11:47 PM: And now we await tomorrow’s results…

11:40 PM: “Two years ago we shocked the Washington establishment and stunned the world… when we defied the pundits and the critics and rejected the failires of the status quo and elected a government that finally puts America first,” Trump says. He says his supporters weren’t surprised, though.

He says every day since the “failed old ruling class” has tried so hard to claw their way back to power.
“How can they be opposed to the strongest economy we’ve ever had?” Trump wonders, including for Asians, Hispanics, blacks. “There’s gotta be something on their minds.”

He says the the old ruling class are the ones that shipped jobs, stole wealth and lined their pockets at the expense of working-class Americans.

Trump asks voters to vote against the ruling class on Tuesday.

11:31 PM: Trump talking about cracking down on China’s unfair trade policies. He says after years of rebuilding other countries, we are rebuilding our country with American aluminum, American iron, and American steel. He says the steel industry is roaring back to life because of beautiful tariffs.

“Every day is promises made, promises kept,” Trump says.

He talks about his proposals to reduce prescription drugs. (He realized how powerful the office of the presidency really is..)

11:25 PM: Trump says Democrats are encouraging illegal aliens to violate our laws to sign them up for free health care, free education… He says Democrats want them to give them the right to vote… “I can’t imagine why,” Trump says.

Trump says Democrats want “totally open borders, which means crime will pour into our country.” He says Democrats do not want any protection for working Americans re: immigration policies.

He says she will no longer remember anything she said about agreeing with Trump on Wednesday and never vote with him. “She’s not going to vote for us,” Trump says, reminding the crowd that she didn’t vote for Kavanaugh.

10:56 PM: Trump says he represents and is the voice for Americans who have been overlooked, abandoned, neglected, ignored… the deplorables. He says that was a huge “gift” from Clinton.

“Did the speechwriter for the deplorables speech get fired immediately or the following week?” Trump asks. Trump says the “the deplorables are they are the greatest people on earth… they are the smartest.”

There’s a medical emergency in the crowd that has Trump concerned. “Say a little prayer,” Trump says.

10:47 PM: Trump says “America’s extraordinary comeback is the envy of the entire world.

10:36 PM: Trump now introduces Ivanka for some brief platitudes.

10:34 PM: “There’s something happening out there, folks,” Trump says of the huge crowd sizes.

Trump gets how the political establishment works: Trump says if the GOP doesn’t do great, they’ll say he was on the ticket. And if the GOP does great, they’ll say Trump was not on the ticket…

10:32 PM: Trump now introduces Justice Jeanine Pirro, who says Trump is the “tip of the spear” who fights for us.

He says Trump doesn’t have to put up with this but “thank God” he puts up with the abuse.

“We’re defending an America that has strayed from our founding. Nothing to with race. Nothing to do with gender. Nothing to do with any of the identity politics labels. It has to do with culture. It has to do with protecting and defending the Constitution.”

10:18 PM: Rush says to Trump, “Make America Great Again” is “not a slogan, it’s an objective.” He says politicians think MAGA voters were just “stupid” to vote for Trump because they don’t know any better and “there’s so much to learn.” Rush says the elite think MAGA voters are poor, uneducated, and angry. Rush say they are not angry, they just want to make the country great again and they have someone in Trump who will have their backs and stand up for them.

10:16 PM: Rush mocks Bill and Hillary Clinton’s national stadium tour. He says Biden can’t even fill a phone booth. He says there is “no other politician with a connection to voters like this and Washington can’t stand it.” Rush says he didn’t at first thing Trump could win until he saw the connection Trump made with voters.

Rush says the caravan isn’t about race even though the media want to demonize those opposed to illegal immigration as racists. He says it’s about the rule of law.

“Why should we stand aside and let people break the law?” Rush asks.

Rush continues: “We get all these labels thrown at us. We love our country and we want the best for everybody in it… We want everybody to be great. We want everybody to experience the American Dream.”

10:15 PM: Rush says the Democrats haven’t even accepted that they lost the election in 2016. It’s serious stuff All of this.

Rush says that for the last two years, newspapers and anonymous sources have tried to say Trump colluded with the Russians without any evidence. “Zilch. Zero. Nada. It didn’t happen. It was all made up.”

Rush says “Hillary Clinton colluded with Russia. Hillary Clinton rigged that election.”
Crowd chants “Lock her up!”

“These rallies are the envy of official Washington,” Rush says. He says there isn’t a single elected official in either party who could do what Trump does. “They are jealous. They are envious. This isn’t supposed to happen. You people are supposed to love them. Not Trump.”

10:10 PM: Rush Limbaugh getting ready to introduce Trump. Rush says it’s an honor to be at one of Trump’s rallies.
