Jon Huntsman says Romney should not have politicized the benghazi incident and should allow for a complete investigation. Keep in mind that Huntsman served as ambassador under four different presidents. He also said that Romney should stop supporting Mourdock and pull ads.

Republicans chose the wrong candidate.

Huntsman makes too much sense to have been the Republican candidate for President.

Jon Huntsman probably would have beaten Barack Obama in a general election, but he wasn't insane enough or rich enough to get through the absurd Republican primaries.

I disagree strongly with many of Huntsman's policy ideas, but he's pragmatic, diplomatic (would have been excellent on foreign relations), and extremely intelligent (believes in science despite being a religious man). I even think he could have reigned in the zealots on the far right in Congress and gotten Republicans to agree to work with their Democratic colleagues. I actually hope he runs again in 2016 instead of nutjobs and blowhards (Chris Christie, his effusiveness over President Obama's leadership notwithstanding, is a bag of hot air).

Republicans absolutely picked the wrong candidate if they wanted to beat the president.

Huntsman endorced Romney's candidacy when he dropped out of the 2012 Republican race. The former Utah governor said despite his criticism, he stands by his endorsement and believes that Romney is the right man to steer the economy back in the right direction.

Oh, the many, many lies and failed promises of Obama do not count. He is above all accusations.
Seriously, 90% of the accusations leveled at Romney by the opposition can more easily be targeted at Obama, but they refuse to see it. Oh well. If it weren't serious business, it would be downright comical to watch.
You know how they say that when someone gets the angriest or most accusatory at another person, it is usually the one thing they themselves struggle with the most. That pretty much sums up the left-wing right now.
Also explains the constant Fox News bashing.

Yes, only Faux News would defend lies since they say that they don't have to tell the truth.
