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.”

Uniparty criminal hacks everywhere agree, if you can't beat them at the ballot box, charge them with a bogus crime and declare them ineligible.

Asa Hutchinson will never get my vote because he is a spineless weasel.

Yes, because every MAGA patriot is saying to themselves, “I hope Trump gets out of the way because I definitely want to vote for Asol Hutchinson.”

Must be running as a Democrat - he will go nowhere fast if he thinks the problem is Trump, not the vicious and malicious Democrats. His support in the GOP will be the same as Flounders grades in Animal House - zero-point-zero.

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.

Is Asa Hutchison mentioned in Red Handed, the Peter Schweizer? If this Red Handed theme goes back far enough to include Trudeau’s father, it has to go back to the Bushes, too. ….and all of their friends.

Biden in the White House has emboldened everybody this side of the grave to believe they are qualified to run.

In fact, it is proof that "Who counts the votes" is the determining factor.

I realize that as a former governor this man was surrounded by yes men who told him what he wanted to hear. Undoubtedly a few of them are still hanging around telling him that if he puts his ideas and credentials up against Trump's, moderates, liberals, and even conservatives will flock to his camp.

The question: Does Asa have any sense of how much he is disliked by Republican primary voters?

And how the liberal/moderate, liberal/liberal, and far liberal lane is completely taken by Biden et al.

This Republican diphsit isn’t even worthy of comment.

The seat reserved for the village idiot on the Walmart Board will remain vacant I guess.

Hutchinson sounds more senile than Joe Biden,

Running as a Democrat would increase his odds from zero to less than 1%.

That should help Haley pull more votes from DeSantis
