Rush Limbaugh: "Trying to tie anything to Biden is tough because Biden may as well not be there"

RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): Now, I understand tying Joe Biden to it. I saw the president continually ties Biden to all this violence because it’s the Democrat Party sponsoring this and benefiting from it and Biden is the nominee so he’s the titular head. The problem with that is that Biden — trying to tie anything to Biden is tough because Biden may as well not be there. See, this is right out of the political campaign consultant playbook 101. Tie your opponent to all the rotten things. And in normal circumstances, that is exactly what you would do.
But Biden hasn’t been seen anywhere encouraging this, ’cause Biden hasn’t been anywhere. He’s been encouraging it to the extent that we can make sense of what he says, but he’s holed up in the basement. So people are looking for indications that Trump or his campaign team understand what the fight is. It’s a fight over the very future and existence of the country as founded. It’s not just about how unfair the media is, something which isn’t gonna change. It’s not about any of these things that have taken up a large part of the campaign so far.
