Rush: There is no immediate future in the Republican Party if you aren’t pro-Trump. And these Republicans on Capitol Hill had better figure this out today. They had better figure it out today before this show gets started tomorrow. There is no future in the party if you’re not pro-Trump. And if you don’t understand why Trump has 90-plus support in the Republican Party, you have zero chance of winning in 2024.
And this goes for you Never Trumper conservatives. This goes for all of you magazine and website elites who still believe that Trump is a disease or a disaster waiting to happen and you think the future is post-Trump. If you don’t understand — 90% support? That’s where your subscribers are, by the way, if you happen to be a conservative media entity. Trump has 90% support, unprecedented support among Republicans. And if the Republican Party doesn’t figure this out fast, then they’re not gonna have a chance in 2024.
Now, I don’t know Nikki Haley’s heart. I’ve never met her. I don’t know if she has evolved in her respect for Trump’s political acumen, implementation of conservatism in unconventional ways. And that’s what Trump is. He’s a nonideological implementation of conservatism. He’s not an ideologue. But he has a got a lot of common sense, which is what conservatism is.
Now, it could be that her support for Trump is contrived for her political future. Maybe not. But her current positive statements about Trump are smart politics for a Republican who has aspirations of being elected. Just ask Romney. You think Romney, the way he’s positioned himself, sets himself up to be the next Republican nominee? It ain’t happening, Mitt. Where you currently have staked out your position, you can forget winning the Republican nomination. ‘Cause this has come down to a matter of loyalty now. You’ve got the entire Washington state, apparatus and the Democrat Party totally aligned against Donald Trump.
Why do you think it’s 90% support for Trump? Because those people out there who are Republicans know full well what’s happening here. It’s not just Trump being attacked, it is them. It’s all of us. And so the loyalty to Trump is not just loyalty to Trump. It’s loyalty to us, ourselves and the party. And if Republicans don’t figure this out starting tonight and into tomorrow, it’s gonna be a long slog for many of them.
Trump isn’t going anywhere. I don’t care what Schiff’s dreams are, I don’t care what Pelosi’s dreams are, I don’t care what any of these leftist dreams are, Trump is not going anywhere, and Republicans with any political sense at all understand that.
Republican Senators who would vote to convict Trump will NEVER win another election. They would be pariahs.
The concept can be extrapolated to Free Republic.
The Republican Party is the only road to a conservative agenda

Yea, and it COULD BE that the Steelers need a new head coach Rush.
I agree with what Rush says, but I don’t think some of these squishy Republicans care. I think they are content to “play ball” with a Democrat majority and ultimately want the same fate for our country that the Dems want.
I don’t think all Republicans in office feel this way, but enough of them dislike Trump so much that they are willing to sacrifice the country.

The renewed support for coup enabler Sleepy Sessions blows that narrative up. As long as the GOPe are verbally supportive of POTUS they are home free it appears. It certainly appears Graham will cruise to reelection after refusing to lift a finger to stop this ongoing coup against a GOP POTUS.
