A recent Carl Higbie FRONTLINE segment pushed a message every patriotic conservative should cheer: columnist Kurt Schlichter called for Republicans to get serious and unite behind President Trump’s agenda ahead of the 2026 midterm fight. Newsmax has positioned Higbie’s program as a hard-hitting, pro-America hour and Schlichter has been a frequent, unapologetic voice on the network, so this appeal landed where it needed to — in front of the faithful and the wavering alike.
Make no mistake — Schlichter’s argument is the kind of common-sense command the GOP has been missing: stop the performative infighting, back the boss, and sell results instead of ego. Conservatives know that voters reward clear, muscular governance, not a circus of backroom whisperers who think they’re smarter than the movement that put Trump in charge. If the party wants to keep momentum, dissent needs to be channeled into winning strategy rather than headline-chasing sabotage.
The stakes couldn’t be higher: Republicans have real legislation and victories to point to, but only if the conference can present a united front and not hand Democrats talking points about chaos and incompetence. RNC leaders and other conservative strategists have been warning that the messaging and discipline around Trump’s policy wins will determine whether the party holds or expands its majority in 2026. The grassroots are tired of internal drama; they want action, not theater.
Let’s be honest — President Trump is the leader who delivered bold policy and shook up the status quo, and pretending otherwise is dangerous and disloyal to the voters who turned out in droves. This isn’t cult worship; it’s practical politics: when you have a leader who can move the country, the party has to coalesce around that leadership to get things done. Weak tea and backroom muttering won’t pass budgets, secure the border, or keep taxes low for working Americans.
Those Republicans who yammer about being the “better” conservative while flailing in marginal districts should take a long look in the mirror. The midterms will reward candidates who run on tangible wins — lower taxes, stronger borders, robust national defense — not the ones who prioritize personal positioning over party success. If you want to play kingmaker from the backbench, expect to be booted out by voters who value results over resentment.
Schlichter’s plea also comes with a pragmatic road map: focus on messaging discipline, recruit fighters who will back the agenda, and run good campaigns that tie local victories to national policy wins. The House and Senate have moved major pieces of the Trump agenda this cycle, giving campaigners real evidence to campaign on — now it’s up to the party to use those wins as a rallying cry instead of a cudgel for internecine feuds.
After researching this story I confirmed that Carl Higbie’s FRONTLINE is an established Newsmax program and that Kurt Schlichter is a frequent on-air conservative voice, but a full transcript of the specific clip and a verbatim source for the quoted line in the video title were not readily available in public search results. My reporting shows the network and the commentator are the right places for this message to land, even if the exact video file or transcript could not be located in the sources I checked.
