There is a wonderful and salutatory effect to publicly posting a head on a pike for all to see. Now, after the hideous leftist celebration of the murder of that executive from an unpopular industry, it’s necessary – for the benefit of dumb and disingenuous people who will cry about this imagery – to make clear that this is not to be taken literally. It is to be taken figuratively. That is, we in the America First movement must figuratively post the head of at least one hack GOP establishment senator at the summit of Capitol Hill during the 2026 cycle. The real question is who we’re going to make an example of.
Now, I’m old enough to remember when there were a whole bunch of soft Republicans in the Senate. There are far fewer today than they used to be, believe it or not. About 16 years ago – how time flies when you are reforming the Republican Party – the Tea Party movement started up and shook up Washington. It was a direct response to the continued failure of the business-as-usual, managed-decline Republican Party. The establishment told us that we couldn’t ever change things. We had to vote Republican, no matter how bad the Republicans were, and keep our mouths shut. All we were were mere voters; it wasn’t like we mattered. But you know what? We did matter. We mattered hard. And we posted some heads on pikes.
Rand Paul didn’t just show up. Mike Lee didn’t just show up. Ted Cruz didn’t just show up. No, that was us. We changed things in the Senate. We beat unbeatable incumbents. We won unwinnable primaries. And we made it known that we expect conservatism from our alleged conservatives.

Pick someone who could be replaced by a better Republican.
The replacement for Collins, if you beat her, will be a communist.
Murk.
As Bongino points out, you won’t get a better replacement from Maine. You will in Alaska.
Collins is the BEST we can hope for in Blue Maine.
Murkowski is the WORST we can imagine in Red Alaska.
Pretty easy choice.
Thanks, Kurt Schlichter, for such an informative (and cleverly penned) article.
Why stop at just one? As long as RINOs remain the future outlook for the Republican party remains dim. Should’ve happened a long time ago, and there would have been more progress by now.
Cornyn, please.
That, too, would work for me.
“I’d be for the most right, viable candidate who could win.”
The ‘who could win’ is important. I’m not sure winning is a big priority for some Freepers. Virtue signaling seems more important, and there are those that just hate the Republican party and are ok with Dems winning.
Keep that in mind as you feel the frustration as RINOs like Susan Collins who block you right at the last minute.
We don’t want to get rid of Collins. She’s in a blue state and would very likely just be replaced by a Democrat. What we need to get rid of are RINO squishes from reliable Red States. People like Joni Ernst in Iowa, Thom Tillis in North Carolina, Jon Cornyn in Texas. All of these are up for re-election in 2026. They all need to be primaried and purged.
Nice take. Deserves a repeat:
We need to get rid of RINO squishes from reliable Red States,
up for re-election in 2026. They need to be primaried and purged.

<><> Joni Ernst in Iowa,
<><>Thom Tillis in North Carolina,
<><>Jon Cornyn in Texas.
Cornyn-Paxton
Ernst-Charlie Kirk
Tillis-Lara Trump.
All would be high profile challengers that would light the fire even if unsuccessful. DeSantis SHOULD NOT appoint Lara to succeed Rubio.
Lara is from NC——she’s a perfect fit for that state.
Great post. The thread needs to be distributed far and wide.
I’m thinking of a three pronged attack against the Kow, Cornphone and Easy Ernst. You knock two out of three out with true Republican senators it sends a message.
Cornyn.
