Rubio says midterm losses won’t end Republican or conservative influence

Rubio played down the Republicans’ heavy midterm losses, arguing that politics takes more than winning elections. Speaking at a Washington gathering of conservative lawyers, he said people who see a setback or a bad election as the end of the republic should look to those in the room as an example. He framed the party’s work on a much longer clock: Republicans and the Trump administration, he said, have plenty to do over the next two, six and 20 years, because lasting achievements are built over decades, not election cycles. He urged conservatives to keep strengthening their ideology, saying elections choose officeholders for a time but do not alone determine what institutions believe or what lawyers learn.
