I've been a FReeper for almost 13 years and I've seen this same BS play out in every single election. People claim Trump is saying these things because no one else will. If that's true, where the hell were these people in 08? We had two very solid border control candidates in Tancredo and Hunter. I ended up settling on Hunter simply because he was more of a full package candidate guy and had a history of actually getting things done on the border. ("Hunter's wall" is a favorite photo op site for candidates.) Unfortunately in 08 the Fred Thompson show was sucking all the air out of the race and clearing a path for John McCain.
Duncan Hunter at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the section of border fence he got built. He was ignored by the same FReepers who now claim Donald Trump is our only hope.

Great point about Hunter. If FReepers wanted border security he was the perfect candidate.

Duncan Hunter ... was ignored by the same FReepers who now claim Donald Trump is our only hope.That's a fact. And pissant could prove it all day long.
