WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Dec 08, 2020

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>On Sunday, Political reported on a sad plight of Democrats

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>in Iowa and elsewhere. Besides getting rid of Trump, as

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Democrats believe they've done, the party had an unhappy ending

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>in the elections. Their dreams of winning back state houses fizzled,

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>and not only did they fail to win the US

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Senate outright, they almost lost the House of Representatives. Political

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>reports that the Democrat Party's disastrous election night showing has

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.639
<v Speaker 1>left Iowa Democrats on edge. They're doing a lot of

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.239
<v Speaker 1>soul searching. Supposedly, Senator Joni earns To was said to

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.639
<v Speaker 1>be in the fight of her life. Clawberd her Democrat

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>opponent by seven points. President Trump trounced Biden by eight points.

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Iowa Democrats lost one House seat, barely hung on to

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>their other one. None of this was predicted by poles

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>or pundits who expected a blue wave. This raises one

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest questions of all, How is it that

0:00:55.160 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the Republican Party did so well, exceeding all expectations? How

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>did the Republicans manage to gain or hold on two

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>seats they were supposed to lose at every level of

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the electorate, with the only exception being the most popular

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Republican in the country, President Trump. Well, there's an easy answer.

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.199
<v Speaker 1>President Trump had a great night too until on edge

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Democrats made sure he didn't by giving themselves a ballot

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>machine edge. And that's why they're on edge. They're just

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>waiting to get caught.
