Mike Huckabee Dismisses Taylor Swift's Political Endorsement Because '13-Year-Old Girls' Can't Vote

[workinclasszero]

Swifties roasted the former Arkansas governor for shrugging off the singer’s support for Phil Bredesen in the U.S. Senate race in Tennessee.

Taylor Swift fans put Mike Huckabee in his place after he implied the pop star’s support for a Democrat in Tennessee’s senate race is meaningless because her fans aren’t old enough to vote.

Swifties also pointed out that their leader has more social media followers than President Donald Trump. (The president’s two Twitter accounts, @realDonaldTrump and @POTUS, have 79.2 million followers combined. Swift has 83.5 million.)

5. Taylor Swift inspired 65,000 people to register to vote, says Vote.org

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2018/10/09/taylor-swift-inspired-65-000-people-register-vote-says-vote-org-tennessee-phil-bredesen-trump/1574916002/

" "Thank God for Taylor Swift," Kamari Guthrie, director of communications for the voting nonprofit, told Buzzfeed News, stating that more than 65,000 people registered to vote in the 24-hour period following Swift's post.

According to Guthrie, Vote.org had its second-busiest day of the year after Swift's post with 155,940 unique visitors to its website, making it the site's biggest day since National Voter Registration Day on Sept. 25, when the site saw 304,942 unique visitors, up from a daily average of 14,078 visitors.

It seems Swift's post has specifically inspired new voters in her home state of Tennessee. Of the 5,183 new registrations in Tennessee so far this month, at least 2,144 came in the last 36 hours, an increase from the 2,811 voters who registered in September and 951 in August."

24. And, that was just immediately after her tweet.

I'm betting we'll find out that there are going to be a whole lot more where that came from in the coming days. Hopefully, they'll all actually get out and vote now.

25. Judgement day for Huckabee's $3 million beach house in FL is tomorrow.

Huckabee pulled political strings to get beach home permitted

"Mike Huckabee's $3 million beachfront home is a marquee illustration in a Reuters investigation of "the crisis of rising sea levels," including beachfront erosion and the peril and cost of building there. The article says political strings were pulled so he and his Texarkana pal and former legislator David Haak could get permits to build neighboring homes on an eroding beach in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., despite original objections from regulators."

10. First you tell them "You're old enough to get shot but not old enough to have an opinion on getting

shot"

Now this.

13 years are formative years Mikey, not sure you want to mess with their minds at this age.

12. Mike Hukabee: making girls uncomfortable since 1955.

[obamanut2012]

13. I was at her concert a few weeks ago -- not many girls there

Most of us were 20s-60s, with the majority women in their 20s and 30s. I am older than that, the woman sitting next to me with her adult granddaughter was 67 and loves Swifty.

She was 15 when she started, and is almost 30 now.

[BeckyDem]

15. Love that reply!

[workinclasszero]

20. Me too!

Democratic women can/will save this country!

16. Huckabee getting his panties in a twist because she has much more influence over people than

he EVER will!!!

[TheBlackAdder]

17. To many faux Christians, the only thing 13yo girls are good for are for GOP pedophiles to use.

.

TS has been a pop star for many years and many of her fans are in their twenties now.

[zipplewrath]

18. She's got one twitter account

Trump has two. You know there is alot of overlap in "followers" on those two accounts. And she STILL has more followers than his combined. SAD! (for him)

[apnu]

19. Huckabee should read USA Today.

23. Hurricane Michael is heading directly at your....

your shack, built with, I suspect some payments made to the fine folks, who are supposed to enforce zoning laws...
Rather than whining about Taylor Swift, I'd be on the phone to Pat Robertson to get him to change the direction of Michael.

[Me.]

26. What Would He Know About Females

Look at the one he raised

[rurallib]

27. Talk about a guy who is old news

[Freethinker65]

28. But they are old enough to be sexually harassed by elite prep school boys

[workinclasszero]

29. Republican message to women...

[matt819]

30. I don't know the demographics of her following

But. . . 13-year-old girls become 18-year-old girls who vote. And not all 18-year-old girls turn out like Sanders' vile RW daughter. Many will become Democrats, maybe even liberals or, gasp!,m progressives. And they will vote for other young women running for office and almost certainly not for old white men, except in the fantasies of Sanders et al.

Why can't people like this - a has-been pol - just stfu?

[donkeypoofed]

31. Ya can't negate the 100 million followers, dumb-dumb

They ain't all 13. Thoughts and prayers that "your" stupid gets cured.
