Republicans don’t like the fact that he increased his state budget, while cutting taxes, putting Utah in one of the most solid financial positions in the country? You don’t like that he has one of the highest ratings in the country as Governor from the CATO Institute? You don’t like that he has executive experience, foreign policy experience AND a record of fiscal governance that would make any conservative proud? That he is a billionaire, who oversees his own Cancer Foundation?
America is a center-right country, Huntsman is strongly pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment and a fiscal conservative with a long record of accomplishment not just as a 2 term governor of Utah [with an 80% approval rating]; he’s also served in Reagan, G.H.W. Bush and G.W Bush’s administration in numerous positions in commerce and trade. This guy knows his stuff and WE NEED a President like that.
When Obama appointed Huntsman, DC insiders thought they’d knocked Huntsman’s candidacy out of the water, congratulated Obama on his shrewd move.
Huntsman is also perhaps the single American politician who most understands the nation which will most prominently figure in America’s future - for good or otherwise:
The People’s Republic of China.
The sooner America begins to correct our national blindness and start dealing rationally with history’s largest single communist nation which is rapidly aiming to knock America from the world stage - the better.
Haven’t heard Huntsman’s international trade positions yet, but he would certainly be in a position to understand the gravity of what we face.
Rather than ignoring the HUGH issue - as everyone seems determined to do.
