Kurt Schlicter’s appearance on Carl Higbie FRONTLINE this week was a much-needed wake-up call for Republicans, and patriots should pay attention. Schlicter—an outspoken Townhall columnist and former military officer—made the simple, blunt case: the party must rally behind President Trump’s agenda if conservatives want to win the 2026 Midterms and push back against the chaos from the left.
There’s a reason Schlicter stressed that “Trump’s the boss” and that too many inside the GOP act like they’re somehow above the man who actually delivers results. The elites in Washington and the pundit class love to posture and lecture while the rest of America just wants secure borders, safer streets, and an economy that rewards work—not elites who write think pieces. Conservatives should be grateful someone on national television told the truth about leadership and accountability.
Make no mistake: this isn’t about blind loyalty to a person, it’s about backing an agenda that has actually improved American lives and defended our sovereignty. Schlicter has consistently argued—across columns and radio appearances—for tough policies on crime, borders, and judicial sanity, and he’s right that the movement loses when Republicans fragment. If the GOP spends another cycle tearing itself apart, the Democrats and their media allies will exploit every opening.
The stakes in 2026 are real and measurable: analysts and election forecasters already show a competitive map where a divided, directionless GOP could pay a heavy price. Democrats smell vulnerability and are sharpening their messaging about energy costs and economic fear to peel off the swing voters the left needs to flip key districts and possibly regain the House. Republicans who think internecine warfare is a winning strategy will learn the hard way that elections reward unity and clear purpose.
Schlicter’s blunt judgment—that many insiders believe they know better than Trump—exposes the arrogance that has cost conservatives seats for years. Instead of virtue-signaling and backstabbing, Republicans should be selling the wins: record judicial appointments, stronger borders, and a foreign policy that puts American interests first. That message resonates with hardworking Americans tired of elites lecturing them from comfortable perches in Manhattan and Beltway salons.
If Republicans finally get serious about the midterms, they can sharpen their message without surrendering their principles: focus on law and order, energy independence, and defending the Constitution. Schlicter was right to demand unity now—because waiting until the night before the election is a recipe for disaster. Conservatives who care about America should stop hoping for perfection and start building a winning coalition behind policies that work.
This is a call to action: ditch the ego games, embrace the agenda that delivers, and show up for the country next November. The left will keep playing for chaos unless patriots organize, turn out, and put policy over personality squabbles. Follow Schlicter’s straightforward advice on Carl Higbie FRONTLINE and let 2026 be the year Republicans choose victory over vanity.
