Huntsman: Time for GOP to rally around Trump

Jon Huntsman, the former Republican governor of Utah who served in the Obama administration, thinks the GOP should stop fighting Donald Trump.

“We've had enough intraparty fighting. Now's the time to stitch together a winning coalition,” Huntsman said, according to Politico.

“And it's been clear almost from the beginning that Donald Trump has the ability to assemble a nontraditional bloc of supporters,” he added.

“The ability to cut across traditional party boundaries — like '80, '92 and 2008 — will be key, and Trump is much better positioned to achieve that.”

So much for the supposed rational, reasonable wing of the party.
He's all in for Der Trumpenfuhrer and his Alex Joneser, tinfoil hat, KKK, birther legions.

1. Somewhere, in some smoke-filled room,

GOP bigwigs are looking for an "Arthur Bremer" (preferably Mexican or Muslim).

[uhnope]

17. conspiracy theorists imagining future evil assassination conspiracies

not the sign of a healthy mind

18. Are you just going to sit there calling names instead of making your point?

If you have one to make at all.

2. And I thought he was the sane one. I was wrong.

3. "Now's the time to stitch together a winning coalition."

Well if you have lost the Hispanic and Women's vote your winning coalition
will not win.

Fox, Rush, Beck, the GOP, and racist assholes who are mad that a black man is
POTUS made this monster and now it is gonna kill them. Oh well.

4. That proves he is not a moderate.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. I never bought the BS line that Huntsman was some different kind of Republican.

I've said it for years now. He has this phony facade of being a moderate, reasonable Republican. He'll spout lines about global warming and sound sane in a sea of insanity but it's all for show. He's a right-wing hack who's working on Mike Lee's campaign. He's a fraud.

His father, though, is the real deal. His father doesn't give af.

[blm]

6. Exactly…same with Kasich.

Moderates, my @ss.

7. Obviously looking for a position with Trump .

[Wellstone ruled]

8. The Guy tried playing Third Way

Politics and that didn't work hanging out with Joe Lieberman. Now he is showing his real Colors,a Libertarian which he was a a Governor.

[PatSeg]

9. I think he was the last

republican that I liked! This is so disappointing.

[ViseGrip]

10. Right now, Huntsman is with Lieberman on capitol hill lobbying to gut Soc.Sec.

11. A sane vp to go with the other

[houston16revival]

12. I can't believe this airhead candidate is gaining momentum

If he were female his speeches and featherweight policy positions

would be called "Ditz"

He brushes things off like a fly, not important enough for him to get into
the details

We Democrats have work to do

I urge all to GOTV get out the vote

Local Dem HQ in every county need legs and voices surely

[hibbing]

13. GOP Rally?

Who is providing the hoods and cross?


Peace

14. Perhaps he's wanting the VP...

it'll be him or someone like him; mild, quiet, someone to make Drumpf look a little more sane. Maybe Carson. I just can't see Christie. They're the same person for the most part. This just gets scarier and scarier.

15. I always thought "Huntsman" was the perfect last name for a GOP candidate.

[lakercub]

16. Or maybe it's time for anyone with sense to ditch the GOP

If anyone with sense still calls that party home. I'd have more hope if some of these "moderate" republicans would realize what we've known for years; their party is a sick, racist, sexist, poor-hating, bought-and-paid-for, warmongering cesspool. I thought Huntsman was one of the last sensible members of an increasingly pathetic party and that he might actually leave given how bad it is. Alas, I was wrong. He may be more sensible than most of the others but that's not exactly a high bar to clear.

19. Double down on the troubled clown

Yesssss. Stake everything on it, you hung-over drones.
