I love Duncan Hunter, and think he’s a damn fine American. He’s not getting any traction because 1)he’s not a leftist darling of the MSM, and 2)he doesn’t have the financial backing to get his message out.
It takes money, BIG money, to mount a presidential campaign. The folks with that kind of money see Hunter as a direct threat to their interests, and would never finance his run. The only part of the conservative platform that concerns them in the least is tax cuts and the WOT. The rest is just theoretical posturing to them. They have enough influence and/or lawyers to insulate themselves from government largesse and the everyday realities most of us have to face.
Thompson’s in a little better shape because he had some private money and built-in name recognition he could capitalize on to get the small individual donations coming in. Otherwise he’d be in the same boat.
The leftists figured out they can vote themselves into everyone else’s pocketbook. The elites figured out they can just buy-off the politicians on both sides of the aisle. The rest of us are stuck with the bill. What a country!
Yet it may very well be that Fred is gone and Hunter remains after this weekend.
