Wasn’t the movie “A Face in the Crowd” about him?

Just waiting to see if other Republican presidential contenders will seek out Christian support.

Reagan won in 2 landslides cause he didn’t ignore Christian voters.

Carter won on the Christian vote. Just saying.

Uhm K.

No.

Sure, sure. He’ll sell his candidacy as one that seeks to shape policy objectives and make the tent bigger and more inclusive .

I know..Carter didn’t ignore them either.

Dole, the Bushes, Mccain and Romney didn’t do to well after ignoring Christian evangelicals.

I don’t know what or who a “Christian Evangelical” is suppose to be..

I’m a Christian, myself...

and Romney ignored the Christians, period...

The Huckster wants the word “RINO” removed from the discourse. I think I know why lol.

I thought Ted Cruz was a Christian - much better choice.

Walker/Cruz 2016

Get governnent OUT OF OUR LIVES.

The Huckster was one who wanted to regulate one’s food choices. As we all know, when elected, this morphs into other regulations.
American’s also are worried about jobs and the economy and his speech was centered around abortion. Wrong move at this time when you want to be elected

The last thing we need is Huck peeling Christian evangical voters away from voting for an actual conservative.

Just as with Christie, it’s probably good for 2016 that Huck has stepped in it like this.

Women go to their doctors for birth control. With Obamacare they are forced to pay for all kinds of coverage (e.g., sex change, ED) they will never need. It’s not surprising that it would be popular with them to have what they actually go to the doctor for covered as well.

By being laughably on the wrong side of this issue, Huck is hurting the conservative cause overall, however, which is unfortunate.

Walker’s a huge pro-amnesty guy—I don’t want him anywhere near the presidency.

True—they are both bad solutions for president.

Huckabee wants to harness the power of government to do “good”.

AKA a statist.

Yes, of course he’s running for President. And no, he won’t win the GOP nomination.

But what he’s really good at is siphoning off enough low-information voters of the Evangelical persuasion to ensure that the establishment-backed candidate faces a divided conservative base.
