Topic: Mike Huckabee's view on the Republican race
FOX News Sunday
ON FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace, Mike Huckabee was invited to talk about his views on the Republican race. He was a former presidential candidate so he knew what he was talking about regarding the race and the outcome and analysis. The Iowa caucus is only 9 days away and candidates are scrambling all over to make a good impression. Huckabee believes that either Ron Paul or Mitt Romney will win the Iowa caucus. Paul has a great number of supporters and they would do anything for him according to Huckabee. Romney seems like a good contender and Huckabee said “if the weather is good, then Romney will win”. Huckabee also believes that Santorum will be a “surprise candidate” in this race, even if he doesn’t win. Santorum has been getting endorsements lately evangelicals. It really depends if Iowa caucus goers care more about social issues than money and jobs and according to a poll that Chris Wallace brought up, social issues were at the bottom, but we don’t know for sure. Huckabee believes caucuses are so much more intense than primaries because a person has to really stand up for the candidate of their choice in front of everyone they know. It is not a private matter at all which is pretty stressful. People have to probably do their research and really listen to these candidates. Then Huckabee talks about the flow of the race and how is certain things happen in Iowa, how will they affect the race. For example, if Romney wins in Iowa and then in New Hampshire, and then in South Carolina where he got an endorsement from the governor, and then in Florida, then there is no stopping him at that point. Iowa means a lot to these candidates and that is why they are all freaking out at this point when there are only days left. Huckabee believes Ron Paul will not win this entire race because of his foreign policy and how it’s pretty out there. I mean, people really don’t want to go around saying that Iran is allowed to have a nuclear weapon which is what Paul is advocating. Although he might have a lot of great support, his supporters are radicals and fanatics like him and they do not represent the whole population. Huckabee sounds like a down to earth kind of person who thinks this Republican race is not about the issues but about tearing apart the other candidates which is very true. Every candidate does something to come at the other and it’s just ridiculous. With that being said, the Republican race is definitely not decided and we shall see which candidate cracks first.
