Jon Huntsman Compares GOP to Communist China
On behalf of everyone who recognized Huntsman as an unhinged RINO loon, allow us to say… “Phew!”
Via Buzzfeed:
Former Republican candidate Jon Huntsman took a battle axe to his own party, comparing it to China’s Communist Party and criticizing it’s standard bearer in a wide-ranging interview at the 92nd Street Y Sunday night.Recounting his first experience on the presidential debate stage in Iowa last August, Huntsman says he was struck by the question “Is this the best we could do?”Huntsman, the former Utah governor and once President Barack Obama’s Ambassador to China, expressed disappointment that the Republican Party disinvited him from a Florida fundraiser in March after he publicly called for a third party.“This is what they do in China on party matters if you talk off script,” he said.
No Jon, this is actually what they do in China if you talk off script…
Huntsman Ending Campaign to Endorse Romney
Republican candidate and former Governor of Utah, Jon Huntsman, will be ending his bid for the presidency.
Huntsman has announced that he will be endorsing Mitt Romney. While it’s always nice to pick up endorsements, adding Huntsman to his band of cheerleaders will do nothing for Romney’s stature in the conservative community. It was just a week ago that a poll had indicated that 51% of Huntsman supporters thought that Obama was doing a satisfactory job.
From the Daily Caller:
Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman has informed advisers that he will end his presidential campaign Monday and endorse former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, The New York Times reported.
ABC News reports that Huntsman will make his endorsement of Romney official in Myrtle Beach during an 11:00 a.m. press conference Monday.
Doug Powers explains why he had to drop out, and offers a little advice for Romney:
Things were looking beyond grim for Huntsman in South Carolina and Florida while Newt’s been closing the gap somewhat on Romney. So, if you’re Romney, why not promise Huntsman a China ambassadorship (yet again) or maybe a post as Harley Czar in order to get his five percent and stretch the margin a little?
