Jon Huntsman Sr., father of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. and a self-described “lifelong Republican,” argued that the tea party has ruined the Republican Party, and that the GOP doesn’t stand a chance unless someone like his son is elected. “The tea party has completely captivated and ruined the Republican Party today and they’ll show this in 2016,” Huntsman Sr. said last week, Yahoo News reported. “Unless a Jeb Bush comes in or John Huntsman Jr., the Republicans don’t have a prayer.” The Chinjunior Mr. Huntsman, who unsuccessfully sought the GOP nomination in 2012, now serves as the U.S. ambassador to

Indeed, only Republicans like Romney and McCain ever can win.
... whereas Jon Huntsman, Jr. captivated no one. Yep, he’s the one, lol.
He says that like it’s a bad thing.
As head of the TEA party, I take offense and promise a much larger march on Washingron.
In the words of Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."
We are all Goldwaters just like back when Mitt's dad called us "purveyors of hate."
This is the turd that started that failed ‘no labels’ party.
You aren’t the head of the Tea Party! I is.
And millions of others like us.
Silly Jon. It’s not an organization in the traditional sense. It’s much more of a threat to the elites everywhere. It’s a mindset.
Go away, silly, irrelevant, elitist.
The TP started as a disgruntled group of citizens, tired of conservative ideas being kicked to the side.

He obviously stands with Joe Scarborough, flush the pair of them
The original TEA Party candidate, Ronald Reagan, won in two tsunami landslides.
You know, an IDIOT, or BARF, or even an ARSEHOLE ALERT would have been nice with your post!
Dinosaurs out. Corruption, dynasties being rocked, love that idea!
I remember Jon Huntsman. He didn’t seem very easy to like or even to trust. Very snippy and petty as I recall. He even had his daughters acting out methods to diminish other republicans. I actually had expected Jon H. or one of his attractive daughters to be hired by MSNBC or maybe AL Jazeera by now as a talking head that does not believe America is an exceptional country. He’s like a richer, more bitter, more openly jealous version of Scott Brown, but again, without the likeability factor. We do not require J. Huntsman’s services, thanks but no thanks.
That quote is quite a compliment to the Tea Party.
If it wasn’t for the Tea Party, the GOP would be DEAD!
The TEA Party. All they ever do is win elections.
Jon Huntsman...where you turn when RINOs are too radically conservative for you.
Jon Huntsman Jr. was chosen as Ambassador to China by Obama, before he ran in the primaries. He’s basically a Communist Republican. I imagine his father is much the same.
