Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson is running for president in 2024, he said Sunday.
“I am going to be running. And the reason, as I’ve traveled the country for six months, I hear people talk about the leadership of our country, and I’m convinced that people want leaders that appeal to the best of America, and not simply appeal to our worst instincts,” Hutchinson said during an interview with Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week.” “I believe I can be that kind of leader for the people of America.” Hutchinson will make a formal announcement later this month in Bentonville, Arkansas, he said.
Hutchinson is entering the GOP primary at a tumultuous,

I have lived with this toad in Arkansas for too many years. Classic example of someone who bails from a faltering legal career into the lucre of politics. Keep your hands in your pockets around this one.

The late Great Rush Limbaugh told us that "Money is the mother's milk of politics".
Asa won't get any money from ANYONE. Dead in the water.
Notice how fast the money stopped coming in from the Arab countries when Hitlery LOST?
Money buys INFLUENCE and the Bide crime syndicate has SOLD U.S. OUT.
The Chi-Coms have never had MORE influence than right now... BJ Clinton was a 10-pound weakling compared to the Vegetable using his VP office perks when in office and out of office until the scandal of 2020

When Hutchinson said he thought Trump should withdraw from the race, I thought he would announce his run, and here we are. So predictable. Congrats, Hutch! You are the first politician to go there showing what a cheap opportunist you are. I wouldn't trust a thing Hutchinson would say after this. No way I would support him.

Of course Hutchinson’s entree into 2024 is a joke. He could be the first to withdraw after the primaries begin. What’s shocking is his call for Trump to withdraw, due to a New York fascist indicting him. Does dim bulb Ada want to live in a country where Democrats take out their opponents by indicting them for made up charges? Hutchinson is contemptible.

Jeb was a loser similar to Assa, and he managed to pilfer $150 mil from donors, mainly because he was loved by the Media and leftists. Assa will be loved like wise as long as he keeps trying to trash Trump. The donors will pile up the money, Assa won't go anyway, maybe make a couple debates and drop out before or right after Iowa. If your on the trail with him, be sure to count your fingers after shaking hands.

I don't think that anyone should be able to self select to run for POTUS. I think that there should be both Republican and Dimocraptic committees to test and see if all candidates are capable, intelligent and rational enough to be POTUS. There must be 50 or 100 people capable, intelligent and knowledgeable enough to be capable or suitable enough to run for POTUS during every election cycle.
And then have foolproof and fraud proof voting processes. We're currently like a third world banana republic now. I'm old and The USA is in the worst and most embarrassing shape that I've ever seen it.
I'm embarrassed, ashamed and frightened for our country right now.

Who is Asa Hutchinson and why would I want him to be my prez? How has he distinguished himself as governor? It couldn’t be much because I only read his name and nothing more. He apparently hadn’t made waves like Trump did.

The “news media” doesn’t care what he has to say about himself. They are only interested in anything negative he may say about PDT. He will serve his purpose of conducting these types of interviews where he can badmouth PDT, then be gone.

Personally I find Trump needlessly rude, offensive and vulgar. If he'd just tone down a notch or 2 he'd soar. However politically I'm with him 100%. If he's the nominee my vote's his. Now on to Asa.
Under this every time a promising conservative emerges all that's needed is some Soros DA to convene a kangaroo grand jury and issue a bogus indictment. Precedent's been set

Asa, Pence and Romney aka Mittens should form a presidential coalition. They all stink like a week old mackerel.
How to tell a smelly week old mackerel? You Inspect the stinky fish. You tell by the feel for a slimy coating and later it eventually develops a thin layer of slime. These are our politicians!
