Hunter did not fall short. So called conservatives did.

Sorry, but as the old saying goes, if you don’t understand the premise, don’t blame the reader, blame the author.

Blame who ever you like. Hunter is gone just like Thompson and Tancredo. They didn’t live up to expectations and it’s no ones fault per se but their own. Hunter in his statement said he ran the campaign just like he wanted. He lost on his merits, lack of merits or lack of name recognition.

You can take Thompson’s 7% and add to Hunter’s >1/2% and you would still be sucking hind teat to the point of getting out. None of them struck an accord that was needed with the voters to be a factor. Sad but that’s the way the game is played.

Whether you want to recognize it or not, people (voters) just aren’t as conservative as you think they are.

Maybe if we strapped them to a chair and forced them to listen to some talk radio for 3 weeks and kept them away from the drive-bys, a lot more people would be conservative, because it is a logical position. But most people aren’t logical and rational, they’re emotional. Unfortunately.
