RUSH MORNING UPDATE SCROLL :
On the morning of November 8th – one year ago – liberals were giddy
with anticipation. Everything pointed toward victory. The polls and the
Big Data showed Hillary Clinton winning in a big landslide. The day
began with predictions that Trump’s presidential aspirations were
doomed. His chances of reaching the Oval Office were said to be between
seven and 29 percent.
In addition to breaking the so-called glass-ceiling, Hillary Clinton’s
election meant Barack Obama’s legacy was safe. President Hillary would
keep her promise to protect it. Yes, the morning of November 8th – one
year ago – was a good one for liberal Democrats.
On the evening of November 8th – one year ago – there was an air of
happy confidence throughout the Drive-By Media. As the polls began to
close it was obvious the stories were already written; the coverage had
been mapped out in advance.
Media liberals were thrilled. Their unrelenting pounding of Donald
Trump was about to pay off. Some establishment Republicans were also
giddy. The Never Trumpers, their hatred of the outsider would be
vindicated, and even if it meant an election loss, their hold on the
party would remain intact.
At 2:40 a.m. the morning of November 9th – one year ago – it was all
over. The giddiness collapsed into waves of despondency, tears, gloom,
and anger. A year later the fury remains. The rest of the country,
however, was celebrating. A year later, we still are. Thank you,
Russians.
END RUSH MORNING UPDATE
RUSH: So I ad-libbed that at the end of that update, “Thank you,
Russians,” and I asked the staff, “Do you think we should pull that out
before it airs?” “Oh, no. You gotta leave that in. You gotta tweak ’em,
tweak ’em, leave it in.” So we left it in. “Thank you, Russians.” And
now a summit between Trump and Putin to determine if there’s gonna be
cheating again, that Putin make it less obvious next time, as a summit
example.
I just love tweaking ’em. I just do. And I know that even though
they’re not gonna react to it, they’re gonna see it, they’re gonna hear
about it, and they’re just gonna fume. I mean, this is one of their
sacred — I mean, this would be sort of like laughing at one of the 12
disciples. You don’t make fun of the Trump-Russian collusion. That’s
just too serious because they’ve got everything they know hanging on
that, so I just love ramming it down their orifices.

accompaning comments and pictures are a nice bonus. |
