Jon Huntsman has defied the Republican party's conventional stupidities on things of such critical importance of rejection of evolution in our politics, and global warming being a hoax. Now Huntsman has violated the 11th commandant and condemned the recklessly radical views of his fellow Republican candidates as having "Zero Substance".
10:30. Huntsman Slams GOP Field as Having 'Zero Substance'
“I wouldn't necessarily trust any of my opponents right now, who were on a recent debate stage with me, when every single one of them would have allowed this country to default,” Huntsman told ABC's Jake Tapper. “You can imagine, even given the uncertainty of the marketplace the last several days and even the last couple of weeks, if we had defaulted the first time in the history of the greatest country that ever was -- being 25 percent of the world's GDP and having the largest financial services sector in this world by a long shot -- if we had defaulted, Jake, this marketplace would be in absolute turmoil.”
Huntsman said that his opponents represented what is wrong with the current political landscape.
“Right now this country is crying out for a sensible middle ground,” he said. "Right now we have people on the fringes.... We have zero substance.”
I would have to agree with Huntsman about the reality impaired Republican field of Presidential Candidates. This approach is refreshing but how far can telling the truths that Republican primary voters are unused to hearing from their candidates, take Huntsman in today's G.O.P. where the base's media diet consists of Fox News propaganda and Hate Talk Radio? Not far is my guess and polls seem to confirm it with Huntsman bumping along near the bottom of the field.
