He got zero out of three. Freepers initially responded warmly to him, then dumped him overboard the moment (less conservative) Fred Thompson's "potential" candidacy was in the works. By the time Fred finally got around to actually running, he had as much success being the "savior" of the GOP grassroots in 2008 than Wesley Clark had with the Dem grassroots in 2004.
And so it went, sadly.
The fact freepers were so willing to toss Hunter to the dogs in favor of a less-conservative (but supposedly more "electable") candidate that hadn't even announced, proves there won't be another "Ronald Reagan" in the near future. A man like him comes around only once in a generation.
You act as if Hunter was at ten or twenty percent in the polls and we all said, “Nah, let’s ditch him and go with Fred.”
His campaign was a wreck, Let’s deal with it like adults instead of coming up with useless recriminations.
