Just about everyone on FR likes and agrees with Hunter, and that probably also goes for Republicans and conservatives generally.
But he doesn’t have that certain something, call it charisma or whatever.
Not to mention that I’ve heard his campaign press manager being interviewed in a broadcast forum with honchos from other campaigns, and he is flat-out dull as donuts, and not terribly articulate. 95 percent of the press/PR people I’ve ever known (in a previous professional life) are outgoing, fun, smart, responsive, and ..... relentless. Hunter’s flak seems like the opposite.
That all fine and you’re probably right. Hunter’s campaign, from what I’ve heard, has been disorganized.
But still, the point is that the GOP claims to be the party tough on terror and tough on illegal immigration. However, the candidate who has actually done something about securing the border AND who has as much credentials as anyone else on that stage for leading as Commander-in-Chief during wartime is polling the lowest.
That probably says something about his campaign staff, but it also says something about the Republican Party and its voters, and it’s not positive.
Are we voting for personality or the man? LOL
Look what we got when Clinton and Carter were elected? Even Arnold. This should tell you that all the money; publicity; cuteness will not elect the best candidate. And so far; it’s batting a thousand we won’t elect the best candidate. Aren’t some of you atleast wondering why we have the candidates we do and why we are so cynical because we know most of those candidates are running opposite of what they say they are?
We have got to start electing our Presidents and public officials on the basis of issues; not “can they win” electability. This not only destroys good candidates; we also lose our values and goals. Our foundation crumble and our issues are lost.
