Ingraham: If Trump Wins in November, it Will Be a ‘Decapitation of Progressivism and...Another Repudiation of the Obama Legacy’
RUSH EXCERPT
INGRAHAM: "Yeah, Jesse, I think when you go back and you remember how absolutely floored the Democrats were after Trump won the November 2016. I mean, they had the fireworks ready for Hillary. They had chosen basically her entire cabinet, and so they were just — by what happened. When you look at the unmasking requests, and we don’t have the actual request which I would really like to see, but the sheer number of requests, all together I believe 50 requests, 39 officials across governments. Some of them were, you know, legitimate Intel people, but most of them were just partisans. They were obviously looking for the second installment of the insurance policy, to try to do something to counter what they knew was coming, which was someone is going to drain the swamp, and someone who is probably going to find out what they were up to the previous eight years, which was not a whole lot of good."
WATTERS: "Right. So they had to take a matter or else you would finger them for all the crimes they committed during the campaign. Do you think it goes back farther than that? I’m just wondering, remember the birth certificate thing with Trump and Obama? I mean I feel like it is personal. I think you are right, I think they had a mid life crisis when he won because they all thought they were going to get jobs and Supreme Court picks, and it was going to be a third Obama term, and they couldn’t come to grips with it, so they lost their minds and broke the law."
INGRAHAM: "Yeah, I think it is a little bit of both. I think you’re right to point out the personal aspect of this. Remember, President Obama is used to getting worshipped. He was worshipped at Harvard law school. He was treated like, you know, the second coming, as a first term senator. He gives one speech at the DNC in 2004 about red state, blue state, then he ends up being one of the most polarizing forces in American politics over his eight years. So he doesn’t — even though he’s a cool cat, and he’s a smart guy, he doesn’t like to be questioned. I mean, I guess no one who is president really likes to be questioned, but he really doesn’t like to be questioned, and Trump got under his skin, big-time. And I think he — they all knew Trump was going to expose him. They just knew it. And they couldn’t let that happen, or at least they they could blunt the force, and so that’s what the political ambush in motion."
WATTERS: "I’m wondering now, you talked about Barack Obama, what does this do to his legacy because right now, you know, domestically you’ve got Obama care, that’s getting its, you know, thing ripped out, you have the Iran deal, that’s also ripped to shreds, and now you have this horrible, horrible espionage scandal, you know, looking back on this 50, 100 years from now, this is not going to be a president that’s seen as a great president. This is a pretty scandalized feckless guy, if you look at the policy."
INGRAHAM: "Right. I think when you think about today’s historians, they’re all pretty much left wingers, there’s not many historians who we can really count on to be objective, so who knows what will happen in 50 years, but I do say this, Jesse, if in November Trump after this, you know, horrific pandemic and all the carnage, economic carnage, human losses, all of it we’ve seen, if he manages to beat them again, then I mean they will still be around, but that will be a decapitation of progressivism and frankly another repudiation of the Obama legacy. They don’t — so now they have a third bite of the apple right now. I think they have some head winds, but I don’t think so."
WATTERS: "Well, I mean, I’m scared to see what happens when they lose, if they lose, when they lose, but that will be scary. Laura, thank you very much."
INGRAHAM: "Great to see you. Jesse: Always appreciate it."
