Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s opponents in the race for the White House who are senators should either resign or drop out of the contest, he said on ABC’s Good Morning America Wednesday.
“If a person has a job that the taxpayers are paying for, shouldn’t that person do that job?” Huckabee, a Republican who said Tuesday he was running for president, told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on GMA.
Three of his opponents in the Republican presidential field are U.S. senators: Sens. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. Asked whether he thought his opponents should resign, he called it a clear choice.
“I just believe it’s a matter of integrity to say, ‘I don’t want this job that I just got elected to, I think I want another job,’” he said. “OK, then resign the job you want, or the job you have, and go out there and seek the one you want.”

How would he know?
Pardon me???
Don't tip your hand and reveal the job the GOPe has assigned you in these primaries too soon, Huckster.
I don't give a shit if you're a dog catcher, Joe the plumber, or Alfred E Neuman ... we need a real president
I wouldn't mind resurrecting Eisenhower.
I want my senator to run for president. I want my senator to stay in the Senate in the meantime. My senator is doing the will of his constituents.
Go blow Mike.
Funny. I don’t remember Huck saying this when John McCain ran for president.
WHAT A COMPLETE IMBECILE. Hey Huckster...did you resign your Arkansas Governor job when YOU were running for reelection.
Anyone who gives ANY credibility to this GRIFTER is not thinking straight.
How about the governors. By the way who is paying this guy?
” What a POS.”
I wonder how much money Rove promised him ?
And this ... Huckabee Son Hangs Dog, Father Fires Cop
Exactly. Or even when Barak Hussein ran either.
And someone with a show on TV who gets virtually free face time should either give his opponents the same face time or resign... A$$hat
This ‘dare’ from Mike Huckabee almost confirms my belief that he was put there primarily to prevent some of the Young Radicals i.e. Cruz, Walker, Paul from gaining any traction. I don’t believe Mike’s backers expect him to be nominated either. He is a Stalking Horse for unnamed benefactors. If I were Ted or Scotty, I would NAME those benefactors loud and clear. WHO OWNS HUCK?, for how much, and for what actions in particular?
Excellent point - shouldn’t the target senators’ actual constituents decide what integrity is in this case, and not some also-ran buffoon governor?
:)
That will include Governors-— Walker, Jindal Kasich, others.
Should a GOP candidate for President demand that his party forfeit all these seats? Just asking.
Huck - as an ex governor - has a luxury in saying that. All he has to do is quit a talking head job.
“If a person has a job that the taxpayers are paying for, shouldn’t that person do that job?”
This explains why Huck is running. He thinks he’s the most qualified because he hasn’t really had a job since 2007.
This from a guy who let his son torture a dog to death and then fired a cop for doing his job by investigating it? Integrity and honesty are not words I would associate with Huckabee. He should just shut up and eat some fried squirrels.
