Nothing is fair in love, sports or politics.
In all case it usually comes down to a game of ‘mistakes’ and I think Huck made one here.
It’s not like politicians aren’t on notice that clemency decisions can come back to haunt them. Willie Horton made that clear. The Huckster overrode the objections of career prosecutors to grant this idiot clemency so that he could look “big” and “forgiving” and “Christian.” Dumb call. The party’s better off without him seeking the nomination for many other bigger reasons; this is just ammunition to keep him out of the race.
