    Former Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) dropped out of the Republican presidential primary on Monday night, becoming the second Republican to do so.

    Hurd - who polled near the bottom of the primary field, struggled to garner even 1% in the polls, and never made it onto the debate stage - joined the ranks of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who dropped out in late August after failing to make the first presidential debate.

    "Unfortunately, it has become clear to me and my team that the time has come to suspend our campaign," he said. " While I appreciate all the time and energy our supporters have given, it is important to recognize the realities of the political landscape and the need to consolidate our party around one person to defeat both Donald Trump and President Biden. I urge donors, voters, and other candidates to unite around an alternative candidate to Trump. Otherwise, we will repeat the same errors as in 2016. If the Republican party nominates Donald Trump or the various personalities jockeying to imitate his divisive, crass behavior, we will lose."

    He said that he ran because he wanted to preserve "this experiment called America" and because he thought the country deserved better options than President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. He also stressed the importance of major issues he believed that Americans were not focused enough on, including artificial intelligence, the brewing Cold War with China, and crisis on the U.S. southern border.

    "Our nation deserves a leader who can unite us and navigate the complex challenges we face, particularly when it comes to our national security," he said. "I believe Ambassador Nikki Haley is the best person in this race to do that."

    "Ambassador Haley has shown a willingness to articulate a different vision for the country than Donald Trump and has an unmatched grasp on the complexities of our foreign policy," he continued. "I wholeheartedly endorse Ambassador Haley and look forward to supporting her for the remainder of this race."

In the most recent Midterms Election, the "Republican Red Wave" turned out to be a "Republican Red Ripple," which, as in all elections, confounded the political prognosticators of what to expect down the governing /political road: What, and who, do you think is best for this meandering Representative Republic in the near future?

  Because they know how to best allocate the public's money back to the right part of the public, the Democrats will NOW always prevail and get my vote.

  With patriotic pragmatism the cornerstone of the best of the Republican Party, they will ultimately save this Constitutional Republic from self-destruction.

  Since the Executive Branch is so important to turn this Representative Republic around, I am still on Team Trump in 2024.

  Since the nation may need a different path to Conservative patriotism in the Executive, I am joining Team DeSantis.

  Because I am entitled to take the government dole, the prevailing favoritism whenever possible, I will support any, and every Democrat candidate.
