Asa Hutchinson announces 2024 presidential bid, calls for Trump to withdraw
Washington Examiner ^ | April 02, 2023 09:25 AM | Brady Knox

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) announced Sunday that he is running for president in 2024.

The former Republican governor, and frequent critic of former President Donald Trump, took aim at the GOP front-runner in his announcement, both indirectly and directly.

"I have made a decision, and my decision is that I'm going to run for president of the United States," Hutchinson, 72, said in an interview with Jonathan Karl on ABC’s This Week, adding that he will make his formal announcement later in the month.

“I am going to be running. And the reason, as I’ve traveled the country for six months, I hear people talk about the leadership of our country, and I’m convinced that people want leaders that appeal to the best of America, and not simply appeal to our worst instincts,” he continued. “I believe I can be that kind of leader for the people of America.”

Another Spineless Ass! ASA!

Foolish and despicable GOPe stooge, the Grand Old Party is a three ring circus full of ‘em.

Where’s Dubya on the treasonous indictment of Trump? Even Jeb! has come out from behind the quacamole bowl and his wife’s skirts to criticize the fraudulent Bragg. Dubya? Not a peep, because he’s part of the Globalist Insurrection and doesn’t want to irritate his Masters.

Must be money to be made in running for president even when you know you have no chance.

The former Republican governor, and frequent critic of former President Donald Trump,

I’m glad to see Asa switched parties. It was about time he was honest with himself and the American people and ran as a Democrat. /s

He is about as Milquetoast as Romney. Mister Excitement, he isn’t. His rallies will rival McCain’s. Ole Mc got a crowd of 200 in Louisiana when Obama was getting crowds of a few thousand. One of Mc’s campaign trips took him to New Hampshire where he was met by an entourage of one (1) — a local reporter. He will be fighting for 3%. Borders? He would be GWB-esque.

Arkansas has moved on from RINO Hutchinson. He is just another RINO Grifter cashing in on his political creds. He is looking for a job involving political experience that will continue a very cushy life he has lived as governor of Arkansas. I hate to use the word hate. But there it is.

What? No Lamar Alexander? Bob Dole in a jar?

Like adding more cancer to fight the current cancer.

Why do loser politicians like this run knowing they’ll never even get close to being nominated? Is it just the money?

What a joke! Assa must live in an echo chamber.

His bathroom mirror told him he’s the bestest candidate ever.

MAGA is so appealing to our worst instincts. Yes, Hutchinson is savy enough to sniff that out. Yes sir.

Now, did he say what he has that is so superior to MAGA?

He did say his leadership, but since Trump has been around, anyone who mentions personal accomplishments is a boastful cave man type (a vulgarian), is “all about him,” is probably orange, and tweets. So he could not possibly mean that he has accomplished anything at all.

Bring it on, Asa. Get out on the campaign trial and see how much the base of the party hates you and those like you.

Yeah, the other day AH said that Trump should stand down now that he’s been indicted. Stevie Wonder could’ve seen this coming.

He’s Running to be DeSantis VP when Trump is put down like a sick dog. People loved Old Yeller until he got sick—in the end they had to shoot him. Trump will become, so they hope, a footnote in history as the most corrupt president of all, in the books written by educated Democrat Historians.

“The RINO Neo-Cons are coming out of the woodwork.

Hutchison, Christie, Haley, T.Scott, and Sununu.

More on the near horizon, I’m sure.”

We need as many as possible to come out and dilute the RINO vote with DeSantis.
