RUSH: Here’s another little news story that… You know, if you dig deep — if you dig deep — eventually the left, the Democrats, will betray their fears. They will always tell you what they’re afraid of. They will always tell you who they are afraid of. Thomas B. Edsall in the New York Times: “Trump Is Winning the Online War — The technical superiority and sophistication of the president’s digital campaign is a hidden advantage of incumbency.” Ohhhh, it’s a “hidden advantage of incumbency.” It doesn’t have anything to do with Trump’s people!

“For all his negative poll numbers and impeachment-related liabilities, President Trump has a decisive advantage on one key election battleground: the digital campaign. Under the management of Brad Parscale, the Trump re-election machine has devoted millions more than any individual Democrat to increasingly sophisticated microtargeting techniques.” Now, we interviewed Brad Parscale for an issue of The Limbaugh Letter in recent months, and he spelled all this out for us.

They’re not even making it a secret. He told us how they wre gonna do it. He spelled it out exactly: “Microtargeting,” meaning they’re in precinct after precinct after precinct identifying people and they’re gonna get ’em to the polls.

Now, stop and think of this for a second. Who do the Democrats have on their side? They’ve got Google, they’ve got Facebook, and they’ve got Twitter! And here’s New York Times with a story, all depressed and down in the dumps that Trump is running rings around all of them in “the online war.”

I’m sure Thomas B. Edsall will go back and add an editor’s note, that these numbers do not include future Russian meddling on behalf of Trump.
