The first Republican primary is months away, but in the race to see which GOP candidate could make the most of the legal battle over a Kentucky clerk's refusal to grant same-sex marriage licenses, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee emerged a winner Tuesday, thanks to the efforts of an aide to block 2016 rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) from joining Huckabee at Davis' side.
Both presidential candidates were present at the rally at the jail holding Kim Davis, the Rowan County Clerk. But according to a New York Times report of the day's events, a Huckabee aide physically stood in Cruz's path to Davis' side as she and Huckabee appeared in front of the media after her release from jail:
When Senator Cruz exited the jail a throng of journalists beckoned him toward their microphones, but an aide to Mr. Huckabee blocked the path of Mr. Cruz, who appeared incredulous.
Moments later, Mr. Huckabee appeared, joined by Ms. Davis. He stuck close to her side as she approached the reporters, and again when she took the stage, and cast her fight as a choice of tyranny or religious freedom....

The Huckster volunteered for jail, so, jail him.
Its like when Reagan said, “No you don’t. I paid for this microphone.”
The Huckster is a grifter...nothing more.
First, I don’t believe it. Second, whining about it is just as harmful to both candidates and, more importantly, the ideas they represent. Whatever happened, so what! They are on the same side of this issue and we need both of them.
If Cruz supporters want to help Cruz, they should act as classy as he does.
Typical politicians using someone as a prop.
Huckabee has no class. IMO he is right down there with Jebito. Jerk.
Is this really credible?
One of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
Huck better tell his staffer, identified as Richard Cranium, to show some manners.
Every time I see you guys do this trashing of Huckabee I start to change my mind about voting for Cruz and start leaning toward Huckabee. You are accomplishing nothing. You are hurting your candidate. More important, you are harming the issues we all care about.
That's what politicians do, and it's sickening IMO.
Kim Davis has more spine than all the stupid politicians combined.
Hucksterbee is a worthless POC, and so is Cruz for trying to turn this into publicity for himself. Disgusting.
And he used to be a minister too.....
Its like when Reagan said, “No you don’t. I paid for this microphone.”

Nope...the Huckster comes nowhere near Reagan’s character. Huckabee was much more akin to Chuck Schumer (you know, the most dangerous place in America is between Schumer and a microphone or photo op).
“Hucksterbee is a worthless POC, and so is Cruz for trying to turn this into publicity for himself. Disgusting.”
Huck demonstrated his cynical reason for being there (or a good percentage of his reason).
What did Ted Cruz do to cause you to draw that conclusion?
Here’s a secret: I don’t care who you vote for.
Did you see video, did you hear Cruz whine?
We can say whatever we want about it, it won’t make national media. Hoping someone comes up with video.
Huck is a huckster/grifter/liberal republican in name only.
Going chasing video now.
Chris Geidner is a douchebag.
Is Cruz a wimp?
If Cruz didn’t push his way to the microphones, how was he trying to make this about him?
