President Mike Huckabee

[deltex1]

We do not need a fundamentalist in the Oval Office.

You're good with the nonedamentalist you have now?

I like Huckabee...he could have made a better run in the '08 elections...but he was more interested in becoming a talk show host. He trounced every one in the early primaries...FNC wanted Giuliani, so they ignored him.

Who would you rather have on your airplane, a fundamentalist Christian or a fundamentalist Muslim?

Personally, I would prefer a hot porn star who wants to join the mile high club with me.

Can former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee win the presidency in 2016?

At least his kid will kill 5he dog before standing on it. Of course, given his kid's pushing 400lbs the dog wouldn't stand a chance.

With all the fundamentalist Muslims running for President next year, this question will probably decide the election.

Can former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee win the presidency in 2016?

For the sake of all that is worth salvaging, for those remaining liberties we have, this warfare-surveillance-corporate welfare state cretin needs to be kept out of office.

Can former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee win the presidency in 2016?

No. He is traveling backwards and the rest of the nation is moving forwards.

1. He has a past relationship with the Council of Conservative Citizens.
2. He is anti LGBT.
3. Maurice Clemmons.
4. David Barton.

Huckabee won a number of southern states in the 2008 primaries, all of them on Super Tuesday, if I recall. After that, he was dead in the water. Huckabee's greatest challenge would be within the GOP itself: McCainiacs were calling him a "socialist" and with that, put his candidacy to bed.

There have been 53 national polls thus far for 2016, pitting Hillary Clinton in one-on-one matchups against a number of known GOPers, making for 164 matchups. Of those 164, there have been 10 Clinton-Huckabee national matchups:

Clinton +21 (the most recent poll), +5, +9, +13, +7, +14, +17, +3, +15, +6. Hillary was way over the 50 mark in 5 of those ten.

In Arkansas, there have been 4 2016 polls, 15 total matchups, 3 of them against Huckabee, and he has won all three, with +12, +16 and +3.

However, in Florida, there have been 16 polls and 56 matchups. Of those matchups, 3 have been Clinton vs Huckabee, and Clinton has won with +9, +7 and +18. Imagine a Republican losing the Sunshine State by 18 points.

In Ohio, there has been less polling for 2016 thus far. There have been 7 polls, 36 matchups, only 1 of them Clinton vs. Huckabee: Clinton +8.

In Virginia, there have been 15 polls, 34 matchups, 2 of them Clinton vs. Huckabee: Clinton +8 and +15. Imagine a Republican losing Virginia by 15 points.

In terms of polling strength, Huckabee is probably the 2nd weakest GOP candidate, after Ted Cruz, who loses nationally and in many, many states by over 20 points.

I think Huckabee would be an interesting candidate who would do fairly well in Appalachia and the Bible Belt, and terribly in the rest of the nation, including most of the Big Sky states.

blahblahblah.
Your polls suck.
Anyway, Huckabee simply wont win. He lacks much charisma and his economic proposals run to the Democrat populist model, which has already failed. He does fine with social conservatives but that's about it. I wouldnt vote for him, although of course he will be worlds ahead of whomever the Dems pick.

You've named all his positives. What negatives do you think he has?
