    Its far from practical but hey at least he is trying unlike 99% of the other candidates.

    You gotta give him credit for actually trying. What do you guys think about it?

    Um, I never really got behind Huntsman, but the again I don't know much about him. He does seem to be putting effort forth. I like him better than some of the runners. Still, I think Cain is about to pull out, and Gingrich is doing good (I don't know how that happened). I don't know, he's better than Mitt, who I can't stand.

    Well you dont hear much about him because as soon as he supported global warming, the Republican Party through him under the bus. He went from a contender to a nobody instantly lol.

    Actually it's more due to the fact that Huntsman has been in New Hampshire the whole time, trying to swipe Romney's home state out from under him. If he can pull it off he's pretty much guaranteed the nomination.

    If he does then I would probably vote for him instead of Obama. (even though I cant vote.)

    What a stupid idea. American Manufactoring is dead, furthermore, why would stiffing the banks help? And why would that increase trust for that matter? If anything it would make people more pissed.

    He seems like a Lefist radical (by American standards) given undue credit.

    My dad used to know John Huntsman, before he became a politician and was the owner of some business.

    He used to own a multi-billion dollar chemical manufacturing company.
    American manufacturing is in no way dead, on a dollar to dollar comparison we produce nearly as much as China. Just because everything you see in Wal-mart is made in China doesn't mean everything in the United States is made in China.

    Ok then, American manufacturing is doing well, thriving even. Even if there were minor problems, why would we need to enact major reforms to "fix" what isn't really broken?

    Yeah that's it, he used to own the plant where I live, my dad works there, but when he applied for the job, Mr. John Huntsman was personally running the place for some reason, and he hired my father, and was his first boss there. The other day my father was watching the news and John Huntsman came on and my dad was all like Wha-?

    Well, yeah. I mean even if that was desirable, it's asking waaaaaaay too much of a presidential candidate.

    They can work towards making the US government too inoperable to use and cause it to collapse.
