It’s the “I won’t vote for him because he can’t win because I won’t vote for him” syndrome.

The American people are so used to the media selecting the frontrunners that they’ve quit thinking outside the box.

Blah, blah, blah. I've seen this "clever line" before. It's total BS.

A good candidate IGNITES support, the same way a flame ignites a dead pile of leaves.

Hunter, as good as he is (and I have acknowledged about a thousand times that he's a great American, a great patriot and a great conservative) ain't igniting didddly squat.

He's going NOWHERE. And all the huffing and puffing and stamping of feet here in FR, by a small number of ardent supporters, means exactly the same thing: diddly squat.

It's the CANDIDATE who ignites support, not the press, not the syndromes (or lack of them). It's the CANDIDATE.

And this CANDIDATE just ain't doing it.

No, it's not. It's realizing that someone who wakes up one morning with no national name recognition, no national organization, and no reliable means of raising funds who nevertheless decides that they want to run for President is someone who simply isn't ready for the job.
