“We are concerned about those who foolishly chase after the more moderate “top tier” candidates thinking that they are “conservative enough” because only they can beat Hillary.”
Thank you for this comment and I agree with you.
Here is what I don’t understand, so many come onto Hunter threads and say he is not electable. So what?
Some seem to act as if there is only 1 opportunity to vote in this country. There are 2 opportunities to vote, once in the primary and once in the general election. After the primaries we have a convention for each party where the nominee is selected, that nominee has to get over 50% of the vote to win nomination.
Do people really not get that they can vote for one person in the primary and if that person is not the nominee they can not vote for someone else in the general election?
Or do they think that during the convention the candidate with the plurality of votes gets the nomination?
If anyone is thinking either, they are wrong.
A person can vote for one person in the primary election and another in the general election.
Add to that, if during the convention, after the first vote there is not a person with more than 50% of the delegates votes, the delegates are then free to vote, not for who sent them, but for whoever they decide to vote for.
Currently the GOP field is wide open and no one is really close to the 50% mark for nomination. Any one can win at this point. Even you could win the nomination the way things are going at the moment, if we just got enough delegates to vote for you after the first vote at the convention failed to get a vote of over 50%.
Well said!! As long as Duncan Hunter is in the hunt, I am going for the very best. Like you said, none of the so-called top tier have a lock on the nomination or even half of a simple majority. Anything can happen between now and the first primaries.
