Oh I know those folks. Some are on FR. But the issue you describe isn’t one that can be solved by becoming more liberal. It can only be solved by a candidate with core conservative values. As for Huck carrying Iowa, I’m sure it would have been a different outcome after the debates. Huck showed his true colors during the debates, and was anything BUT Christian.
You are wrong. The exact same sentiments are still here. We have a candidate for governor who is hoping to win the primary by using the Huckabee network and Huckabee’s endorsement.
