RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m getting nervous.\u00a0 I am already getting nervous.\u00a0 I know it’s early.\u00a0 I’m not getting nervous because of anything I’ve heard President-Elect Trump say.\u00a0 I’m getting nervous because of things I’m hearing other people say, things totally unnecessary.\u00a0 And I want to take some time today to try to explain why I’m nervous and destroy some myths that seem to always pop up after elections about unity and crossing the aisle and working together and almost apologizing for winning.<\/p>\n

I’m sick of it.\u00a0 I’m fed up with it.\u00a0 I have watched it happen for now 29 years, and I’m not gonna sit here and stand or sit mute while it happens again.\u00a0 We have been governed against our will for the last eight years.\u00a0 The Democrat Party — and nobody saw this, folks — because everybody was so focused on two people, Hillary and Donald Trump. Nobody, I mean nobody until after it was over, had any idea what had really happened.<\/p>\n
We should have known it because we’ve been chronicling it.\u00a0 I’m talking about the demise of the Democrat Party.\u00a0 The Democrat Party since 2010, the midterm elections in 2010, they lost 900 seats in that election in the House, in the Senate, go to governorships, mayors, town council, if you go all over the country, they got a shellacking.\u00a0 We now know that if Donald Trump had run for president in 2012 using the exact data he got versus what Obama got in 2012, Donald Trump would have beaten Obama in 2012, if you take the data from this election and measure it against what Obama had.<\/p>\n
Hillary Clinton got six million fewer votes than Barack Obama in 2012.\u00a0 In 2014, the next set of midterms, the Democrats lost another 700 seats.\u00a0 The Democrat Party has been decimated.\u00a0 They have no bench.\u00a0 They don’t have anybody bringing up the rear in case Hillary lost.\u00a0 They have literally been shellacked.\u00a0 We have been governed by a minority against our will, and the illusion has been that they are the majority and gaining the majority and growing the majority.<\/p>\n
The illusion has been that we are the ones dwindling away to nothing, and it’s been the exact opposite.\u00a0 The pollsters didn’t miss anything.\u00a0 They didn’t get anything wrong.\u00a0 They just didn’t tell us the truth about what they were seeing in these polls.\u00a0 You go back and look at it now.\u00a0 The data there was.\u00a0 They, exactly as I asked on the day of the election, if we’re not gonna believe them all of these months when they report the news, why believe the polls that they produce?<\/p>\n
They didn’t miss anything.\u00a0 What they’re doing by saying, “Man, how did we miss it? Oh, my God, we’ve gotta go back and examine it.”\u00a0 They didn’t miss it.\u00a0 They didn’t tell the truth.\u00a0 They weren’t honest about what they were finding.\u00a0 They weren’t honest about trying to find what was actually going on.\u00a0 The idea they don’t know who Trump voters are — BS.\u00a0 They know exactly who the Trump voter is.\u00a0 They ignored them.\u00a0 They impugned them.\u00a0 They knew exactly where the Trump supporter was coming from and they chose to ignore it.\u00a0 They chose to report that it didn’t exist.\u00a0 They chose to report that it wasn’t relevant.<\/p>\n
So now we have all these riots going on, exactly as I predicted. And, folks, aside from these little snowflakes that are melting on campus today, the kids, all of these riots that you’re seeing in New York and Philadelphia and Chicago and Los Angeles are bought and paid for.\u00a0 They are not real in terms of springing up genuinely and organically.\u00a0 We know that all of the protests at Trump rallies were bought and paid for primarily by George Soros, by the Democrat Party.\u00a0 We are still being treated by the media to a picture of America that isn’t true.\u00a0 They want you to believe that a majority of Americans is fit to fit to be tied and angry over the election of Donald Trump and as one of which we can never unify unless Trump caves on everything in order to get peace.\u00a0 That’s what they’re trying to make everybody think, and that’s what’s making me nervous, when I hear so many on our side talk about now the need to cross the aisle and the need to unify.<\/p>\n The time to unify is after we have forced them into surrender just like we did the Japanese in World War II.\u00a0 But the days of unifying with the losers because they’re mad and we don’t want the media saying mean things about us, they lost.\u00a0 And, folks, they have been losing since 2010.