Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee announced Monday via Twitter he was dropping out of the 2016 GOP race, following a disappointing showing in the Iowa caucus.

The candidate won the Iowa caucus in 2008. He said back in December he would likely withdraw from the race if he did not finish in the top 3 in Iowa.

  1. Milked the teat as far as it went. Now he can sit at home, “write” books, make 5-figure speaking fees, pontificate on Faux. It’s a good life.

  2. Now off to do book signings at Chick-Fil-A’s and Hobby Lobbys near you.

  3. Huckabee: Sad to see Iowa prefers a Canadian racist to an American Southern Racist. I am even behind a Yankee racist.

  4. Is ot too much to ask for him to just give up the notion that he will eventually be crowned King or whatever the h&ll he thought he’s been doing??

    If, after three times, it hasn’t worked, maybe it is time to try something else, lest you become this generation’s Wendell Willkie.
