If you are unable to follow the conversation, your best bet for not embarrassing yourself is to refrain from comment.
I am following the conversation perfectly, thank you. To suggest that Hunter's fate be hung upon the polls in two liberal states, states he didn't even campaign in, is just silly.
Hunter's campaign rises or falls in the South and the West. why should he bow out before those regions even utter a peep? Likewise, How can he be forced from the debates, sealing his fate, and smothering him before the Conservative states (where he will do well) are even paying attention?
