Conservative “pundits” are failures…they don’t care about the people but only about looking like winners. What’s up Huckabee?

Time to repeal 17th Amendment. Founders had it right-Senators chosen by state legislatures. Will work for their states and respect 10th amid

So typical of sore losers. If you can't prevail within the current rules, change the rules.

My favorite baseball team is lagging behind the rest of the league in home runs. When they're at bat I think the fences should be moved in 100 feet.

Would’a been nice to have more details about what these people actually said, as TPM usually does

DT and a lot of other conservatives may be surprised to learn that most people generally follow laws, so a lot fewer people may skip on paying the mandate penalty than they think, or may fulfull the mandate by purchasing insurance now that a major threat of removal is gone.

I wonder whether Mike Huckabee knows that his daughter Sarah Sanders has been getting free conservative advice on national TV from Tony Scarramucci on her wardrobe and make up and extra Access Hollywood-type attention from Preshitident Anusmouth-Putindickholster.

That is a classic GOP tactic.

And don’t you love Huckster still calling himself “Gov.?”

That title–-like all titles of elected office—remains with the officeholder.
They are not granted for life—just for the duration of service.

Caitlin, nice work, but mixing a picture of Huckabee Pere (AKA “the tub of lard”) and the verb ‘melting’ is not considered good style…

Tax reform just got a little bit tougher.

Typically, the GOP finds an excuse to limit democracy. FU, Huckster.

So tough, in fact, that it would take a miracle direct from Dog for it to happen.

A thing to behold.

I suspect that McCain expected this reaction and is out of fucks to give.

Wow. Huckabee wants state legislatures to select senators?!?

Yea, fuckabees, let’s return to those famous smoke filled, quiet rooms Mitt liked so much.

Hey, it’s just that DAMNED CONSTITUTION getting in the way of your “Dear Leaders whims” again.

Why not just get rid of Constitutional Democracy Mr. Huckabee? Then you can install a hereditary Monarchy and be done with it because, as we all know, Mad King Trump would NEVER turn on you for any reason. He doesn’t hold any grudges or anything…

It is fun that conservatives like Huk quote history as convenient. Ignoring that corruption by state legislatures were the reason the 17th Amendment was put in place initially.

The knuckleheads may have gone Keystone Kops on healthcare reform, but I don’t see them fumbling attempts at shoveling money to the rich and corporations. If they have to strip tax relief to everyone BUT the richest one percent to stay remotely within budget they’ll do it. Hell, they’ll devise some convoluted way to surreptitiously RAISE taxes on the proles if that’s what it takes to get it done.
