The press wants to promote Huckster b/c they agree w/ his economic policies and at the same time think he’s the easiest Republican for Democrats to defeat in November.
A Socialist who uses the Bible to justify socialism would kind of be the media’s *not dry* dream for a Republican nominee, wouldn’t he?
Very reminiscent of a fanatical Imaan using Islam to justify fascism.
A socialists dream outcome would be turning off the masses to the Bible and renounce our unalienable rights given by God.
But once the evangelical pro-life contingent realizes that Huckabee doesn’t measure up, they will be looking for another evangelical, Pro-life candidate. The only other evangelical is Duncan Hunter. The evangelicals will feel more comfortable with Hunter than with Thompson and his Laodicean approach.
