There is no way a Congressman with no name recognition can become President. It’s not an accident that nobody has ever gone from Congress to the Oval Office in 230 years.

Actually, Abraham Lincoln did it. His only prior political experience was a two-year stint in the House of Representatives. But he was elected president during an extraordinary period when the United States was fractured and literally dissolving. He won a plurality with far less than 50 percent of the total vote. His case was unique. Hunter does not have the same opportunity.
