You think it might be he's preaching protectionism? Granted that's what the original Republicans advocated but most Republicans are for more trade not less. Hunter's gone, Thompson's gone, and from what I read even though he did somewhat well in the straw poll Brownback may be gone.
Hunter’s position on Trade has probably cost him some money from big business donors. However, I think that many if not most American’s would agree with Hunter on trade. There are a small portion of Republican’s who worship free trade but most people recognize that the current system is hurting bad for America. Instead, I think the problem has been with some of Duncan Hunters campaign management. Hunter is great and I am going to continue to support him. However, he should consider making some changes in his campaign staff.
HUnter is not gone. He has already stated that he won’t drop out no matter the results today.
