No, it wasn’t his conservatism, it was his inherent in-electability. His career spanned decades, but never outside of his district. But I’m not going to rerun the Duncan Hunter discussions. Pissant is long gone, so it’s a pointless exercise. You’re welcome to have the last word on Duncan Hunter, I won’t respond.
I notice that you never addressed my point about conservatives not able to unite and beat Romney in the 2011/12 cycle. That’s really the big issue, not whether or not 256 people vote for Goode, or 298 vote for Hoefling, or 153 vote for some other person with 0.00000000001% chance of getting a single electoral vote.
I’m going to repeat the central astounding fact of the primary campaign: as of April 10, Rick Santorum drop-out day, Romney had gotten 5 million votes, Santorum+Gingrich 6 million. It was an epic failure of conservative non-unity.
It was planned that way
