Huntsman: Let’s face it, Herr Doktor Nutcase Can’t Win

by Stephan Tawney on December 29, 2011

Jon Huntsman has been wrong about quite a few things. In this case he’s very, very right. A Ron Paul nomination would mean an Obama re-election landslide.

“He is not electable at the end of the day. Let’s be real about it,” Huntsman told more than 150 voters at a town hall meeting in southern New Hampshire. “I’m not an isolationist. I don’t share the Ron Paul world view. I am a realist.”

Paul’s biggest problem isn’t even the isolationism. Voters could kinda-sorta live with that.

His biggest problem is his extensive, modern history of racism, antisemitism, conspiracy theories, and associations with nutjobs like Alex Jones.

The racist, antisemitic guy from the south isn’t going to win an election against the first black president, regardless of the shape of the economy. Nor should he be elected under any circumstances.

Anyone so prone to believe Alex Jones’ latest theory about Jews and false-flag operations shouldn’t be allowed near the White House, much less be allowed to occupy the Oval Office for four years.
