The Cost of Division is Defeat

Welcome back to OnThePoint, I’m Greg C. Truax.

Conservatives don’t have to agree on everything—but we do have to show up. Elections are choices, not perfection tests. Stay home because your candidate isn’t perfect, and you hand the win to a Democrat moving further left.

We just saw it here in Florida—two special elections where Democrats flipped seats previously held by Republicans. Not because the left surged—but because the right stayed home or stayed divided. So why punish a conservative candidate just to send a message?

Ronald Reagan said it best: someone who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is an ally, not a traitor.

Unity matters—because sitting it out means handing it over.

From the NewsTalk 1040 studios, I’m Greg C. Truax.
