Onto our next profile of GOP candidates for President, Jon Huntsman. Huntsman is probably the most interesting of all of them, because he is pretty normal seeming. Short bio from what I remember - 2 term governor of Utah (extremely popular). Rich. Mormon, but it's questionable if he's mormon-mormon or just "spiritual." Speaks fluent Mandarin. Two-time ambassador to China (Under George H.W. Bush and Obama). Dropped out of high school to join a rock band. Supported civil unions and cap and trade.
Full stop. That last sentence should make you sit back and think one thing: "this person will not be the nominee." The GOP hates cap and trade with a passion (even though it was originally their idea) and the base of the GOP still hates gays because they are "sinners," obviously. So he's going to lose. But he'd be a great president probably! Anyway, here's a cute little video that Huntsman didn't create about how much of a "progressive" he is.
