RUSH: According to the usual conventional wisdom, it's now after Labor Day, which means the campaign has really begun, which means that Trump is in the lead, in no less than a CNN poll. He's up by two points, it's margin of error. This is stunning when you consider the firepower in what I call the Summer of Hate.
RUSH: Let's review some of it things that happened just while I was gone. I think to put this in context might be a wise thing to do. We supposedly have the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer where everybody takes off and it's a two-or-three month period of relaxation and vacation and whatever. That's not at all what we have just completed here.
RUSH: Phyllis Schlafly was tough. Phyllis Schlafly was demanding. When it came to the principles of conservatism, she harbored no infiltrators. She harbored nobody insincere about it, and she was able to identify those who were trying to capitalize on it but were not sincere about it. She could spot them a mile away.
RUSH: I think celebrity is a factor. But there are clear substantive reasons why Trump beat all these people.
RUSH: Did you see the two episodes of Hillary coughing in Cleveland? One at the plane and one at the appearance in Cleveland. People are joking about this. Obviously a presidential campaign and people are having fun with it. But something's not right here. There's something that's potentially really, really wrong. In fact, I'm gonna tell you something, after I watched the videotape of Clinton in Cleveland, I actually started asking myself, "Who on her staff allowed that to continue? Who put her out there?"
RUSH: So I checked the email during the break. It's typical. This guy says, "So what's the big deal what Clinton said back in 1995? Clinton says the same thing on immigration in '95 as Trump, so what, Rush?" I'll tell you so what. He got a standing ovation for it in 1995. How many years ago is that? Twenty-two? Twenty-two years ago. The American people were so fed up with illegal immigration that the president of the United States was echoing their sentiments. We had to start mass deportation. We had to stop welfare benefits. We had to secure the border. And it was roundly supported and applauded. Nothing happened.
RUSH: Did you notice also that Trump spoke to them as Trump? What do I mean by that? Well, let's listen to how Hillary Clinton speaks when she goes to a black church...
RUSH: Folks, we are a segregated media. We are a segregated country and we have a segregated media. We have the conservative media, the New Media, whatever, and we have the Drive-Bys, the old mainstream media, and they're still the big ones. They are still the majority media. And, in fact, the existence, starting in 1988, of this New Media, of the conservative media I think has hardened the Drive-By and mainstream media. I think it's made them even more biased and more openly biased and more openly confrontational and more openly supportive than they ever have been before.
