Mike Huckabee dropped his biggest hint to date yesterday that he might run for president in 2016. Should he run, his national name ID and his strong 2008 run probably doom any chance Rick Santorum has (Santorums 2012 vote largely overlapped with Huckabees 2008 backers). But it also throws a huge monkey wrench into any hopes Senator Ted Cruz has of winning the nomination.

Really? Well, maybe. He would be the chosen of the RINO and cave in wing of the Republican party.
I’ll vote for Ted, but he tells it like it is and that scares most of the spineless voting majority.

Cop killing supported, Huckaliar, could win, but only because a great many republican voters are dumber than a box of rocks.

( Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin and Mike Lee speak for me, most everyone else is just noise.)
To: C19fan
How so? Cruz will run circles around him and will win a large chunk of the fiscal and foreign policy conservatives as well as a portion of the social-first voters. That’s more than Huck can muster.

If idiot Huckster gets traction, I’m a third party voter.
He’s not electable.

Ted Cruz is a Natural Born Citizen.
Those who claim otherwise are completely ignorant of the law.

Anyone who does anything to hurt the chances of Ted Cruz to get the nomination and win the election is a traitor to the country and should be treated as such.
To: Diogenesis
Is your post a baiting exercise?
Since is has nothing to do w the article.
Huck draws no support away from Cruz enthusiasts.

Whats next? Speculation that McCain will run again?
Most of those who tried in 2012 and a couple from 2008 are hinting that they are going to run again.
They are hinting to see what kind of money might be available. As costly as the presidential campaigns and primaries have become, potential candidates need to lock up some heavy financial backers early.

Does this idiot honestly think that Compassionate Conservative Nanny Huckabee is going to throw a monkey wrench in any conservative’s plans? If Huckabee does, then I will never vote Republican again. The party will be so far gone on fiscal issues that it won’t be worth listening to or supporting.
