Yes sireee Bob! He had every chance in the world.
So? Based on how they were polling that is about right and fair. The low tier candidates are lucky they were allowed to even be in some of those debates. They were taking time away from candidates with a chance. Hunter has had decades to make a name for himself and no one has heard of him. Now that he has dropped out - finally - he should focus on his own bavckyard - senate or governor.
