This is a prime example as to why we have to get politicians and their operators OUT of politics.
Competitors complete. Get used to it.
How much longer will Huck try to dine out on his brief stint as a preacher? We evangelicals hear what he says, then we see how he behaves, and there’s a disconnect.
He and his single-digit cohorts need to drop out of the race so Trump and Cruz can TCB.
Ping!
Well Huck successfully teamed up with McCain in 2008 to ditch Mitt. Looks like he’s up to his old tricks in 2016.
Huckabee expected to receive much of the evangelical support that went to Cruz. No doubt that stung. It’s likely that expected support was part of the pitch to superPAC officials/donors — who’re probably now the ones making the decisions on whether/how much to try to trash Cruz.
All around it’s a problem. Huckabee may not be allowed to officially communicate with his superPACs, but whatever is left of his integrity depends greatly on how he proceeds from here. One evangelical trashing another never ends well.
Huckabee sounds like a GOPE operative whose mission is to take down Cruz.
If Huckabee does not fire anyone he employs who engages in this behavior, he is guilty as well. And if he does not denounce any PAC engaging in it, he is guilty.
Like many here on Free Republic, I once had high hopes for men like Huckabee, Carson, and Rubio. They just keep disappointing.
I have a feeling that Trump will eventually greatly disappoint us if he is president, yet at this point I am willing to support him because his positions are right. I have more confidence in Cruz overall though.
Over the years I’ve seen plenty of “Christian” folks who CRAVE power and will pull out the sharp knives to get what they want - be it a Sunday school teacher position or head usher position...
I can’t imagine it’s any different in the world of American politics.
Huckabee is a phony Christian, a pro-amnesty RINO, and a douchebag. This is NEWS?
Huckabee’s is a GOPe as far as I can tell. His job this time was to STOP CRUZ by locking down Evangelical support in Iowa.
He failed - perhaps in part because Trump sucked all the Oxygen out of room and most people didn’t even realize Huckabee was running.
Now he’s a cry baby.
This not being done to benefit Huckabee, Huckabee and his minions know he’s out of it, this is being done to damage Senator Cruz and benefit the gop-e. That’s why Huckabee is in the race, to divide the Conservative and Evangelical vote, not to win the nomination.
