WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Sep 24, 2019

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Columnist Walter Shapiro is warning the Democrat presidential candidates they

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:07.480
<v Speaker 1>better be honest and they'd better stop playing the left

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:10.799
<v Speaker 1>wing extremists. He says, the candidates like Elizabeth Warren and

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Crazy Bernie better admit that they're big spending plans are

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.959
<v Speaker 1>not really gonna happen. They're just aspirational pie in the

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 1>sky ideas. They're not really policy blueprints. Mr Shapiro has

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>been around forever, by the way, says, Democrat presidential wannabes

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>have more plans than the Allies drew up for d Day.

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>And if these Democrats were to win the election, their

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>campaign promises would come back to bite them in the butt.

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.279
<v Speaker 1>The fringe cook base that these candidates are appealing to

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:42.599
<v Speaker 1>the Twitter verse actually will actually expect them to fulfill

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>all of these multi trillion dollar promises. And that's the rub.

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>If a progressive Democrat president actually tried to implement any

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of these plans, they would end up losing the House

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and Senate by a landslide in the next midterms, a

0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>replay of what happened when Democrats forced Obamacare down the

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>country's throat. So Mr Shapiro wants his beloved Democrat candidates

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 1>to play it safe. He wants them to set realistic

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>expectations so if one of them does make it to

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the White House, he or she will not be saddled

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>with big, empty socialist promises. Mr Shapiro relaxed at this rate.

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>Despite what the polls and you're drive by media buddies say,

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.199
<v Speaker 1>the chances are pretty slim any of these Democrats would

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>win a national election. You don't do that by telling

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody how much you hate the country.
