I have seen the divide the enemy tactic in elections.
You don’t need a stong showing in a third party candidate, just A showing.
Huckabee creates the illusion.
However huckabee HAS NO MONEY. He is a MSM and troll only phenomenon.
I know what they are attempting. I just believe if he wins in spite of these tactics he’ll have effectively made the case he can bypass any media limitations placed in his path for being a Republican running against Hillary. That should give people confidence if this occurs.
As for Huckabee, well, Huckabee is a social conservative Governor from the South. Under normal conditions this nomination would be a slam dunk for him because the GOP base loves all three of those items. the problem for Huckabee is that he is NOT Hayley Barbour, an actual conservative southern Governor. Huckabee is conservative on ONE issue. hit him long and hard on amnesty, growth of government and the war and it’ll drive him back out of contention.
BTW, I just visited stoptheaclu.com and they have the vid up of the big three” debating who’s a conservative. that’s all I’ve seen of the debate and I’m calling thompson the winner based on that/ Why? because someone finally came out and told a conservative audience item by item where rudy’s liberalism has taken him on the issues. I noticed the crowd quited as he read off that litany of liberalism and that Rudy couldn’t really counter it.
i don’t know how he’ll reflect in the polls after this debate. i don’t care about immediate impact. What I care is that for the first time the conservative audience had it defined for them that supporting Rudy doesn’t just mean you get a 9-11 “hero” and tolerate his pro choice positions. It’s much more then that. fred needs to read their record again. that’s all he has to do really. keep reading these people’s records to the audience over and over again.
Yes, Huckabee is a DBM-pushed Arkansas troll.
