I’m not sure Trump would want it either.

Trump would probably give Lieberman an ultimatum: change parties, or no dice.

I’m so relieved Trump didn’t choose someone that wants to divide up Israel even more.

Great choice to have someone with a biblical understanding of the land.

Would rather have Huck than Lieberman. Who cares whether Lieberman wants it? Huck’s a Christian and loves Israel. Couldn’t be a better fit.

Yup. But Huck would be good for this job if Trump does appoint him.

Huckabee was on Varney a while ago and all but admitted he was on his way to Trump Tower.

I really kinda hate to be the turd in the punchbowl...

Yeah, maybe he'd be a good ambassador....

But I sure wonder what the families of the Lakewood Four have to say about it.

Good point but I would still be inclined to believe it more than if Brietbart did not pass it along.

Huckabee also knows the importance of Jerusalem to the nation of Israel and Christians the world over.

Just the guy to move the US embassy from tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

I have mixed thoughts on Huckabee.

He sometimes buys into the media’s spin on things, then fires off as if what they were reporting hadn’t been skewed.

I generally like the guy, but I’ve never been convinced he was as close to a true Conservative as some folks thought.

While he lens heavily in that direction, he troubles me at times.

Well, I can think of worse people out there.

He may make a good ambassador.

Oh how humiliating for Loser Romney to make the trip to Trump Tower (Oval Office 2) to kiss the ring of President Elect Trump.
The man Mittens has tried to destroy since before the convention.

Schadenfreude baby!

I didn’t intend for this to be a put-down of Brietbart.

When it comes to Trump’s decisions, I want to hear it from him or his press secretary/spokesperson.

It isn’t critical to me that I hear it days or hours before his team announces any decisions on his part.

When Trump releases his decision, report that to me.
