dont hold your breath waiting for the huckster to do the right thing. The guy is a slimeball.
the huckster got 35000 votes in NC AFTER he dropped out and after he went on his nice trip to the Cayman islands.......I have little confidence in his followers to do the right thing.
But while running for his own reasons, the effect of his campaign is to be a conservative spoiler who helps the GOPe.
Because he was shiling snakeoil cure for diabetes and cancer , thats a really scummy thing to do.
And I still wish he would throw what seems to be considerable clout with some groups behind Ted Cruz. He is young and brilliant and Will be the next president of the United States, God willing! But thanks for clearing up his record!!
Just another full-term governor. His shortcomings are explained by his tenure in the state house.
Huckabee is obviously not as bad as evidenced by posts on FR.
However, we have better candidates in 2016 and he needs to
step aside. He had his chance, and moreover there is little
chance of him winning in 2016. It will be a spoiler role!
Please read post #20!
He has votes that he can deliver to a Republican candidate.
Alienating his supporters here for no good reason is why conservatives aren't making any progress in the Republican Party.
Spreading lies about anyone on FR is unnecessary and just an imitation of the liberal media.
Of course, maybe the above is why Gov. Huckabee is under attack on FR. Somebody is afraid of him.
I don’t think ANY REPUBLICAN candidate should be maligned on FR. Is’nt that what Ronald Reagan tried to preach? Most attack posts are one or two liners, with few specifics. This serves no useful purpose except help Hillary campaign with material for attack Ads.
Many posters are under the delusion that attacking other candidates will attract more people to their candidate. In reality it turns people off. Those posters are turning me off against their preferred candidate, which should not happen because he is really a great candidate.
Only specific I have seen re:Huckabee is his pardoning of some convicted felons. Personally I am against paroling/pardoning any convicts. However in fairness, almost every president and governor has pardoned someone.
As you pointed out, Huckabee governed in a fiscally responsible manner in Arkansas. That is the most important issue for any governor. Even Jeb Bush has a good record as governor in Florida.
