Poor Arkansas Can't Catch a Break

Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced yesterday that she is leaving her post as Presidential Press Secretary, a job she had already largely abandoned, and will return home to her native state of Arkansas at the end of the month.  Sanders, the married mother of three young children, said that she wants to gt back into mothering.

Donald Trump suggested that Sanders may also be considering a run for governor of Arkansas in 2022 when the current governor, a Republican named Asa Hutchinson, will be termed out, and Sanders fanned that speculation by saying that she would not rule anything out.

Lucky Arkansas!

Sarah Sanders, the daughter of former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, grew up in the Arkansas governor's mansion, an official residence that was a double-wide trailer during part of the Huckabee administration when the actual "mansion" was being remodeled and refurbished.

The current governor has yet to express himself on Donald Trump's sudden foray into Arkansas politics, but it should be noted that Hutchinson has several Hutchinson relatives and Hendren in-laws who are currently involved in Arkansas politics and patiently waiting their turns to be governor.  Trump's interference in the natural order of things in the "Natural State" is likely unappreciated.

Ms. Huckabee Sanders, who as presidential press secretary has not held a formal press briefing - other than interviews with Fox News - since early March, would do well to think long and hard about running for governor of Arkansas - or taking any job where she might actually have to show up for work on a regular schedule.  Working for a living will not be nearly as much fun as being a shill for Trump.

Thanks for the entertainment, Sarah.  Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
