He also recognizes that we are in a war between civilizations and that our very survival as a free and secure nation among free and secure nations hinges on defeating Islamic extremism and ending the scourge of International terrorism. The war must be fought to the finish, and fought to the total annihilation of organized terrorism.

Key point.

Well said, and I agree. Fred would be great. He needs to show a bit more passion though.

Fred is closest to Hunter. He’ll get my vote.

If I were a resident of Iowa today, I know I would caucus for Fred!

I have several friends currently living in Iowa whom I have encouraged to do exactly that!

Too little, to late, JR.

I suspect most of the voters have concluded he doesn’t actually want the job.

No disputing what you wrote, just noting he appears to have blown a golden opportunity. His ‘walking for President’ schtick worked til he declared himself.

Like you, I had high hopes for him, seeing a return to Reaganesque policies. But his choosen strategy made it far too easy for a liberal MSM to paint him as ‘disinterested’ at best, ‘lazy’ or ‘sleepy’ at worst.

If he fails to take a third place finish today, he’s done, stick the fork in him.

Maybe he would be interested in a VP slot....

He’s the closest thing we got to a thoroughbred conservative Republican in this race.

No he doesn't. He's cool, calm, and collected, just what we need for Prez, not a screaming Me Me.

“He’s pro life, liberty, gun, constitution, originalist judges, federalism, small government, low taxes, economic freedom, secure borders, strong defense, national security, national sovereignty, etc.”

I guess this just isn’t enough for a lot of “conservatives.”

It is for me.
