperventilating) Oh, my God. No! What does that tell you? (sputtering) What — what — what’s going on, Harry?”

ENTON: There are so many races that are within the margin of error.

SCIUTTO: Mmmph!

ENTON: Missouri, Nevada, Tennessee, Florida. The list go on his and on and on. We have all of these close races which means we have a best estimate about what might happen in the Senate come November, but it really could be a Democratic wave but or a Republican waves if the polls are off in one direction or —

SCIUTTO: (shocked) Republican wave in the Senate — in the House? (sputtering)

ENTON: In the Senate. Not in the House.

RUSH: Republican wave in the Senate? Oh, no! That means no impeachment of Trump. Well, that means an impeachment if the Democrats get the House. Don’t think so, but if they do, it would die in the Senate unless there’s a bunch of Jeff Flake clones in there ’cause they would never vote to convict if the Republicans hold the Senate or even swell the ranks. So the paniced host, Jim Sciutto, couldn’t believe what he heard there, “Red wave in the Senate?” He says, “There was discussion of a blue wave, big generic ballot advantage for Democrats. Do you notice a tightening there as we get closer to the election?”

ENTON: I will say the generic ballot does seem to be tightening a little bit which —

Polls were designed to keep GOP turnout home & discouraged.

Tightening? That’s what you call it when the R’s pull out ahead of the D’s and start running away?

The polls were never in the Dems favor. Do they really think they are going to vote to go back to Obama when people are making more money?

I posit that the HOUSE results will be a big shock to a lot of people. Polls vastly underestimate conservatives. We just need to make sure we have vigilant poll watchers on the look out for fraud.

I think the Kavanaugh circus has served to pi$$ a lot of conservatives off. My wife and I are very motivated to vote.

He’s no dummy. He likes his highly-paid job and would like to hang on to it. I don’t envy him. Tough balance to strike and the rules are always changing.

The worm ate the bottom out of the Dem bucket.
