Why he endorsed the one candidate who is most likely to lose and can’t really do any favors. I am not sure if I agree with Rep. Hunters endorsement but it was clearly based on principle and not on politics.

A conservative backs a socialist because of "principle"? Right.

What on earth makes you so certain of this?? Hunter may be a conservative, but he's been in Washington long enough to have plenty of the politician in him. It's a very strange choice of endorsement, especially since Huck hasn't been doing so well and is out of money.

Well if it is based on “principle” it is the principle where you are weak on illegal immigration, weak on reducing taxes (the fair tax is just a convenient place to hide and not take a stance). This really surprises me about Hunter.
