Last week,
Mike Huckabee threatened that if the GOP began to support gay marriage, he and his fellow evangelicals were going to leave the party. Of course, there were plenty of Christians in 2008 who stated they could never vote for a Mormon candidate, but ended up voting for Romney and waving his banner when push came to shove - so I take his threats with a grain of salt.
Still, I actually think it would be good for the GOP to go ahead and cut the religious zealots like Huckabee loose. Yes, at one time they were the GOP bread and butter... but now they are just an anchor. Humanity has moved on, while the Huckabees of America long for medievalism.
I couldn't think of a better send off than Grumpy Cat, so I created this meme for Mike.
If Huckabee gets mad enough, maybe he'll try another Presidential run as an independent, steal a few precious votes from the GOP and enable another Democratic victory.