\u00a0 Obama would not have won his two elections were it not for his race.\u00a0 I am convinced that his approval numbers — people say, “Rush, how can you say what you’re saying.\u00a0 Obama’s got 53% approval.”<\/p>\n No, he doesn’t.\u00a0 His policies were unilaterally rejected in this election, folks.\u00a0 The presidency of Barack Obama was sent packing.\u00a0 That is exactly what was on the ballot, and we have with his own words if you recall.\u00a0 Part of his campaign — his ego couldn’t help it — he’s out there campaigning (imitating Obama), “My legacy is all about this. My issues are on the ballot.\u00a0 Hillary Clinton represents a continuation of everything and all the progress we made.”<\/p>\n All of our Never Trumpers and all of our wishy-washy RINOs are so self-absorbed with what’s wrong in their own party and who’s traitorous in their own movement that they were not paying attention to the real enemy — in a political sense, of course — and that’s the Democrats and the left.\u00a0 And once you look at what has happened to them 2010, 2014, and Tuesday of this week, they have been sent packing.\u00a0 Their policies, the substance of what they tried to do, the substance of what they say they believe, things like Obamacare, the stimulus, various economic policy, it has all been repudiated, and not because of personality.\u00a0 It’s because of substance.<\/p>\n Six million fewer Democrats showed up to vote for a person who thought she was going to be coronated, so loved and adored we were told she was by the Democrat Party.\u00a0 She had to steal her own nomination from Bernie Sanders.\u00a0 Folks, we are lied to every day by the Democrat Party, which is the media.\u00a0 We are lied to about how we are viewed in the country.\u00a0 We are lied to about how they are viewed.\u00a0 We are lied to about how the country loves their policies and loves them.\u00a0 We are lied to each and every day, and it is the daily soap opera that I have warned about and talked about that the media gets together and scripts, the daily narrative.<\/p>\n As far as I’m concerned, Colin Kaepernick is a nonperson and doesn’t serve one second more of media coverage, which raises a question: Why did he get any media coverage in the first place?\u00a0 What was it?\u00a0 Colin Kaepernick used to be a great quarterback.\u00a0 Now he has fallen to, basically… He’s a bad quarterback.\u00a0 There’s nothing worth watching when Colin Kaepernick takes the field, unless you like car wrecks.\u00a0 Yet look at all the attention that the media gave him.<\/p>\n Why did they give him so much attention?\u00a0 What was he doing, really? When you get down to brass tacks, what was he doing?\u00a0 He was ripping America, and that’s what they liked, and that’s what they wanted to promote — and the American people have had their fill of this.\u00a0 The American people love their country and are sick and tired of people who hate it being celebrated and elevated and made celebrities and getting rich.\u00a0 They are sick and tired of it, and we have the election results to show for it on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Do not let it convince you that it wasn’t worth winning.\u00a0 Do not let it make you think that winning is not gonna amount to anything because look at how many Americans are unhappy. “Oh, my gosh, why can’t they join us?” It is being bought and paid for.\u00a0 Organized leftist protests the day after the election in seven cities?\u00a0 It’s not organic like Occupy Wall Street wasn’t organic.\u00a0 If it was, where is it now?\u00a0 Where is Occupy Wall Street?\u00a0 It served its purpose; it’s gone away?\u00a0 No, it hasn’t.\u00a0 This is Occupy Wall Street.\u00a0 This is Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n It’s all the same people, it’s all the same money, it’s all the same thinking. And Project Veritas videos exposed how the Democrat Party buys, pays for, and orchestrates this stuff.\u00a0 Here is me all the way back on June 30th on this program.\u00a0 And Politico was outraged by what I said here, and they wrote a story on July 1st expressing how they were outraged how anybody could dare say what I said, given the campaign as it was.<\/p>\n This is it.\u00a0 This is what I said.\u00a0 You probably heard it, June 30th of this year.<\/a><\/p>\n BEGIN ARCHIVE CLIP<\/p>\n RUSH: I want you to fast forward to November to Trump winning the presidency in November. And I want you to think, using your intelligence guided by experience, what’s gonna happen that night?\u00a0 What’s gonna happen the next day?