Democrat Lockdown Strategy Backfiring, Killing Blue State Economies

CALLER: Yes. I wanted to just talk about the left narrative of social distancing and delaying the reopening of the country. And I honestly believe that they’re trying to delay the rallies that Trump is holding, is generating such a momentum and just, you know, a big thrill with everybody, and I think they’ve just done that to slow it down ’cause they gotta do something to stop it.

RUSH: Well, I don’t think that’s the sole reason that they are keeping the country shut down in these blue states. But you could fold it into the overall reason. I mean, they want to stop Trump, period. They want Trump defeated. Their dream would be to still get Trump thrown out of office before the election. And make no mistake, that is an active, ongoing objective that if they thought they could achieve and accomplish they’d go for it, even though the election is just a few relatively short months away. But barring that, they want to beat Trump in the election in November and they’re going after the economy.

The problem is that the latest polling data says that most Americans are not blaming him for the economy. “A majority of U.S. residents do not blame Trump for the stunning loss of American jobs since the coronavirus hit,” and it’s one of their polls. It’s not one of ours. “The latest Economist/YouGov poll shows that just one-third of the country blame Trump.” Most of them are Democrats.
