Huckabee’s job to erode the Tea Party and the rest of the Right

I was never a Huckabee fan, but after hearing about the guy he let out of prison killing 4 cops, you’d think that would be enough to dissuade anyone from voting for him.

Besides his support of Commie Core and amnesty..............

In a debate of the 2008 GOP POTUS primary, Fred Thompson absolutely defined Huckabee, who had said the Reagan Revolution was over ...

The direction Governor Huckabee would take us in … liberal economic policies … liberal foreign policies … taxpayer funded programs for illegals … that’s not the model of the Reagan coalition, that’s the model of the democratic party.

He will call up Jesus to fix it all. I do not suffer fools well.

Still waiting on data instead of your crybaby bs.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Which explains nothing about all the Huckabee support in the US.

But you care nothing about that, only cheap excuses to assuage your delicate condition.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Huckabee is as serious as any candidate and will either topple Bush or be the last one standing against him.

For you sweet petunia - Washington Times

At the moment, Mike Huckabee earns the highest favorability ratings at 54 percent, followed by Sen. Rand Paul and Mr. Bush, both with 52 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio at 51 percent, Gov. Scott Walker at 51 percent and Sen. Ted Cruz at 46 percent.

Go ahead and rant on them now.

There is a reason why they call it Pew.

Like the pews in church.

Huck makes my skin crawl.

Me, too!

Shilly Huckabee, the Reagan Revolution was not just about Ronald Reagan, it was what Ronald Reagan and others believed in.

The 2nd Reagan Revolution is just getting started with Ted Cruz.

The Reagan Revolution is what it’s called because people need a name or a liable to put on it or associated with a belief.

LOL on the LaRaza Rick comments.

Mike Huckabee is like the man in the movie : A Face in a Crowd with Andy Griffith.

Lonesome Rhodes.

"Favorability" is not a poll which gauges whom you would elect for POTUS.

Here is a recent straw poll from the SRLC which had this to say (way down at the bottom) about Huckabee's electability ... Huckabee, who surely would need to win Southern states to even have a chance in the primary, oddly was absent.

Mike Huckabee has ZERO chance to win the GOP nomination. He is either in it for personal ego or money, or as the gOpE's candidate to siphon off conservative votes from Ted Cruz.

[Jane Long]

Hickabee is a stalking horse, and a bad one at that.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Having "favorability" is a good place to start in a campaign.

I wonder how many candidates, who some people claimed had "ZERO chance" (a little tense there buddy?) went on to become President. Probably almost all of them.

I don’t see anyplace on that poll whether these are likely voters. In general, these polls ask an “approval” question, and because of it being an open poll and not of likely voters, it is really a positive recognition poll. Huck has had a tv show for years now, and he is positively received.

However, I’d be interested more in a hard question put to likely voters: “Which republican candidate would you prefer to be president?” Offer no names and make it open-ended.

The policies of Huck are the same or to left of Jebby. Huck had his one and only chance in 2008. And the only reason he got the traction he did then was the main stream media was giddy at the fact that they were able to goose his standings in the polls. They relished the opportunity to have him be the GOP nominee, since he was the very personification of their worst satires of a conservative rube. They propped him up with the sole intention of knocking him down later.

Unlike the '08 field, the 2016 field includes conservative stalwarts Ted Cruz and Scott Walker. Even Rubio and Santorum are well to the right of Huck. He has ZERO chance. And even he knows that.

Which begs the question ... why is this gomer in the race?!

Huckabee's Plethora of Pardons

Huckabee: Anybody with an IQ above Broccoli, knows I am a conservative

A plea from (an) Arkansas Christian conservative

I don’t want to use the word conspiracy, but …

Which candidate has mental disorder?(#41)

Huck is yesterday’s news.

FWIW, I really think that RIGHT NOW he’s taking support from Bush instead of from Cruz. He’s a middle of the road, pro-’path to citizenship’, big government republican. He has tried so carefully to remain a congenial moderate that it is hurting Bush.
