Democrats on Wrong Side of Economic Revival

RUSH: Here’s Chuck You Schumer. And Chuck You was in Louisville at the University of Louisville, and he spoke a Q&A period after his remarks. It was this morning. And a member of the audience said, “There’s been talk of a blue wave of Democrats winning seats in the midterms. If this is to happen, what are the biggest obstacles that Democrats must overcome in order to win big in November?”

SCHUMER: People will make their own decisions about Donald Trump. Our mistake, I think, you cannot just run against Donald Trump. And it is the job of we Democrats to put together a strong, cohesive, economic group of proposals aimed at the middle class and those struggling to get there. There’s a lot of discontent in America. People don’t have faith in the future.

This is just striking to me. Here we are in the midst of the biggest middle class economic revival since the 1980s. We are in the midst of people getting raises, bonuses, manufacturing jobs coming back to the country, all kinds of productivity going up, jobless claims going down. The middle class is the primary beneficiary. What can these Democrats offer that will be better than what we have now? And the answer is nothing! Because their solution is government does everything for everybody. They want government to be seen as the beneficiary — well, the benefactor.

Do you know what the stock market’s doing today, folks? Have you heard? If you watch the Drive-By Media, I dare say you don’t know that the Dow Jones Industrial Average today is up over 500 points. Why don’t you know that? If it were down 500 points you would know it. If it were down 500 points they’d have a tote board up there, 80% of the screen, and they’d be tabulating the decline, and they’d have their analysts on microphone explaining how we’re just this side of the apocalypse.

There isn’t any coverage of that. So you better get ready. We’re in the midst of an economic revival and an uptick, and the media and the Democrats’ only hope is to try to convince you it isn’t real, it isn’t sustainable, it’s phony or it’s only for the rich or what have you. The same old playbook they always use.
