I think that Cruz has already prevented that, Southern Baptist Cruz and his Southern Baptist minister father, and his better politics, is a force that wins the Christian conservatives.
Christian conservatives are not in the fix they were in, in 2008, when it was Huckabee, Mormon Bishop Romney, and John McCain.

Apparently Huckabee’s game plan is to run personal attacks on his opponents. That is a big turn off for Conservatives. He lost the primary the first day of his candidacy.
Maybe there’s still time for him to get his gig back at FOX NEWS. He could interview TED CRUZ.

If lying is his religion, then maybe, but I do think Hillary has him beat there.

What I find more disturbing than his RINO views ,is the fact that his quest for power is so important to him that he has to continue running over and over and over again. He reminds me of Hillary in that way. Her whole reason for existence seems to be about amassing more power over people.

I honestly believe that Jeb Bush's team is so clueless that they think this stalking horse is going to be able to drain enough religious conservatives from real Republicans that his "candidacy" will be helpful to them.
Don't see any other reason for the Huckster to be "back" in the race.

Nah. Nice guy but a too soft and cuddly (figuratively speaking), like the Charmin teddy bear. This is NO time for teddy bears. We need grizzlies.

Gosh, I wonder what party Mzz Schmitz identifies with? /sarc
As for Huck...stick a fork in him. It’s not 2008 or 2012 anymore. Conservatives have never had a better, deeper field of choices than now. We don’t have to settle this time, and while I think Huckabee is a good man, he’s not the guy to lead conservatives to victory in 2016.

I agree.
This idiot is a Jeb Bush paid for Stalking horse strategy .
Huckster is a Con Artist with expensive taste.
He built a massive palace in the FL panhandle from I suspect McCain’s wife stalking horse funds .
A greedy con like Elmer Gantry who needs to go away.

The real question is - can Huckabee and Carson peel off enough votes from Cruz to give the nomination to Jeb.
Arrgh.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
We don’t watch Huck’s show too much, but when we do, we enjoy it. His encouragement in supporting Chick-fil-A was ridiculously successful. I would imagine this will lend support to him as well [from social conservatives; the religious vote].
We’ll keep reading, praying, and learning about Cruz.
Does anyone think Jindal might still throw his hat into the ring? He’s been the [brilliant] guy we have wanted in the bout all along.

Common Core makes him toxic. We don’t need any more big government leaders.

I for one am sick to death of politicians who change their “strategies” because they haven’t got unchanging principles
