The Biggest Threat to Trump Is Other Republicans
Kurt Schlichter
This is a free preview of Kurt's weekly VIP members' only column.
Donald Trump's shock and awe campaign has been something to behold, and he's nowhere close to being done. We can't let the soft, squishy Republicans within the GOP derail our mission of destroying the radical left.

The defeated Democrats are so screwed up that they installed David Hogg as their second-in-command at the DNC, so these dorks are not going to be our biggest problem. Neither is the regime media, which is totally confused and baffled both at Donald Trump’s popularity and at the sheer speed and volume of his assault on the Establishment. No, our biggest problem in making America great again is going to be other Republicans.
We can’t take our foot off the pedal. We can’t slow down. We can’t hesitate. Right now, we have the initiative and the momentum, and we have to keep driving on. It’s exhilarating. Most of us don’t feel no ways tired at all the winning. But not all of us. Within the Republican Party are folks who are distinctly uncomfortable with the concept of winning. These are the status quo folks, the people who liked things as they were before Donald Trump gave voice to the marginalized and ignored Republican base.
Trump wants to win. He wants to change things. But many Republicans don’t. If you’re a representative or a senator, you have a pretty good life. And, if you’ll look at the statistics, you’re almost a shoo-in to be reelected so you can keep the gravy train rolling down the tracks for ten, 20, even 30 or more years. As for the old-school conservative media folks, it’s also a pretty sweet gig. You just keep cranking out the same squishy, inoffensive content and enjoying the cocktail party invitations. Maintaining the status quo is an incredibly attractive option to them. Disrupting the status quo, however, is scary. It’s dangerous to their sinecures, so there are a substantial number of people who should be with us who are ambivalent about all the winning.
