RUSH: So I’m sitting at home last night minding my own business, not bothering anybody. In fact, the only thing bothering anybody was the cat bothering me, mad at me that I was gone for three days. You can tell when the cat gets mad at you. Anyway, about the time the news broke that the Senate had failed at their repeal Obamacare vote, I started getting a slew of email messages from people that totally dumbfounded me.

I started getting email: “This is great! This is great! Now they’re gonna vote to repeal it and have a two-year period of time to replace it. That’s gonna carry us through the 2018 midterms, and Obamacare premiums are gonna continue to skyrocket and people are gonna blame Obama and we’re gonna win everything again in 2018.”

And I look at this, and I said, “What planet are these people on?” And then I start asking, “What am I missing?” Because I kept getting these emails. I must have gotten five of these emails from people. “This is great, we’re finally gonna vote to repeal it and that’s gonna take us through the 2018 election cycle with no Obamacare in place. And that means it’s gonna continue to implode and the Democrats gonna get the blame.” And I was caught by one thing in every one of these emails that literally dumbfounded me.

I wrote ’em all back. I said, “Would you please share with me the evidence that you have that they’re going to vote to repeal it? Why in the world do you think that’s automatic?” “Well,” they wrote back, “it’s easy to repeal it when you don’t have to couple it with a replacement bill.” I said, “Is there evidence for this?” And then I started converting them. And I could see in succeeding emails that their optimism started fading. Which, look, I hate being the guy that does that, but I really was shocked that that was the original reaction people had to the bill failing in the Senate.

Now, I don’t blame ’em for wanting to see the opportunity, and clearly there is an opportunity there. What I don’t see — and I addressed this yesterday — the reason we are here, folks, the reason we’re talking about this is that it is abundantly clear, it’s just a matter of whether or not you wanted to admit it to yourself or not, it is abundantly clear that the career Republicans in Washington don’t want to touch Obamacare. They don’t want to repeal it. And they don’t want to do tax reform. And they don’t want to build a wall. They don’t want to do any of the Trump agenda. The Democrats, the Republicans, it doesn’t matter what the party divisions are, because we’re really not talking about that.
