Trump’s Cabinet Picks Don’t Need the Jobs
RUSH: The left has poisoned people's minds on what the private sector is. They poison people's minds on what success stories in the private sector are, and it's time that was brought to a screeching halt.
A Viewer Fed Up with Fox News
RUSH: To opine on it is just very, very tough. I'll tell you what, folks. It's one of the reasons why I have not made an effort to get to know personally all these people in Washington or anywhere else that I might end up talking about, 'cause once you get to know them, it does change.
GOP Congressman Supports Your Host on Sheets Byrd
RUSH: This morning on Washington Journal on C-SPAN, the guest is — and this is good, by the way — a Republican congressman from Alabama named Bradley Byrne. And, in the old days, this might have gone the other way, but it's a new day out there.

Democrats Know They Can’t Stop Sessions
RUSH: The Democrats, they're going through the motions here of insinuating that Sessions has been a bad guy. He's a racist. He's a pig. Middle name is Beauregard; can't trust people from the South with the name Beauregard. He probably was a plantation owner, maybe a Civil War general. Can't trust the guy. They're doing all this. They're fundraising. And they are doing what they have to do to appeal to the lunatics in their base. But they know they're not gonna be able to stop the nomination.
