Mike Huckabee gears up for 2016 run
Washington Examiner ^ | September 15, 2014 | Byron York

Posted on 09/16/2014 6:33:19 AM PDT by C19fan

Mike Huckabee is leading the Republican presidential race in Iowa. And not by just a point or two: in a new CNN survey, the former Arkansas governor, winner of the 2008 Iowa caucuses, is at 21 percent, with his closest GOP pursuer, Rep. Paul Ryan, nine points behind. Rand Paul is 14 points back, Chris Christie and Jeb Bush 15 behind.

Few frontrunners choose not to run. And when Huckabee, not yet a candidate and officially undecided, invited a group of reporters to meet with him at a hotel outside Washington Monday, he certainly looked like a man preparing to jump into the race.

he is a Kucinich. He figured out how to make money being a candidate for “useful idiots”. He does not care who wins as long as some sucker will give him money. (or be paid to be a spoiler)

He keeps the low information bible thumper voters distracted with delusion.

I was worried with Huck took the spot on Fox, he was doing so to advance his political agenda.

Apparently that is so.

Huck, don’t do this. A lot of people support your beliefs, but you are not the person to win.

Don’t do this.

Ted Cruz is the anti-Huckleberry. And anti-Jeb. And anti-Myth.

Only the housebroken ones get in the race this early.

Actual GOP contenders must bide their time in announcing since they will be fighting a constant two-front war with the Democrats and the media with the media far more combative.

I’ve always thought a smart conservative candidate could stay below the media’s radar & wait until everyone was sick of the early birds before getting in.

I believe it’s even more than that.

The media is promoting some candidates, now.

Such as Huck. With all due respect to him, the media isn’t promoting Huck because they want him to win.

They are promoting Huck precisely because they believe he will lose.

Don’t do this Huck.

He’s fine until he plays his bass guitar using music, with these young bands. If you notice, the band’s bass player sits out, letting Huck play his bass.

I don’t want my president to be an overweight rock band wannabee.

It's like watching a marathon of the worst episode of your least favorite TV show on every channel.

It’s the rules of the dance. They all have to at least step onto the floor.

Exactly. Remember everything you hated about Compassionate Conservative and multiply it by 10.

If those are the leaders in Iowa, they shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
