It’s a free country, she can run for whatever office she wants to. I am in Wisconsin, I am glad she is not running for Gov of WI.

She'll probably win in a landslide.

Trump won the state 62/35 in 2020, so if she's the GOP nominee, almost certainly she will.

I wouldn't be surprised. Who knows, perhaps she will govern well.

Quite likely, she's one of the sharper knives in the drawer. Where does she stand on the stolen election?

She'll have her work cut out for her:

Arkansas poverty level ranking - 47
Arkansas average household income - 47
Arkansas per capita GDP - 48
Arkansas homicide rate - 42
Arkansas overall crime - 47
Arkansas high school education - 44
Arkansas college bachelor's degree - 47
Arkansas advanced college degree - 50

That's the question though. Will she be the nominee?

How strong is Trumps base in Arkansas? As far as I know she's one of the few people the president never threw under the bus.

I have no idea - probably a proponent.

Sigh. She apparently is hard into divisive politics and demonizing the opposition. She seems to be running on "The Left is Evil!

" platform.

What work do you think she is likely to be doing. A state's government activity actually has very little impact on most of the things you listed.

It certainly has to do with education.

It shouldn't but it does. What do you think a governor can do to improve student performance?

Why shouldn't it? Education is a state government responsibility, involving the training and certification of teachers, for example, the administration of a post-secondary education system, etc.

IMO that should all be done on the local level or in the private sector. It is not something that should be done by the state and should be off limits to the federal government. Let me ask again, what do you think a govern or can do to improve student performance?

You don’t think that a state should be concerned that its students have access to good schools across that state?
Huh.

You're shoulding all over the floor here. These things listed are things that a modern US state government is deeply involved in and unless Huckabee Sanders is looking to take office and roll the government back to the nineteenth century they are things that she is going to have to contend with in order to govern the state of Arkansas successfully.

I don't think the state government should be involved in education other than sending money to localities. For me it is a matter of trying to improve the quality of education . Improving quality being the opposite of what large bureaucracies are known for.

I hope there's no debates; because she didn't seem to like answering questions .

I would like governors to get their heads out of the mid 20th century and help bring education into the 21st century. Huge bureaucracies doing their top down thing have proven to be not just incompetent but a roadblock to providing a reasonably decent education.

Ah, so the standard GOP platform from the past several years.