\u00a0 What’s going to happen every day thereafter?\u00a0 What’s gonna happen the day Trump gets inaugurated?\u00a0 What is the left gonna do?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They’re not gonna just sit idly by and accept this and say, “Good fight.\u00a0 We gave it everything we had, but we lost.”\u00a0 They’re gonna do everything they can to undermine it.<\/p>\n It’s gonna take courage to implement the victory and then to maintain the victory and then to grow upon the victory.\u00a0 And I’m telling you, the left is gonna be out there attempting, in whatever fashion they can — whether it breaks the law or not — to thwart the results of the election should Trump win. … [M]y sense is that there isn’t gonna be any peace.\u00a0 There’s gonna be anger.\u00a0 There is going to be rage.\u00a0 There are gonna be lawsuits.<\/p>\n Everything about the victory is gonna be attacked.\u00a0 The Democrats will throw lawyers and who knows whatever else at that outcome demanding recounts here, recounts there, whatever. No matter how close it is.\u00a0\u00a0 No matter if it’s a landslide loss for Hillary Clinton. They just don’t put up with it, and they’re certainly not gonna be of the mind to put up with it in November.\u00a0 And it’s not just because it’s Trump.\u00a0 Trump will be icing on the cake.<\/p>\n END ARCHIVE CLIP<\/p>\n RUSH:\u00a0 ACLU has already announced they’re going to sue Trump.\u00a0 Folks, there is no desire for unity by the people on the left.\u00a0 It’s a trap, it’s a sucker play, and what makes me nervous is that we have Republicans who want to fall into that trap.\u00a0 I don’t know about Trump yet.\u00a0 Way too soon for that.\u00a0 This meeting he’s got with Obama’s going much, much longer than anybody thought.\u00a0 If it’s the Trump we know, Obama’s getting a ration for what he had said about Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner linked him to the KKK.\u00a0 We don’t know.<\/p>\n But it’s going on much longer.\u00a0 Media perplexed.\u00a0 The media thought it was gonna be a mere formulaic meeting, that Trump was gonna go out there and say, “Thank you! You’re a wonderful guy, Mr. Obama.\u00a0 So great to meet you!\u00a0 Thanks for letting me in the White House,” and then move on to a meeting with Republicans.\u00a0 They do not want unity.\u00a0 The protests, the college snowflakes melting before our eyes? They do not want unity.\u00a0 It is a sucker trap.<\/p>\n It’s a sucker play designed to get us to essentially act like we didn’t win.\u00a0 We’ve seen it before.\u00a0 We’ve seen the movie!\u00a0 Remember when we won the Senate and then said, “You know, it’s not fair! It’s not fair we should have majority,” and so we gave them essentially an extra vote so the Senate would be 50-50, trying to show the American people how open-minded and fair we can be.\u00a0 I made this prediction numerous times.\u00a0 Last October 21st made the prediction again<\/a>.<\/p>\n RUSH:\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 So everything I predicted is coming true, except the lawsuits and recounts.\u00a0 That hasn’t happened yet.\u00a0 It may not, but — and it was easy to predict.\u00a0 I’ve got more of this.\u00a0 But I want to delve deeper into the actual size of this Democrat loss and deeper into my fears about this business of unity.\u00a0 I don’t want any misunderstand.\u00a0 I’d love it if it were possible and it is, but not right now.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n Ladies and gentlemen, the Republican Party… Let me put this in perspective for you — and this is among the things that nobody saw, and stand by for even more delightful detail on this.\u00a0 The Republican Party is stronger in Washington than it has ever been since the 1920s!\u00a0 We have more power in Washington, DC — the Republican Party — than at any time since the 1920s.\u00a0 It is huge!\u00a0 The Republicans have expanded their… The Republicans didn’t; Donald Trump did.<\/p>\n Another key element here to keep in mind, for all the Never Trumpers, for all the wishy-washy RINO Republican types. They enjoy this power because one man decided to take on the illusion of this gigantic, unbeatable left.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: I don’t want to imply that I think their objections to Trump were not principled like some of them were.\u00a0 I think they were just misguided.\u00a0 But take a look many of the things that the conventional wisdom from the smart people, what they told us.\u00a0 In the first place, they told us Trump’s gonna lose in a landslide, doesn’t have a prayer.