“The RNC and the state GOP organizations choose the candidates by how they spend their money and how they organize the primaries.”

So what was done in this regard, that impacted the outcome for Hunter, since he personifies the FR view of a true conservative?

The primary dates and formats are set long before the races. All candidates compete by the same rules.
