if elected she will lay off all gov't employees AND lose billions of dollars

Kinda convinced Huckabee's only real asset has ever been his disarmingly folksy last name, without which he would really just be a fringier, base-baitinger Lamar Alexander.

I think Fiorina is probably too close in appeal to Jeb - the business-friendly, moderate end of the Republican party - to get much traction. I have a feeling, given the way the GOP apparatchiks have tightened up the primary calendar to prevent a repeat of the 2012 dog and pony show, once this thing gets going (many months from now) it's going to quickly boil down to a two-way race, so the scramble from now till then will be to see who can define themselves as the anti-Jeb.

She was a fucking horrible CEO and she hasn' a chance.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 01:31 (nine years ago) link
Well, I don't really know how good she was a CEO, but I kind of doubt most voters will either. She was a CEO of a big corporation, so assuming she didn't get fired amidst a sex scandal or something like that, she'll probably be able to run on her business experience. Still I agree she's a long shot.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 01:43 (nine years ago) link
Jeb will let the people know.
― nickn, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 01:44 (nine years ago) link
she laid off tens of thousands of people, tripled her own salary, and spent way too much money acquiring other, terrible companies. HP's stock dropped by 50%. Her own employees booed her at meetings. She was one of the worst tech CEOs of all time.

Running ads against fiorina's record is maybe the easiest thing to do in politics.
― Clay, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 01:49 (nine years ago) link
She doesn't have a prayer. Gunning for a cabinet post or vp or something.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 02:05 (nine years ago) link
It will be interesting to see if Jeb will run ads against Fiorina for laying people off and having too high a salary. Seems a bit off-message for a Republican candidate.

Populism works in a recession cycle, even if it's complete bullshit.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 02:16 (nine years ago) link
I doubt she will become enough of a threat that he'd have to consider that anyway. I mean she lost big in her previous California senate race, didn't she? That doesn't seem like the kind of political trajectory that leads to the White House.

Seriously. Working for HP sounds like something you'd only admit during times of extreme emotional distress, most likely while being tortured

Say "President Huckabee" out loud without laughing. You can't. Nobody else can either. He's not gonna get anywhere.

i've always bought huckabee as a candidate. idk if he can win the nomination but i think he has the right pieces in place (religious economic populism) to make a run for it. obv he can't beat hillary but who can?

Huckabee is slightly more credible as a candidate than Sally Langston, the fictional former vice president on Scandal

I would be glad to see him if I was at a Cracker Barrel and something was wrong w my order and he was a manager and came to the table and apologized and gave me a free slice of pie.

I can totally see Huckabee as a friendly and more than competent Cracker Barrel manager who fucks busboys in the meat locker.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 16:23 (nine years ago) link
for all-time:
Huckabee is the type of dude who would invite you to dinner, ask you all kinds of sincere, heartfelt questions about your family and your job, offhandedly mention the lethal dose of cyanide he put in your lemonade, and then offer you a nice slice of fresh-out-the-oven homemade pie.

the demand for billions of 'column inches' over the next 18 months (FOR FUCKS SAKE) means everyone is 'a serious contender'
except Sanders of course, that's been settled.
