"Actually, Hunter is the only candidate, top or bottom tier..."

This is off topic but I just wanted to say something. It's the biased media that started using (and repeating ad nauseum) the terms "Top tier" and "Bottom tier" in order to plant a seed in people's minds that THIS group can win, and THAT group can't.

I've noticed that many people have gone along with it and are using those terms themselves, which is putting a label on their own candidate. Not only does that dignify what the MSM is doing, but it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, when it is repeated over and over that certain candidates are 'bottom tier' (which implies no chance of winning.) It becomes the reality. That is why I'm suprised people are going along with using those labels designed by the MSM.... don't do that, it just helps reinforce what they're doing.

That's all I wanted to say, and I'm saying this as someone who likes Duncan Hunter and agrees with him on most issues, so it's not meant to be negative, but encouraging.

Carry on! :-)

It is alright to use one of those labels as long as it is qualified with ‘so-called’ and then surrounded by scare quotes. (Ex: The so-called “top-tier”.) heh
