The Limbaugh Effect (Hillary: The GOP’s Weapon of Choice)
| So it looks like Hillary may very well be getting a big boost from Republicans wanting to keep her in the race either to beat Obama and give the Republicans an easy victory in November, or to just keep her kicking long enough to take the Democratic Party down in flames, per Rush Limbaugh’s request. He made the plea to his supporters before the Texas primacaucus and may have given her a little push. | |
In Mississippi it may have given her more than a little bit of a push, although she still lost bad. A full 25% of Hillary’s voters in Mississippi were Republican, which if you know anything about how vilified Hillary is to conservatives, and even many moderates, is a huge red flag. The end result was that what would have been a giant sweep for Obama (70%-30%, and a 15 net delegates, without Hillary’s GOP support) was softened into just a serious ass kicking of 61% to 37%, with only a net of 5 delegates. So Republicans in this one may have cost him 10 delegates, not to mention running up the anti-Obama white vote in the exit polls.
So Hillary continues to reap the benefits of Limbaugh’s support, while him and the rest of the Republicans are smiling ear to ear as they watch Hillary do all of their dirty work (and I mean DIRTY) for them. It looks like Hillary found a new best friend, and so have the Republicans.
