#1 Evangelical Christians are "more supportive of Israel than the American Jewish community."

Anybody doesn't know that?

#3 A man who writes about a faithful old friend long past, how bad could that man be ?

#4 I could see Huckabee as AMBO. He's been there many times. It's a twofer; Trump would satisfy a large part of his base (Evangelicals) as well as select a friend to Israel.

#5 Ole Huck is an affable enough chap but has proven himself to be a chutesmoocher extrordinare. Here's hoping Trump breaks with historical practice and appoints ambassadors on merit rather than those whose qualities excel in fundraising or penchant for sucking up.

#7 Depotguy: What fundraisers? Remember, almost if not all of those type of "Grifters" were Hillary supporters. Most of the money came from small-amount donations for his campaign I'm sure.

That leaves him rather open to the usual fundraiser-driven appointments.

#8 I don't know much about Huck's politics, but that tribute to Ole Jet has me on Team Huckabee. Damn I miss my dog.
