Of course a good candidate like Hunter could get into office, but not with today's Americans, who believe what they hear in the news media and believe that the candidate with the most money is the best candidate for president.
In a JTF America candidates like Hunter and Tancredo would win the nomination and become president.
I believe Hunter is capable of defending his record and character against any attacks from CFR or other elitists during a general election.
The problem is with the rushed primary schedule. Unlike some senators who skip many senate votes to campaign, Hunter is not going to abandon his current duty as a congressional rep, to campaign. So he doesn't have as much time to campaign as others and isn't going to be making over a hundred trips to Iowa. People in Iowa seem to want politicians to visit there almost every day and to treat them like babies and to beg each one of them for their votes.
Hunter is gaining popularity among conservatives (there was a poll that showed an increase in his national support to 4%) but with the rushed primary schedule, there's probably not enough time for him to become a more competitive challenger during the primaries.
Hunter's record and character are proven. People usually like what he has to say (he won the Texas straw poll which was a couple weeks after the Iowa one and did well in some other small ones) but one difference with him compared to many of the other politicians is that he's not just rhetoric. His rhetoric is proved by his actions.
