Mike Huckabee presidential campaign has a job and that is to

find out just how far right the GOP can safely go. Also to be a live marketing group to find out the best issues to gen up funds and voter turnout.

He will be well paid down the road. I just wonder who he is working for?

No 'baggers, hard-core Bible-thumpers or Libertarians need apply.

TPTB want someone who knows where his bread is buttered.

Some of the .01%ers want a theocracy. The Koch brothers are among them.
They want a theocracy because a theocracy is completely immune to popular uprising,
no matter how repressive it becomes.

It is argued that the .01%ers would not want to live under a theocracy.
They would not. They would live above it, like the sheikhs of Saudi Arabia.
