Some of us feel that beating HRC is important.
Since I cannot imagine for one second that Duncan Hunter could be elected President in a two-way race with Hillary, why on earth should I consider voting for him in the NH primary?
Now, maybe I'm wrong and he could beat her, but you (and he) have to show me how that could happen.
Attacking me for thinking about "who can beat Hitlery" does nothing to help Hunter. How could it?
Maybe you can explain why you don’t think he could beat Hillary.
Personally I don’t think the democrats are even remotely prepared to beat someone like Hunter. He doesn’t struggle with answers or have a history of flip flops to explain away. He’s sure of himself and honestly believes what he says. He doesn’t reform his answers to tell each different crowd what they want to hear. While everyone else was whining about democrat sneak attacks after the CNN debate, Hunter sent a letter to Hillary telling her to send more.
He’s the type of man who would say “The poor bastards have us surrounded”.
In selecting a leader for our country we should be deciding on who would do the best job, not who can beat Hitlery.
If our candidate CAN do the best job then beating the opposing candidate is a foregone conclusion.
My criteria for choosing a leader for our country is not based on party, race, or religon. It's based on who I think will do the best job for the country.
If I truly thought that Hitlery could do the best job for our country, guess what, I'd vote for her.
And you would be very surprised. Duncan Hunter would show what a calm and assertive leader he is.
LOL, how about competence of the candidate? You seem to equate ‘name recognition’ with ‘electability’. Polls change all the time. In a general election the GOP candidate would get their chance to shine or self-destruct taking the party with them. Hunter has shown in Q&A’s, interviews, speeches, what LITTLE time he is afforded in the debates and appearances that he IMPRESSES and people genuinely think the man is presidential and would like to vote for him, BUT the old ‘name recognition’ argument. The GOP candidate will have to keep the ‘red’ states. I can see Hunter doing that with his solid conservatism and manner with his and his son’s military service and, frankly, his status on trade will tear its share of voters in ‘blue’ states and be more likely to keep Ohio. Hunter is strong all around-personal and political and can keep the factions of the GOP together and draw independents(certainly not lose youth, women and independents like I believe Fred would-he does not come across well and no military experience to bring on respect with convincing people) with his persona and excellence. I see no other candidate with his strengths. The whole ‘name recognition’ thing is BS. Honestly, you want to say Fred can do that? No friggin’ way. He had every opportunity and has squandered it and is now in this predicament proving that people seriously have been underwhelmed by him. And this is the GOP primary with a man who has gotten the coverage! No way.