<\/p>\n Which means that we’re gonna lose the House and we’re gonna lose the Senate, and it’s just gonna end up being the absolute worst thing that could happen.\u00a0 We had smug predictions from writers and analysts and strategists on cable TV, bloggers, all of them arrogantly assuming that there was simply no way that Donald Trump could win, because he’s just a very coarse and uncouth individual. Just no way that he could win.\u00a0 And anybody that was on his side was also excoriated for betrayal, was a sellout not understanding what was at stake.<\/p>\n Well, not only were Democrat policies, not only was the Obama administration — the Democrat Party — repudiated, but so were a lot of the so-called intelligentsia on the right as well.\u00a0 This was gonna teach the Republican Party a lesson, and it was gonna learn once and for all, “You can’t listen to talk radio! You can’t do anything other than listen to the genuine intellectuals.\u00a0 They’re the ones that will guide you.” Now look at what’s happened.\u00a0 Look at what has happened.<\/p>\n We’re going to expand control of Congress, or keep it, in the case of the Senate, more governorships, and the Republican Party with more power in Washington than it has had since the 1920s, all because of one election.\u00a0 It’s amazing how nobody saw it! I didn’t.\u00a0 I mean, I didn’t see the full measure of impact, and I don’t think too many people did, either.\u00a0 That’s why there’s so much shock and surprise over what has happened.\u00a0 Now, I mentioned earlier that I’m getting nervous, and we’ve even got a guy on the phone who thinks I sound angry.<\/p>\n Is that what he said, Mr. Snerdley? The caller thinks I sound angry?\u00a0 Do I sound angry in there to you guys?\u00a0 Tell me! Tell me straight. Tell me… (interruption) Okay, the staff, highly paid to suck up (chuckling), is telling me that they… They don’t suck up. No, they don’t hear anger, ’cause they can see me, too, and so can you on the Dittocam.\u00a0 They hear passion.\u00a0 They know when I’m mad.\u00a0 Folks, my point is we’ve seen this movie. We’ve been here how many times?\u00a0 Go back to the 2002 midterms, you know, where we kept the House we were supposed to lose.<\/p>\n Any number of times where we’ve been victorious, the left, by rote, starts demanding unity, that we get rid of our differences, that we come together.\u00a0 But it always ends up being us that has to do it.\u00a0 They never have to change a damn thing about themselves, even and especially when they lose.\u00a0 No, it’s all up to us to compromise, to unify, to do whatever it is so they won’t be angry anymore, so their protesters can get off the streets and once again enjoy life.\u00a0 Why is there disunity in America in the first place?<\/p>\n Well, it’s natural when you have partisan politics as the governing system of the country, and it’s not gonna change. And as long as you have passionate people on both sides, you’re going to have partisan divides.\u00a0 And as long as both sides have people are never gonna compromise their principles, you’re always going to have a circumstance where there is never unity.\u00a0 The nation’s never been unified in the ways that people today are demanding it be unified anyway.\u00a0 It’s a pipe dream, something that sounds really wonderful to hope for.<\/p>\n For unity to take place, they would have to agree with us that Obamacare is a disaster <\/a>and help us get rid of it and put something in its place.\u00a0 They’re not gonna do that.\u00a0 Why, when they just got beat, they just got shellacked, when their entire agenda was repudiated and all because Trump put this stuff out there that he was going to get rid of Obamacare? Trump won!\u00a0 Why in the world should we, after victory, say, “Okay, we’ll leave it and we’ll let you guys come in and participate in the meetings that we’re gonna have to save it”?<\/p>\n It’s not how things would work if we lost.<\/p>\n There is disunity because the left views this as constant, never-ending war.\u00a0 We have tried. Our party, members of our party have tried to appease the Democrats and the left for as long as I have been doing this, and it never, ever works.\u00a0 It never makes the media less mean. It never causes Democrats to say they love us and like us more.\u00a0 Not that that matters, but it seems that some people want that to be the case.\u00a0 It never changes anything.\u00a0 But let’s looking at this as it actually was, as it actually happened.<\/p>\n All of this, I want you to keep in mind under the umbrella of “we should now unify.”\u00a0 Obama claimed that his legacy was on the ballot, claimed his policies and their being continued was on the ballot.