While I agree that Mr. Hughes is presumably a better businessman than columnist, his heart is in the right place. Not everyone can be a William F. Buckley, Jr.
I find it interesting that “winning in Iowa” isn’t important and that Fred’s strategy is working. He isn’t ahead in NH or SC either.
What IS the strategy? Come in third fourth or fifth forever and get elected on sympathy. Please, if you want to claim a brilliant strategy, articulate it. Advising people to keep supporting a losing politician is equivalent to recommending betting on the Dolphins to win the Super Bowl.
Fred has to earn support. If he finishes 4th or worse in Iowa, worse in NH and can’t do better than 3rd in SC, he should get out.
