Jon Huntsman on Meet The Press in November, explaining why Romney can NOT beat Obama - video


Even though this video is from November, I thought I'd go ahead and post it anyway, in my opinion it's relevant since Jon Huntsman is going to endorse Mitt Romney Monday morning at 11am.

2. And a tidbit from ABC

From: @EmilyABC Emily Friedman

In the past week Huntsman has told @ABC that he doesn't see a "reason to trust" Romney and that Romney is "completely out of touch"

A Mormon who the big money backers aren't supporting? And he's been to China? (May be a communist) Plus listening to him talk is like watching paint dry.

So to sum it up, at the time of this interview the Republicans' choices were:
A Mormon
A broke Mormon
A serial adulterer
A black serial adulterer
Stupid
Bat shit crazy
Ron Paul


Wow.

Can't understand how he didn't get a big youth turnout. All the college kids I know are talking about him.

But the rethugs agree with you, apparently.

How could he possibly have introduced Sarah Palin at the last Republican National Convention.

He probably wanted to be the vice-presidential candidate. But the closest they let him get to that spot was to introduce the real candidate.

Why Huntsman ever left the Obama administration is beyond me. That's the best he's going to have it for a long, long time.

He just is not presidential material. Far too private in his demeanor. Far too elegant in his manners. He's upper crust and uncomfortable with being anything else. The Chinese Communists love him no doubt.

left cover for the systemic controllers' wars of empire and police state build-out. Plus, the next 5 years are gonna be hellish economically, so they figure 2016 will be a cakewalk for BushCo to come in and deliver the coup d' grace.
