It is one thing to hire Huntsman as an ambassador to speak to the Chinese, that job, he is good at. It is another to support his position on medicare (which is to kill it) or Iran (which is to go to war.) If you want a drain unclogged, you call a plumber, you would NOT have that same person do a root canal on you instead of a dentist.
