Normally I would not even bother answering a post like this because it turns out to be a waste of time. But let me ask you, what do we then suppose to do? Whether Hunter becomes nominee or not, does change the fact that he IS a quality candidate and in my opinion as well other's, way better than even the one FR seems to have chosen already.
--------
He's a quality person. He's a quality Congressman. He's a quality conservative. Correct that, he's an OUTSTANDING conservative.
None of that makes him a quality candidate. Quality candidates win elections - in fact, that's the definition of a quality candidate. Candidates who DON'T win elections, whatever other virtues they may have, are known as "losing" candidates.
Hunter has given no indication - not one - that he's going to win anything other than a meaningless straw poll here and there. He's raised very little money. After running for a year, he has little name recognition. And as I've already pointed out, his poll numbers are in the tank.
I WISH ALL THIS WERE NOT TRUE. I myself started off as a Tancredo supporter, but months ago came to the realization that I was on a Quixotic quest. That doesn't mean I wouldn't love to see Tancredo elected. It just means I have the discernment to see that it ain't gonna happen.
So to your question: what are you supposed to do? Well, you asked, so I'll presume to answer. I'd review the five candidates who have a >0.0001% chance of winning the nomination, pick the one who I can best live with and support him. Then I'd agitate to make Hunter Secretary of Defense; a post for which he's exceptionally well qualified.
But that's just me, as Dennis Miller used to say. I could be wrong....
