Via Buzzfeed, former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman reminds us why he received the most favorable coverage from the media, and yet consistently polled at or near the bottom of the heap before dropping out of the GOP race.
Recounting his first experience on the presidential debate stage in Iowa last August, Huntsman says he was struck by the question Is this the best we could do?
Huntsman, the former Utah governor and once President Barack Obamas Ambassador to China, expressed disappointment that the Republican Party disinvited him from a Florida fundraiser in March after he publicly called for a third party.
This is what they do in China on party matters if you talk off script, he said.
Huntsman said he regrets his decision to oppose a 10-to-1 spending cuts to tax increase deal to cut the deficit at the Iowa debate lamenting: if you can only do certain things over again in life.
What went through my head was if I veer at all from my pledge not to raise any taxes
then Im going to have to do a lot of explaining, he explained. What was going through my mind was dont I just want to get through this?

Huntsman is a gutless turd.
I just can’t understand why this guy did so poorly in the republican primaries. Maybe we all knew he was a phony?
So I expect Jon Huntsman, former Utah overnor, and Mitt Ronmney’s cousin, to play a large role in the next administration should Romney be the president.
"我的马屁股和浪费空间里诺。"
An ink blot would look like China to him.
Small wonder this fool never had a chance in hell.....
I learned all I needed to know about Huntsman when Zero appointed him ambassador to China. Game over.
Huntsman is a communist-loving pansey who nobody ever listened to or respected. Jimmy Carter redux.
Milton Miteybad: “You know...this year, Jon Huntsman kind of reminds me of a sniveling dumbass.”
This mutt was at the beck and call of the biggest socialist/marxist/pinko in the country!!
There are different parties for a reason. People identify certain policies and actions with particular parties. When said party or politician deviates dramatically from the ideals and practices of the party, people offended by the changes are free to leave. If people like Huntsman want to start their own party, there’s nobody stopping him.
Nah... The GOP is more Fascist Italy while the DNC is more former Soviet Union.

what an a-hole...
Jon Huntsman = Charlie Crist = Traitors to the Republican party.
No thanks. I proudly vote Republican.
Well, he should know. This is a compliment coming from Huntsman.
Parley P. Pratt died in 1857. Romney and Huntsman are very distant cousins. If Romney wins, perhaps he will send Huntsman to back to China.
Huntsman was not a conservative governor and I was glad when he resigned to be an ambassador.
“Jon Huntsman: You know the GOP this year kinda reminds me of Communist China”
Well, then, one must assume that Huntsman is enamored of the GOP this year, given his affection for Communist China.
He was born with a silver spoon up his a$$
