I like DH. The man is even my preference in the sea of otherwise bending broomstalks and slithering smooth talking snake den of politicians.

But the fact is I do not understand his strategy. Here in Iowa he made almost no effort and apparently spent nothing. He is the invisible candidate. He clearly did not establish an “over broken glass” band of hard core crawlers in his campaign. Does he have any charisma?

Thus far a very feeble effort from my view. Makes me wonder if he really has any interest at all in this effort, or is there some other motive/rationale to his presence, or lack of presence in this race?

Good points.

The problem with the GOP is that Charisma always trumps principle. They don’t pick their candidates on principle. That’s why they don’t get conservatives in the Executive, and few in the bicameral House. And, hence, the mess that is the current USA.

I’ve always thought that what we really need is a candidate with the conservatism of Goldwater and a Hitlerian ability to captivate the masses in speech. In lieu of charisma I’ll go with conservative principle and, I believe, none of the others can hold a candle to Hunter.

Libs, on the other hand, have no principle. They absolutely have to have charisma. So they go for rich, attention whores. The GOP has followed in this practice, to their detriment.
