My friend, your eloquent posts say more about you than even you imagine.

Please carry on, do not let anything I say hinder your quest for grandness and suaveness, not to mention the most insightful commentary I have ever witnessed.

The goal here is not to start a war with Russia

It will be difficult for the maniacs to oppose him. One thing in Huntsman's favor is that he and Romney cannot stand each other.

Ambassadors can and some have historically made mordantly terrible gaffes, behaved badly, and like Joe Kennedy Sr. backed our enemies.

Huntsman is a backstabbing POS, whose "qualifications" to be Ambassador to Russia, for this president, are questionable in the extreme.

And FYI...they do far more than go to dinners, throw them, and give a speech here and there.

I am not your "friend", never shall be, and like other posters , have a right to post my educated opinions to threads.

Your benighted sarcasm falls flat; is wasted nonsense.

So, I guess that you believe that Huntsman, who never has had anything even remotely "nice" to say about Trump, is a great choice. LOL

As you wish, I shall no longer address you in the customary "my FRiend".

As always, you are most definitely entitled to your opinion.

I, am also entitled to read, if I wish, your opinions, for the amusement value, if nothing else.

There was a time when that opinion carried weight, and you were definitely a blip on my radar.

Lately, not so much.

Alas, where has time gone?

Actually I hear one of the reasons is because Huntsman may be the only one to get Senate Confirmation. If Trump picks someone who has a wiff of Russia then they will be voted down.....McCain and others will see to it. Huntsman might be the only option.

You posted "friend"; not "FRiend".

Oh goody, goody gumdrops...an "ex-fan" of mine.

I had no idea of your existence, prior to this current back and forth, so obviously you have never even been a "blip" on my radar and frankly, I couldn't care less about your current opinion of my posts if I tried to, for the next 100 years. I do hope that you find that amusing; as amusing as I find your puerile posts to me. LOL

According to the article, Trump picked Huntsman for this post back last February.

And if he did pick him because he was told that nobody else would be accepted, then why not pick Obama, Hillary, Van Jones, or even James Comey? After all, we really need to send someone, anyone to Russian! ;^)

Yes, yes, the above was snarky and snide, but come on....sending a backstabbing #NEVERTRUMPER to bed the Ambassador to Russia, of all places in this era of RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA?

And didn't that mumbling moron, Caroline Kennedy do a whiz bang great job as Ambassador to Japan? LOL

Please pardon the delay in answering, as I am having to wipe the motor grease off my hands to type a response between breaks in my shop.

You do yourself justice.

Prior conversations not withstanding, I will likely find at least some amusement in your oh, opinions, for a long time to come.

Please never give up on your educated opining, as it would (may) be a great loss for this site.

Snark is not a winning position to take, nor becoming.

Nothing like appointing one of your enemies to a high profile position.

This will not end well.

“I think Huntsman is below a RINO. Not sure what to call him.”

A wussy democrat?

I posted about this when it was rumored months ago.

Trump criticized this guy on Twitter at one time for how he said that he sold this country to China. Trump complained China was ripping us off - who was the ambassador?

Why does he keep picking swamp people and not people who are fully aligned with his agenda? He is literally fighting the entire Washington and media establishment including his own party. Why not pick people who are in line with what he ran on? The media will never like him. The establishment will never like him.

He ran on better relations with Russia, and yet I don’t see it coming from this because the media LIKED this pick. When the media likes a pick, it’s no good. Why not pick Rohrabacher? He wants better relations with Russia and would have loved the job.

“This is an execrably stupid move and Trump is getting extremely BAD advice/he’s being dumb as a box of rocks.”

Well... Huntsman’s wife is hot. And, apparently Putin is attracted to hot women. Seems like a plus to me, lol!

Probably going to just use Huntsman as a secretary and not empower him to do a lot. Subtle slap at a guy liked by the left, who dislike(d)(s) Trump, and a Putin who they are so worried colluded with us?
