Piss poor analogy. Has Hunter not had the same amount of time (as in all summer, and even back into the spring) to get recognition? Had he not had the same opportunity to campaign? That was the regular season. We're in the playoffs now, and the Super Bowl is in November. You want to blame the NFL for the performance of the Dolphins? HINT: The Dolphins were excluded from the playoffs. Perhaps a bunch of folks should get together and ask why, if the Dolphins aren't allowed in the playoffs despite their record, Miami should even agree to take part in the NFL next year. That'll show those mean, nasty and unfair NFL executives that they can't pick our playoff teams for us!.
Hunter didn't run a good campaign. He. Did. Not. Run. A. Good. Campaign. He himself, those running his campaign, and to a lesser extent his supporters are responsible for where he is now. No one else. It's not the media. It's not Fox News. It's not the evil Tree Zombies from Planet Woogiesnookums. Stop blaming others, and own up to the fact a very good man ran a very horrible campaign and that he doesn't meet what by any standards are reasonable and rational criteria for inclusion in a debate this late in the campaign (albeit early in primary season). We laugh at the left when they claim vote fraud any time they lose, but then turn around and see bogeymen because out candidate couldn't garner enough support to be viable? The reaction then is to get all huffy and say, in effect, well we're just taking our ball and going home, calling anyone who failed to support your guy a RINO and ask why the should expect your vote? Seriously? Geez, what would you do if you had to face real adversity? Drown it in tears?
Piss poor analogy.
Just because you say it doesn't make it so.
That was the regular season.
The regular season began with the Iowa Caucus.
Does the NFL change or implement new rules in the middle of the season? Rules that are shaped to disqualify a single team? Each primary is like a single game. Each game stands on it's own.
calling anyone who failed to support your guy a RINO
Have I ever accused someone on FR that supports someone else of being a RINO? You are jumping to conclusions.
Geez, what would you do if you had to face real adversity? Drown it in tears?
You have no idea the adversity I have faced.
I am guilty of underestimating the lengths the GOP elite and the media will take to eliminate conservatives. I thought that the Republicans would hold themselves to a higher standard. I was sadly mistaken. It's not football, it's a street fight. Fred may be next.
