You know, if everyone who said they really like Hunter and what he stands for but he just can’t make it decided that our country would truly benefit by his presidency, and got behind him, Hunter would be number one today, and run away with the vote in the primaries.

-— there is a sign in my yard, a sticker on my car, and I gave my hard earned money to his campaign - what else can I do?

He has certainly not gained the traction I hoped he would and I don’t think it is his fault. The coronation process I referred to in my post has gatekeepers called the media elite and the party apparatus (either DNC or GOP). Like it or not that is the “reality” of our two party democracy.

Fred had grass-roots traction before he announced and it does not bother me one bit that he waited to announce. I wish they all had waited!

Wish I was wrong but honesty is the best policy.

Hunter disappointed me a bit at the Values Voter debate the other day - he had a few answers that just didn’t make sense. But even saying that - he is the most solid (and sane) conservative of the entire bunch of candidates.

Personality-wise, he could use some improvement, but I still like him. His campaign is either broke, or just run by folks with no sense of what it takes to be in the big show.
