Great to have you. You\u2019re next. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. Mega dittos from here in Palm Beach County. It\u2019s an honor to talk to you, and definitely sending prayers your way. My question is, in light of the Lincoln Project and all the Never Trumpers in the Republican Party, what do you think would happen to the party if, by chance, Trump would lose the election?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, if Trump loses the election, the Republican Party is his now. The people who will remain in the Republican Party are people who have been influenced by Trump, like Tom Cotton is already making plans for the 2024 Republican primary. He wants to be the Republican nominee. And he\u2019s as close as you\u2019re gonna get to a Trumpist as you\u2019ll find right now. In addition, you\u2019re right.

They don\u2019t have the slightest idea how. These people have never won jack anyway, and they don\u2019t know how.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I certainly agree with that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The real question is, is the Republican Party gonna survive at all as currently constituted? What is it gonna become if Trump loses? And this is gonna be a question whenever, even if Trump wins reelection and then 2024 comes along, what is it gonna be?
