OPINION:
How many more Republican candidates are going to jump into the 2024 election fray when it is obvious that Donald Trump will be the choice of conservatives (“Trump widens lead in Republican primary thanks to second indictment,” web, June 25)?
At some point, these pretenders must stop thinking they are candidates and realize they are spoilers.
The deep state will do anything to stop former President Donald Trump from regaining power and correcting the country’s course.
Only Mr. Trump has shown that he has the knowledge and stamina to pull this country out of this liberal morass and make America great again.
If the crowd of Republican pretenders were in any way loyal to their conservative values or the Constitution, they would end their hopeless candidacies now and back Mr. Trump. This includes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for whom I look forward to voting in 2028.
Along with bribery and blackmail, the deep state uses lies and unscrupulous people to divide and conquer.
I am sure the excellent candidates that have thrown their hats in the Republican ring do not want to be seen as tools of the deep state.
It is time for them to bow out and throw their support behind Mr. Trump.
