Merry Christmas Rush<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not a small group that listens to Rush Limbaugh, or gets their daily \u201cnews\u201d from \u201cFox and Friends.\u201d It is in the millions, nearly thirteen million weekly listeners for Rush, and one and a half million morning Fox viewers. That\u2019s a lot of Americans, and for the President of the United States, that\u2019s a lot of Americans who agree with him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mueller Investigation has placed the Trump Presidency under a microscope. Already several of the \u201cPresident\u2019s Men\u201d are convicted felons, clearly more are coming under scrutiny. Who knows when the next \u201cshoe will drop\u201d from the Special Counsel, perhaps members of the President\u2019s own family are soon to be in the dock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Democratic House of Representatives will join-in come January, taking away Trump\u2019s biggest defenders, the Freedom Caucus. No longer will Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, and Trey Gowdy be able to distract with Hillary\u2019s emails or Stzrok\u2019s love notes; now it\u2019s going to be all Trump, all the time. Intelligence, Judiciary, and Oversight Committees are just a few that will be sending subpoenas and demanding answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President\u2019s only choice is to maintain strict control of his base. The support of the \u201cTrumpers\u201d allows him to blackmail the rest of the Republican Party. His control is so great that the Republican National Committee is going to merge with the Trump 2020 campaign (and we thought the Democrats were bad to Bernie.) It\u2019s kept Speaker Ryan in line; he is willing to end his Speakership in a government shutdown. He can\u2019t do much more than laugh (not so funny to the millions impacted.) The President\u2019s got them all by the votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So when Rush and the \u201cguys\u201d on Fox and Friends speak, the President needs to listen. He can\u2019t afford any cracks in his base. He sold his base on a single concept, from the moment his came down the golden escalator in Trump Tower back in 2015 and announced his candidacy: WALL. (Somewhere, somehow, we lost the articles that go with it, it\u2019s not THE WALL or A WALL or SOME WALL, it\u2019s simply WALL, the way a two-year old would say it. Secretary of Homeland Security Neilsen even stated it that way in Congressional testimony; \u201c\u2026we need WALL.\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n WALL started out as \u201cthe Great WALL of Trump\u201d like the Great Wall of China: a shining concrete edifice that would stretch from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. And, of course, for some inextricable reason Mexico would pay for it. No matter that it wasn\u2019t the best way to secure the border, or that it would destroy many natural wonders along the way, or that it would take thousands of acres of private property, or that the President of Mexico said \u201cF**K no we\u2019re not paying for it.\u201d Trump sold his base WALL, and now he has to deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rush Limbaugh and Fox and Friends may have a better understanding of the future than the President. After two years of not being able to get WALL through a Republican controlled House and Senate, now the House, where WALL got the most support, is going to be Democratic. It\u2019s WALL now or never!!!!! When President Trump went along with his Congressional leaders and agreed to sign a continuing resolution pushing WALL debate into February, Rush and \u201cthe Friends\u201d raised \u201cHELL.\u201d So, after sending Vice President Pence to the Senate to reassure them that the \u201cclean CR\u201d was fine, and that they could vote and go home; Trump woke up to \u201cHELL\u201d on his favorite shows. Rush was screaming from his studio just down the road from Trump\u2019s Mar-A-Lago home, and the \u201cFriends\u201d were scourging Sarah Huckabee Sanders from New York on the morning show. How could the President let this chance go by to get WALL?<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not a sign of Presidential strength, but weakness. The President of the United States is under investigation, abandoned by \u201cthe adults\u201d in the White House, and looking at possible impeachment. He\u2019s only got Don Jr., Jared, Ivanka, Eric and his base, a base represented by Rush and Fox. Now no matter what he told the Senate, Mitch or Mike; he has to make a stand for WALL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The government didn\u2019t have to shut down.\u00a0\u00a0There was a deal on the table before Trump made his public spectacle with Leaders Pelosi and Schumer.\u00a0\u00a0$1.6 billion for \u201cborder improvements,\u201d the Dems could call it repairs, the President could say he got WALL.\u00a0\u00a0That deal is still on the table, though Dems are now strengthened by the President\u2019s actions.\u00a0\u00a0He\u2019s GOT to WIN, for Rush, Fox and his base.\u00a0\u00a0So he\u2019s got to get something, and the Dems will get more in return.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019ll happen, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe as a Christmas miracle.\u00a0\u00a0But it will happen, and Dems will get a present they didn\u2019t expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Merry Christmas Rush \u2013 you\u2019ve delivered again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
