Presidential candidates don't do this. You are reading way to far into his motivation. It seems to be payback. It won't help.
If I myself were as honorable as I believe Duncan Hunter is (and I’m not, though I try to do what is right), I would be *alarmed* seeing those who supported me, invoking my name as their rallying cry to abandon the next election to Democrats.
And I would do what I thought most likely, to stop them.
I think it’s very possible, this is exactly what Duncan Hunter has decided to do.
For America.
