Then shame on voters who would give their vote to MH vs. Ted Cruz! Should be a no-brainer not to, but then there’s a reason the Repugnant Party and its members are called “stupid.”

[nfldgirl]

By the looks of him lately, he found them!

[antidisestablishment]

I once thought he was at least sincere-sincerely wrong, but just an amiable dope. Obviously, I was wrong— he is a low class slime ball who needs to be driven out of the public arena.

[willywill]

this country is, sadly, all about celebrity now. that’s why Obama won. Huckabee is the definition of wet noodle. why does he keep doing this.

[Iron Munro]

Imagine you own your own struggling small business.
Imagine it is an "All You Can Eat Buffett".
Imagine a large van pulls up in front.
Imagine this group piles out and heads for your front door.

Jim and Tammy Baker?

[Vigilanteman]

. . . just another one of Jeb’s stable horses.

More like a Judas Goat.

Mom!!! Dad !!!

What's the matter Susan?

Tell my brothers to quit blocking the sun. I'm freezing!

Huckabee won 8 primaries in 2008 and 2nd in 15 others but how he’ll show in
today’s group is probably not as good.

2008 wins

Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, West Virginia (caucus)
Tennessee, Kansas, Louisiana)

[Kartographer]

That is just the first tier candidates I assume? ;-)

Who would ever vote for snake oil salesman?

Plenty of folks. And the votes will come from Cruz. Many Christians are very gullible and will decide between Cruz and Huckabee but ultimately will vote for Huckabee because of familiarity and not seeing behind his thin veneer.

[reviled downesdad]

Huskter will bow out before Cruz because of money. We have to keep Cruz flush with cash.

[ansel12]

This must be about marketing himself and maintaining name identification.

[RitaOK]

Sadly, Huck is a mischief maker.

He will be conservative just long enough to take votes from conservatives. A huckster for the center, he is leveraging for his future, doing favors for Jeb to secure it.

Hopefully, he will have lost enough of his original support to go away sooner.

I have nothing nice to say about Huckabuck. Anything I do say would have to be censored so badly that there would only be punctuation left.

[Patton@Bastogne]

“Follow the Money ...”

[Old Yeller]

Uncle Buck and the Huck (and 3 other people).

[TheThirdRuffian]

“He has Zero chance.”

Of course. He’s just a spoiler candidate, pushed by the RINOs, to divide support from Cruz.

[jjotto]

Remember, candidates can pay themselves and their friends and relatives handsome salaries to make fake runs for president. I’m sure the Rove-Bush machine will make it worth his trouble, and no Bible huckster lacks for suckers to send him money to boot.
