the gop nominee this said "grab them by the prussy" and won could they be a way huntsman can win.No, huntsman is somebody who belongs in the 1960s-70s era GOP but literally had more support from liberals than republicans in 2012 primaries
That's because grab 'em by the pussy came out in oct 2016, long after the primaries were over, once you get to the GE as long as you have a R next to your name you are basically guaranteed 43%-45% of the votethe gop nominee this said "grab them by the prussy" and won could they be a way huntsman can win.
what if huntsman have someone like pence as a running mate?That's because grab 'em by the pussy came out in oct 2016, long after the primaries were over, once you get to the GE as long as you have a R next to your name you are basically guaranteed 43%-45% of the vote
Also Trump could literally shoot somebody and have a better chance to win than huntsman
that requires him to win the primaries (which he's not)what if huntsman have someone like pence as a running mate?
how would the map look like.that requires him to win the primaries (which he's not)
If you are talking about the GE yeah he has a good chance of winning because as long as he has a R next to his name he 45% of the votes and he's probably moderate enough to appeal to the center of the 2012 electorate
he's not a favorite by any means though, Obama is a really good campaigner and could probably ripe huntsman a new one during the election
traditional gop map if he wins (i'd put him at maybe 30-35%) + OH/FL/VA/COhow would the map look like.
If Romney stays out of the race and Huntsman becomes the establishment candidate, perhaps. Else, No.Could Huntsman win in 2012.
To be fair, though, it's kind of hard to get much oxygen and traction in a race where you're the other moderate Mormon.1) He's not winning the primaries
2) He could probably flip Ohio (no let Detroit go bankrupt) and Florida (super close) but then he'd still lose.
3) So Huntsman's failure to win the nomination wasn't just because of his moderate positions. He also had a very disorganized camapaign, no real message, was horrible at fundraising, and had no strategy other than New Hampshire, which he completely bungled on the messaging side of things in the state. Now, if you look at his Utah reelect numbers, he got something like 80%, but he kind of came off like someone not ready to hit major league heat when he ran nationally.
To be fair, though, it's kind of hard to get much oxygen and traction in a race where you're the other moderate Mormon.
If Romney wins the '08 nomination (far from impossible), that'll heavily reshape the 2012 field. Perhaps Huntsman, seeing an opening, declines Obama's offer to be ambassador to China and runs in 2012 with more establishment support and without the "taint" of having served in Obama's administration.
I still think he's likely too temperamentally unsuited and too moderate to win the nomination. But he'd certainly have a better chance without Romney in the race. I could see him giving Obama a closer race, so him winning would not be impossible.
