Friedman says he knows how to beat Trump in 2020. It has to be a political defeat, he says, not impeachment. Impeachment would say that we\u2019ve lost our minds and we can\u2019t have anybody knowing the Democrats have already done that, can we?<\/p>\n<p>No, Friedman admits that defeating Trump is gonna be hard, because Trump \u201ccan bend people\u201d to his will like magicians bend spoons. Friedman\u2019s \u201csolution\u201d is a Republican Never Trumper on the ballot in all 50 states who runs against Trump from the political right. And that is Friedman\u2019s mistake, but I\u2019m not going to explain that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-241581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/00-Rush-Morning-Update-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"137\">This Never Trump hero that Friedman envisions would siphon off enough Republican votes so Trump loses Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Florida. Friedman says America needs a Republican willing to do to Trump what Ralph Nader did to Al Gore in 2000.<\/p>\n<p>Friedman, I hope you enjoy this little liberal fantasy like all the rest of your liberal fantasies. But before you take this any further, look what happened to Never Trump Republicans in Congress, particularly the Senate. Just like you, they thought Trump could be challenged from the right. They\u2019re gone. He\u2019s still president, which he will still be if you try this dumb plan in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: New York Times columnist Thomas L.
