Mike Huckabee Never Stopped Running

Michael Scherer: “After losing in his bid for the Republican nomination in 2008, Huckabee created a show on Fox News that gave him a Saturday-­night audience of 1.3 million likely Republican-­primary voters, wrote four books, carefully grew his base of Facebook and email followers and launched a talk-radio commentary career, all while continuing to travel the country to support Republican candidates and meeting regularly with conservative pastors in off-the-record settings…. This time, Huckabee says he needs $50 million by the Iowa caucuses in February 2016 to mount a serious campaign. It’s an ambitious target for him, but his staff believes there are several deep-­pocketed donors who will step forward to fund a super PAC with unlimited donations for campaign ads if he runs.”
