    What a loon. With all these candidates running, the Republican primary field is starting to remind me of some version of "16 and counting" At this pace, it'll come out that Huckabee fondled Santorum, or something...nothing would shock me.

    Huckabee is absolutely awful. I don't think I loathe a current political figure more than I loathe him.

    Is it okay if I think Huckabee is just a troll, along with Donald Trump??

    What a numbskull. Can we just veto his citizenship and strand him somewhere in Canada already?

    Back in the day, George Wallace was a perennial candidate for Republican nominee for president. He even ran as an independent a few times. He was the illustrious governor of Alabama who, among other things, stood in the doorway of the school that the National Guard had been sent in to desegregate.

    The echoes of Wallace's bigotry and hatred can be seen in today's Republican candidates. The difference is that pretty much *all* of the Republican candidates are hateful bigots where he was an outlier back then.

    Wallace never ran as a Republican. Three times as a Democrat and once as an independent.

    That said, today's gop are of course the heirs to Wallace's bigotry and hatred. Were he alive and politically active, he'd be a Republican. So fascinating how the political parties have realigned since the mid-1960s...so unclear what could possibly have caused it.

    I think I heard some answer to that question before and believe me it boggles my mind too i think it had to a lot to do with Barry Goldwater if i remember right. There was some kind of movement that changed party power in certain states.

    Well Huckabee is a idiot but even if he wins the nomination which I think is unlikely America will most likely not elect a far right candidate to office. The good thing about the republicans is they are moving too far to the right to desperately please that small base and that will help democrats keep the White House in my opinion. Huckabee is one of the worst when it comes to gay rights so nothing he says surprises me.

    Mike needs to face facts: it's over. The GOP will be remember as a party consisting of idiots, full of ignorance and bigotry, signifying nothing.

    I'm a republican, and I gotta admit, the current crop of candidates is pretty embarrassing. It would be refreshing to have a serious candidate who isn't an evangelical, and who isn't fixated on who or what everyone is sleeping with. That man will get my vote! Those issues should NEVER be part of a party's platform.

    Agreed. But i do admit when John Kasich gets in I think he would be the most likable republican to me but I don't personally know all of his views yet.

    Let's be honest, that's never going to happen unless there's a split in the party and the American Taliban/Tea Party wing go off and form their own party. The alarm bells should have gone off at the top of the GOP that pandering to them and the Koch Brothers was costing them elections, but instead they've just become even more influential.

    It's madness. They're going to get thumped in 2016 and they'll just convince themselves that they lost because they weren't conservative enough.

    Well Hucakbee doesn't look to have a chance anyway.

    The current polls and betting odds suggest Jeb Bush is the favorite, with Marco Rubio a distant second.

    Don't get me wrong, the above are still bigots, but I don't we have to worry about all these bigoted candidates, at the end of the day only one can come out on top, and even then they might not get elected (fingers crossed).

    I'm kinda blown away that there are people that look at the last time a Bush was president and say, "yep! Let's do that again". I even voted for that turkey the first time but: “There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”
