>> Yeah, we all remember how awesome Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich did when they were the overwhelming favorite of FReepers. <<

I had forgotten about that, there was endless talk here of a "Thompson/Hunter" ticket, which, like the "Trump/Cruz" ticket, only existed in the heads of their supporters on FR. Neither Fred Thompson nor Duncan Hunter showed any interest in teaming up. Hunter endorsed Huckabee right after leaving the race, and Thompson dropped out fairly quickly.

Neither of them ever had a chance, especially Hunter.

At least they were decent conservatives, if imperfect. I’d say they were the best 2 candidates in 2008.

Gingrich and Trump OTOH.....
