Yeah their districts are close together....oh yeah, it's my district! Down here people may have voted for Cunningham but a lot didn't like him as a person. Around town he was very arrogant. Hunter is not like that. And no, I don't think he would "cover" for good ol' Duke.
I don't mean actively covering up crimes. I mean making excuses for someone who, when they were in Congress together, was Hunter's close friend. Covering as in, "I've got your back." Not as in a criminal conspiracy. In the sense I mean it, I do very much question what Hunter saw and may have ignored or excused.
As for whether or not you and others in Duke's district liked him, he kept getting elected, didn't he. And from a broader perspective, he had an excellent reputation in Republican circles in the state. I know he did up here in the district where I live.
