Duncan Hunter, who is PASSIONATE about the life issue, absolutely CAN WIN.
He is conservative in every way, and he is what the base is looking for.
“I wrote the border fence bill and it is not ambiguous. It is not a suggestion. It was passed and signed by the President. It is the law. It has been over six months since we passed that law and only 11 miles have been built. At that rate, it will take us 20 years to build it. If elected President, I will build all 854 miles in six months. In the meantime, it is still the law and the fact that only 11 miles have been built is unacceptable.” - Congressman Duncan Hunter
No he can't. Not if he's going to continue to try to run a "traditional" campaign; he's already relegated himself to failure.
Sorry to be harsh, but get a grip on reality -- he's been running for months, can't crack 2% in a national poll, has nowhere near the fundraising or organization -- or the ability to get either -- that the top-tier candidates have. House members with no elected statewide office don't get nominated. Period. if you want to change that traditional status, you can't play the same traditional campaign game.
Unless he radically changes how he's doing things, at best he's auditioning for VP or a cabinet position.
And that bill to build 800+ miles of fence is now being undermined by the current efforts to hide amnesty in a controlled immigration bill, cutting the fence to single row and around three hundred miles!
