RUSH EXCERPT:
STEPHENS: “Let’s see who the Democrats wind up nominating. The real issue for Republicans is simply to call out the fact that the president does not stand in any way for the traditional conservative economic principles that have defined the party for the better part of last 70 years. They don’t even stand — never mind the economic principles, broader principles of character. What we saw over the last few days is a president who’s either mentally unwell or morally unfit. Maybe both. I don’t know. But it’s important to simply call these things as we see them. You have behavior that is unprecedented in any kind of presidential history in the United States or, frankly, elsewhere. So when I hear guys like Erick say, wow, at the end of the day, this is a choice, you know, I’d rather have a candidate on the democratic side who at least doesn’t scare me every single morning.”
