I'm not disappointed at all. Let's consider who was allowed to vote. Specifically the Republican establishment and no one else. This was not a primary open to the general Republican voters. And Rep. Paul still came in third? Behind a protectionist who no one's heard of and a candidate who hasn't officially announced? Hunter is going to spend all his money too early and Fred's not getting the support he was expected to get. Rep. Paul did quite well and another top three placement
Of course the media will try to spin it anyway they can but I am not disheartened at all.
” the Republican establishment “
lol - the grassroot GOP convention attendees are far more conservative and far less ‘establishment’ than the Paul folks let on. These are not country-club Republicans. These Texas GOP convention-goers are conservative grasroots activists and they have created one of the most conservative platforms for a state party in the nation. If you read the Texas GOP platform, you’d understand.
Your insult of Duncan Hunter is duly noted; however, if you compare the Texas GOP platform and Duncan Hunter’s positions, his huge victory makes a lot of sense.
