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....

I liked what he did to Mitt Romney because I remember what Mitt Romney did to Sarah Palin.
Cruz should have stayed away from this circus, but just being there was good to keep in the good graces.
You could tell that huckleberry was about to blow a vein trying to stay on camera with the lady.
Huckabee has, let’s say, an unfavorable history with Cruz and has opposed his work more times then most realize. I was surprised...but then I don’t fancy Huckabee at all either...never have.
Did you not see how huckster was acting about getting on camera?
Under the word “Pharisee” in the dictionary is Huck’s picture.
Hey, I prescribe to the notion of when someone is committing harey-carey, don’t get in their way.
Your friend is acting desperate, as he should be.

(It's a good thing the lady didn't say too much- Puckabee would have shoved her off the stage. )
It's fine that Cruz left- It was totally obvious what Puck was up to. The whole thing with him looked fake.
All anyone has to do is listen to Huck and Cruz- It is totally obvious which one of them is sincere, and which one isn't.
If a couple of FReepers bashing the huckleberry would cause you to dump Cruz, you can't change your mind, because you don't have a mind.
How does bashing the huckster harm "the issues we all care about" and what the hell are they anyway?
Doesn’t surprise me Huck has opposed Cruz, further more I don’t see him sticking around much after the second round of debates.
Money shot is a crude term from the porn industry.
The exchange was, indeed, caught on video. Rachel Maddow showed it on her show.

Thanks for letting me know this info.
But .. for what it’s worth, Ted Cruz was not SAD; he was actually fuming. He’s a real gentleman .. a rare breed. He understood the rally was really about Kim.
Certainly.
I thought it looked familiar!
I am sure you are correct. I just hadn't heard or read it.
Thank you.
You are welcome, but I'm not up to speed on everything myself.
Another poster had said that Huckabee also announced he would visit Davis prior to the actual visit.
I just had not read that anywhere.
