Mike Huckabee Pushes Senators to Resign or Quit WH Run
WFIN News ^ | 5/6/2015 | Staff

Posted on 05/06/2015 10:52:19 AM PDT by VinL

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.”

Talk about something important, like your Common Core and Amnesty positions.

Huck needs to keep his powder dry for Hillary.

Americans are looking for the best person for the job - that might include people who are currently employed.

'U.S. senators: Sens. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio'

They don't have the best voting attendance records. We pay their salary, at least they could do is vote.

Rubio stands out for not showing up for work.

WHAT A COMPLETE IMBECILE. Hey Huckster...did you resign your Arkansas Governor job when YOU were running for reelection.

I don't agree with Huck but there's a difference between wanting a different job, and wanting to continue to do the one you already have. And a governor doesn't have to travel the country to seek reelection. Your argument is specious.

Any serious candidate might want to distinguish himself from the competition in a meaningful way. Some foreign or domestic policy difference.

But Huck's vapid, cheap and absolutely empty criticism here is a real giveaway.

My senator is doing the will of his constituents.

Exactly. They can vote him out if they are unhappy about it.

“Huck needs to keep his powder dry for Hillary....”
*****************************************************************************************************
Ahh...that is NOT the Huckster’s current mission. His (unstated) mission is to take shots at credible TRUE conservative candidates such as Ted Cruz from WITHIN the primary race in an effort to weaken them.

Huckster probably just has his briefs in a wad because he couldn’t keep working at Fox News and run for office, too-after all, it was the only job he has had in years...

Funny. I don’t remember Huck saying that Obama, Hillary, Kerry etc. needed to resign before running for higher office, either.

I wonder how many OTHER Democrat “talking points” HUCK been practicing up on.

And I wonder if it was Hillary’s slush fund or the GOPe’s slush fund (or both!) that persuaded HUCK to just get out there and attack! REPUBLICANS!?
