Has to be disappointing to CNN and the like that Duncan Hunter is not going to just let it go with the rest of the turkeys in the field. They’ve done their best to deny he even exists because he is TOO GOOD. Just think, a combat vet with a combat vet son with a personal story of hard work leading to an impressive record of leadership in our government and he is not intimidated by liberals and can cut to the issue and call them out and he has such a strong record and impresses people. Hunter is first rate. No one comes close. He is who the GOP has needed for a LONG TIME. People are desperately grasping at voting elsewhere with the manipulating that we have to settle for somebody else because they are allegedly ‘electable’ when it really always comes down to the nominee and how they come across in the end. There is no stronger candidate than Duncan Hunter and he is the man we need as our next President. And it’s an honor to support him. I will not be guilted to settle for less.

Because the other candidate will not advance conservatism and though the one other candidate who is considered and being labeled as a savior of ‘conservatism’ really isn’t electable for a GENERAL ELECTION and really has had his own share of election year changes like he likes to claim everyone else has(he won’t touch Hunter because he knows he doesn’t compare and is trying badly to act as if he is Hunter). Hunter is the man.

Tragedy alright. Though through no fault of the candidate himself. Remember he has been given the least amount of time of ANY of the candidates that have been in the race THOROUGHOUT the beginning of the process. He’s just too good when heard from. But he’s giving it a go and we need to be thankful as he is giving the nitwits of the GOP the opportunity to vote for real, true, reliable, consistent CONSERVATIVE leadership. No one else compares no matter how much they try to market themselves. And they are nowhere near as competent as Hunter is and would be in a GENERAL ELECTION.

He’s putting all his chips in NH. Why not? Let’s see what happens.

He's not giving up....neither can we.

I continue to ask God to bless him and help him.

Also Duncan managed to get a surprising number of votes in Iowa

515 votes, 1%, no delegates. (Per CNN, with 95% of precincts reporting)

If this is considered "surprisingly" good, then perhaps Hunter fans really are starting to accept reality.

“The MSM simply WILL NOT cover him and with that and no money, he’s done.”

All the more reason for Hunter to STAY IN THE RACE. They truly fear him. He is their worst nightmare come true. A combat vet with a combat vet son from a middle class background and a fearlessness in dealing with liberals and their political BS. A strong record and knowledge and ability to communicate so well. He is just an impressive man who exudes leadership. This is the best opportunity since Reagan to actually ADVANCE conservatism. This man could win SO MANY converts(independents, youths). He would be a SERIOUS threat in MI, PA, WI and we would actually KEEP OH, VA. I don’t see a stronger GENERAL election candidate. Unfortunately, the GOP is stuck on stupid a lot of time and seems to be buying the whole BS ‘electable’ rather than looking honestly at the candidates. That cr*p only goes so far.

God bless those people who will not be manipulated or guilted to settle for anything less.

It truly would be a travesty if people do not vote for Duncan Hunter. And especially to know there are those who would actually want to but are withholding their vote due to this ‘electability’/poll cr*p. To just think one of the greatest men with a natural ability to lead and just be who he is and be true to himself and there are those who would pass it up in such important times. This man is so solid, I would honestly about guarantee he would win a general election. They don’t come any finer or stronger than him. He has a natural ability to impress people and an easy manner to simply answer questions, handle debates, speeches and the like that is reassuring and convincing. But all because he isn’t as well known with ‘name recognition’ we have people telling us we need to settle for less. NO WAY!

I don’t think that will ever be a problem as Fred doesn’t appear ‘tough’ at all. In fact, he is practically a corpse. Don’t like these comments? Stay out of the Hunter thread! Deal with your own man EARNING his own vote. Fred is no Duncan Hunter.

The other candidates can earn it on their own. Too bad so many people really are only desperately voting AGAINST someone else. Hunter can be confident and assured that he has true believers and unlike the majority of the other candidates-they are actually voting FOR him!

That's nearly 6 voters per county. Juggernaut.

Duncan Hunter is a wonderful conservative. One more voice of reason and principle.

Yes, we need to be thankful for Duncan Hunter and we need to pray to God that people will finally wake up and vote for this man because hopefully our country doesn’t deserve a bad ending. I know they say end of times are coming and at times like these it certainly feels like it is coming rather soon but Duncan Hunter is one of the finest men we have had the fortune to vote for and make our President. And he is exactly the man these times call for. He knows how to lead and lead wisely. And I hope I do not continue to be disappointed in where this country and the GOP are going.

Such poor pitiful candidates outside of Duncan Hunter. We shall see how ‘electable’ they all are and then where are you when the GENERAL ELECTION proves lousy candidates lead to lousy results. Yes, this is an important election and that is why the Hunter supporters will not go elsewhere in this joke of voting for pathetic candidates with pathetic records that will not sell to the general public.

“Sorry for you.”

Just reporting the news.
Everyone knows the best candidates don’t always win. Without organization, a good candidate won’t go far. Duncan just didn’t build a good campaign organization. That’s his problem, not his message.
