Santorum or Huckabee? Who's better for the GOP in 2016?

[Grover]

Which potential presidential candidate would be better for the GOP if nominated in 2016 for president? Former Pennsylvania Sen. and 2012 presidential candidate Rick Santorum or Former Arkansas Gov. and 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee?

I shake in my boots at the thought of what it would be like if we were faced with an international crisis with Mike Huckabee as prez.

He'd prolly think he could resolve it with a coupla smart-ass quips.

 

[TheOldSchool]

They should run on the same ticket. USMB republicans CALL YOUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES!!! MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!

 

[Jackson]

I like both.

 

[TheOldSchool]

I like both.

Call your local rep ASAP!

 

[shart_attack]

I like both.

You wouldn't say that if you'd ever lived in Arkansas under Huckabee.

He is not particularly popular there.

Ok, Clinton vs. Huckabee: Clinton +14
Clinton vs. Santorum: Clinton +21

Take your pick. The result would be the same.

Or, the GOP could exhume the bones of Barry Goldwater for the 2016 cycle...

... or pay someone to arrange an "accident" for Gyorgi Soros — and/ or anyone else who isn't an American, yet for some reason continues to meddle in our business.

Either, or both, would be a disaster for America.

I prefer smith and jones.

 

[Wacky Quacky]

I will fight Huckabee with everything I have. Anyone who thinks we need to amend the Constitution to be more in line with God's standards, needs to stay the hell away from the White House.

 

[shart_attack]

Oh, my, those bloodthirsty Righties...

Oh, my, those meddling foreigners.

President Andrew Jackson had a solution for them.

It's a mortal sin to be whackin it, wacky.

 

[SmarterThanTheAverageBear]

Neither. The Republicans better find a candidate who is more moderate on social issues and it better happen most ricky tick.

Santorum is the only person who has charisma and intellect. He speaks well, understands military intelligence but damn, President Obama has removed the US Military's testicles in the last 6 years.

The moves President Obama's made over these six years include his removal of the top Military and second level staff. I never thought he would do the Military. I expected him to give Congress a going over and they've returned the favor. Truly he is in control of the military and likely followed Truman from behind in order to get ahead. It's going to take a Republican president a long time to sort out the mess.

His foreign policy is radical. That was what he wanted to do. Health care was for the Clinton's and a socialist structural support. But his main agenda was to pull the US back from the world stage.

He most certainly has done that.

Russia and China have moved ahead.

The Middle East? That's a whole 'nother mess.

And if Hillary or another Democrat gets in, then that's a whole 'nother mess too.

Huckabee is quite intelligent, but unelectable because of his religious views

 

[TheOldSchool]

I would love it if Santorum ran. It'd be nice to get a new set of Santorum memes.

The only people who think he's very intelligent are people who've never lived under him in Arkansas.
