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.

I don’t think so.

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.

“With far right Texas Sen. Ted Cruz”

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 know a lot of you guys despise Huckabee, but he gave a pretty good speech today. Worth watching.

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

Clearly a vote for the huckster is a vote against Walker Cruz......

This time around, the field has changed. With far right Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the son of an evangelical pastor, and party favorite Scott Walker, the son of both a pastor and a Sunday school teacher, likely present in this year’s running, Huckabee will have a difficult time carving out his own niche. It used to be enough to simply say, “I’m the religious candidate!” Now, Huckabee will have to prove why his brand of Christianity is more worthy of a partisan vote than his GOP opponents....

As part of his 2008 bid, Huckabee proposed a 23% national sales tax in addition to existing local sales taxes. That adds up to 30%+ in most areas. Huckabee needs to prove why voters should render an over 30% tax to Caesar, but only a 10% tithe to God.

Any time a culture rejects God's sovereignty over them, looks to government to save them, and neglects to combine a robust faith with the virtue of personal responsibility, that decision will cost the people dearly....Contrary to the thinking of many, Government isn't divinely authorized or sufficiently competent to provide things such as housing, food, child-care, health care, etc. Just because someone is in need that doesn't give the state the right to coercively take another person's property and give it to someone the government says should have it. That kind of taxation is not charitable and neither is it moral. Instead, it is a violation of the 8th Commandment of God, "Thou shalt not steal"....