\u00a0 His legacy. Hillary Clinton was charged with making sure the Obama legacy lived on.\u00a0 Obama himself put his legacy, his agenda, his entire administration on the ballot.\u00a0 Barack Obama campaigned saying, “Save my agenda.\u00a0 Save my legacy.”\u00a0 What happened?<\/p>\n It was totally repudiated.\u00a0 It was sent packing.\u00a0 The people of this country told the Obama agenda to take a hike.\u00a0 Barack Obama — and it’s certainly not politically correct to say this. Barack Obama has really damaged the Democrat Party, folks.\u00a0 If you look at all of the Democrat defeats starting in the 2010 midterms, and you add the number of seats they lost 2014, we’re up to about 1400 to 1600 electoral seats the Democrats have lost!<\/p>\n It’s so bad that Democrats in California won to secede from the nation — and many people are saying, “Let them.”\u00a0 These are the people demanding to sue for unity?\u00a0 They ought to be mad.\u00a0 They are mad.\u00a0 Their anger needs to be placed where it should be, and that’s on the shoulders of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, because those two people have single-handedly seen to it that the Democrat Party is its weakest since the 1920s.<\/p>\n It’s astounding what happened. \u00a0Governorships, Senate seats, House seats, mayors, city council, it’s incredible the number of seats Democrats have lost.\u00a0 And once again, as it was in 2010 and 2014, the Republicans are beneficiaries of what has taken place here, but you might come up short in calling them actual winners because it was Donald Trump that secured the victory on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Donald Trump has seen to this massive shift in power that nobody saw, nobody thought possible on our side.\u00a0 To me, Donald Trump shows what has been possible all along for the Republican Party.\u00a0 We could have won in 2008.\u00a0 In fact, the numbers have been run.\u00a0 We could have won.\u00a0 Trump, with the support that he got Tuesday, would have beaten Barack Obama in 2012.\u00a0 None of this had to happen.\u00a0 But too many of our people on our side thought it was unavoidable.\u00a0 Well, we had too much history against us. We had an African-American, the first, guy that spoke well, was intelligent.<\/p>\n But we didn’t oppose.\u00a0 We were afraid to oppose for a whole host of reasons that we have been through and named so there’s no need to repeat them.\u00a0 The history is what’s important.\u00a0 Had we opposed the Democrat agenda, we could have beaten it, as did happen this past Tuesday.\u00a0 We have not lost our country.\u00a0 We are the majority of the country, or very close to it.\u00a0 Since Obama became president, since the Democrats got on board his aggressively Big Government agenda, the Democrat Party has been routed across the country in both houses of Congress, in state and local governments.<\/p>\n When Obama’s policies are on the ballot, without him, the Democrats get shellacked.\u00a0 When he’s on the ballot with his policies, they win.\u00a0 So therefore it’s not his policies; it’s him and whatever he means to voters.\u00a0 And I think it’s simply that people are afraid to vote against him for fear that somebody might find out they voted against him and for fear that they think that will say to other people.\u00a0 I think it’s dominated by his race.\u00a0 There are other factors as well.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/\/media\/images2\/hillarywiki-leaks-hillary-101112\/1558487-1-eng-GB\/HillaryWiki-Leaks-Hillary-1011.jpg\")
<\/a>They’re bought and paid for, and we know this from the WikiLeaks email dumps from John Podesta<\/a>, and we know it from Project Veritas videos.<\/a><\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/\/media\/images2\/obamarejected-a\/1558525-1-eng-GB\/ObamaRejected-A.jpg\")
What happened?\u00a0 A total repudiation.\u00a0 That 53% approval rating is because of his race and for other surface-oriented factors, but not substance. And they use that 53%, and I’m not even sure I believe that number.\u00a0 That number doesn’t does make sense with the election results.\u00a0 The Democrat Party and the agenda of Barack Obama were entirely, totally repudiated in this election, as was the Democrat Party.\u00a0 It was a bloodbath.\u00a0 That is how bad it was.\u00a0 And what people are now learning, they didn’t know just how bad it was on the Democrat side.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/\/media\/images2\/hillaryjournalism7\/1558490-1-eng-GB\/HillaryJournalism.jpg\")
