Clearly the guy has some pretty strong experience as a former Governor, and Ambassador.

What I don't get from him, is any sort of ... well, cojones.

No rock-ribbed Yankee pride. No "America First", despite his international background.

It's quite disappointing. I propose honestly this bit of advice, and would welcome any other imput, which could propel Huntsman skyward - all the way up to 1.5% in the polls!!

Hire Donald Trump, and listen to him.

The guy gets it. Make RECIPROCAL trade, a campaign issue. Go gung-ho, 100% pro America. Over the top.

Anyone else care to try to explain to Hunstman why he's not winning over anyone by being a leftwing puppet?

I'd really like the guy to turn out to be something, other than what he's so far seemed to be.

(that would be: a rather unmotivating, milquetoast rino)

I bet if Romney and Perry both have major scandals and resign from the race, Huntsman might crack 2%. Otherwise, I don’t think so.

” a rather unmotivating, milquetoast rino”

The reality and the illusion are the same. He comes across as a bag of bi partisan platitudes without a core.

Run as a Democrat. People abandoning ship on Zero would jump onto him like a lifeboat.

Since he donned concrete shoes and joining the race, I heard him in a couple of interviews. If he had just one thing to say that ANYONE wanted too hear, he would still be at 1%. He's about as exciting as soggy puffed rice.

In bygone days I was a Duncan Hunter fan. At his peak that year he was about where Huntsman is today. The difference is, Hunter had a worthy message.

In the end, the vital thing for any candidate is to properly self assess. A smart one will realize he has nowhere to go but down. He can then gracefully withdraw.

If he's at 1% and wants to be really graceful he won't try to direct his two supporters from the caucus states toward anyone in particular.

He can’t get above 1%

He’s a retarded A-hole

A total and complete establishment Sycophant

And a lame lap dog for WrongKnee.

His only purpose is to help WrongKnee mitigate the so called Mormon Problem.

Dude needs to call it a day and go home

Huntsman .. ain’t going anywhere

Working for the enemy destroying the united states

He makes the excuse that he was trying to work from within but if he was actually being subversive to the Obama Administration, they would have never hired him and would have soon fired him.

I don’t buy it for a moment

Huntsman is a DOA Candidate.

Why? What motivates you to have any interest in this candidate that 99% of us have dismissed outright?

Huntsman’s tax plan is shockingly good, but I don’t believe he really believes in it. I don’t trust him.

Huntsman’s a RAT. MSNBC loves his guts. I suspect a lot of RATS would rather have him than Obama.

I propose a thread, to advise former US Ambassador to the People's Republic of China Jon Huntsman, how he can become popular and get his mojo.

Don blackface and pretend to be Obama. That's his only shot!



(same as Newt's)
