As our nation struggles under the divisive and corrupt Biden administration, conservatives know all too well the cost of lost elections. This is why the 2024 Republican primary, where we select our Republican nominee for President, is absolutely critical to the future of our country. Make no mistake, elections have consequences. And you’re feeling those consequences at the grocery store and at the gas station.
If Republicans failed to secure the White House, then what Justice will there be for Biden’s corrupt dealings that made his family very, very rich from exploiting public office? If the Republicans don’t win this election, then there’s no stopping the radical abortion policies from Democrats that allow abortions up until the day of birth, guys are sick, toxic gender ideology will be pushed through every level of the government in businesses schools through our entire society.
Losing the 2024 will cost us as Americans a lot more than a few extra tax dollars, it will cost us our traditional way of life. That is why this past Republican debate was so consequential. 2024 cannot be another amateur hour 2024 is too critical.

Untested and unproven. snake oil salesmen are just as problematic as career politicians sometimes, if not more so.

A consistent conservative voting record demonstrates authenticity, and more importantly, reliability.
It’s not like a businessman, being able to turn around things, change things or even sell off. This is politics. This is our law. This is public policy. And candidates without such a record deserve even more scrutiny. Conservatives cannot stomach more turncoats. We need proven leadership. Some declared candidates have records to run on and others.

Candidates with no path to victory should drop out and selfishly, to devote themselves to our shared values, our goals, go on the media and make your points but we need to stop the moral decline and the cultural rot that has gripped our nation.

Republicans need to unite around one candidate
Sep 05, 2023
By Straight Arrow News
Twelve candidates are vying for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. While former President Donald Trump remains the frontrunner, a slew of contenders and long shots is jockeying for a chance at the White House.
Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker believes that Republicans should consolidate their support behind a single candidate and that the most ideal choice would be someone with a solid political background. Parker suggests that any candidates relying on gimmicks should step aside.