Look at Colin Kaepernick.\u00a0 Did you see what Colin Kaepernick did on Election Day?\u00a0 He didn’t vote!\u00a0 Here’s a guy who may be one of the primary reasons the audience levels in the NFL are plummeting to the cellar — here’s a guy who claims he’s doing it because of social justice, that he can’t stand to sit in a country and be in a country where minorities are so poorly treated — and on the one day where he really has something to say and do about it, he sits on his butt and doesn’t go vote.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/\/media\/images2\/democrats-hate-us4\/1558528-1-eng-GB\/democrats-hate-us.jpg\")
And we also have the plummeting fortunes of the Democrat Party to back it up.\u00a0 The Democrat Party happens to be the receptacle for anti-Americanism in America today.\u00a0 If you don’t like America and if you’ve got problems with America, that’s where you go.\u00a0 You go to the Democrat Party.\u00a0 It is undeniable.\u00a0 Now, I warned everybody about this rioting. I warned about it constantly.\u00a0 I want you to hear, because, folks, it isn’t real.\u00a0 I am begging you to ignore it.\u00a0 Do not let it affect you.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/\/media\/images2\/rushisrightshort\/1558522-1-eng-GB\/RushIsRightSHORT.jpg\")
And I think we’re gonna see levels of violence that we have not seen.\u00a0 I think people are gonna be shocked at the degree to which the left intends to intimidate people into reversing that result.\u00a0 I think they’re gonna do everything they can to see it that Trump never does get inaugurated.\u00a0 Whatever, it’s gonna be unlike anything. And the point here is that the election, if we win it, is just a small step forward.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It’s gonna take fortitude. It’s gonna take guts.\u00a0 It’s gonna take steel spines.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/\/media\/images2\/hackersrussian\/1558519-1-eng-GB\/HackersRussian.jpg\")
RUSH ARCHIVE:\u00a0 Let’s say Trump wins a narrow victory, say gets 285 electoral votes or 280, 275, whatever.\u00a0 Do you think they’re just get sit there and accept it for the honor of the tradition of accepting the election results? They’ve got themselves convinced, ’cause of their own polls, that they’re looking a landslide of Goldwater proportions here.\u00a0 They think Hillary may get 500 electoral votes. (laughing) If Trump… Folks, there will be rioting election night, and we will witness the dignified and accepting tradition of going with the outcome of an election as we have come to expect.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/\/media\/images2\/trumpcrowdaudience-hands-trump\/1558595-1-eng-GB\/TrumpCrowdAudience-Hands-TRUMP.jpg\")
So Trump was gonna lose big, and take the party down the tubes. He was gonna wipe out Republican majorities. The sky was falling! Massive landslides were coming.\u00a0 And many of them made these predictions happily.\u00a0 Many of them were very, very… They seemed enthusiastic or enthused to make these predictions, because I guess they thought that there was great opportunity for them in the aftermath of this being able to say, “See, we told you!\u00a0 You can continue to donate to us because we are the true keepers of the flame,” or what have you.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/\/media\/images2\/obamacaremediamontsinglepayer-rush-hope-he-fails3\/1558598-1-eng-GB\/ObamacareMediaMontSinglePayer-Rush-Hope-He-Fails.jpg\")
<\/a>And, by the way, it sounds really wonderful to say in the afterglow of an election, to talk about putting aside our differences and unifying. It sounds wonderful, and maybe that’s what Americans want to hear.\u00a0 I’m hoping it’s just what people think they have to say right now on our side.\u00a0 Look, there’s a headline in The Politico today: “Obamacare Defenders Vow ‘Total War.'”\u00a0<\/a> They’re not gonna lay down, folks.\u00a0 They’re not gonna unify.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/\/media\/images2\/goptrap\/1558589-1-eng-GB\/GOPTRAP.jpg\")

It was the Tea Party and the conservative movement in 2010 and 2014 in those midterm elections.\u00a0 The Republicans didn’t actually present an agenda; they represented the opposition.\u00a0 They represented the alternative choice.\u00a0 The Democrat Party has been rejected by whoever showed up to vote.\u00a0 You can talk about low turnout, I don’t care, but among those who showed up to vote — and Colin Kaepernick was not one of them — the Democrat Party has suffered defeat after defeat after defeat.<\/p>\n
