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 like Cruz but that’s funny.
“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....”

In that case, your thought processes are rather weak and you react on emotion instead of using reason and core beliefs. IMHO, of course.
Oh please, stop! Cruz was there for the same reason as that fat POS Hucksterbee: To use Kim Davis as a prop for his campaign.
If you don't see that you're blind and I can't help you.
Politicians USE PEOPLE FOR PROPS. That's what both Hucksterbee and Cruz did. It's disgusting. Anyone with real honor and conviction would've come to her aid PRIVATELY rather than make a public scene about it.

Nope...the Huckster comes nowhere near Reagan’s character. Huckabee...
Nowhere did I say Huck was another Reagan. It was a similar act though.
Wrong question. Why was he there in the first place?
Well, there’s four words I hpoed to never see in that particular sequence....
When the Huckster said he would do Kim’s prison time,
it was a Paul Wellstone Funeral moment.
To show support for a person for whom he had already spoken up?
Or do you simply wish for republicans to commit seppuku on live TV to show support for causes they believe in?
I didn’t see Cruz doing anything wrong.
Judas used to be an Apostle!
Both men are bravely standing for their personal beliefs.
The crowd on this thread has lost their common sense and all knowledge of the force of political correctness.
Grow up and shut up.
You know you're addressing the wrong person with that statement don't you? Seriously?
I wondered where Cruz was when I saw the news spot. Also wondered who it was in the overalls. I guess I should have turned the volume on, maybe it was explained.
Ted Cruz is real—Huckabee is a fake at least that’s how their Christianity seems to measure up.
I really didn’t know. I won’t be visiting that website anymore, it’s infested... with liberals.
I’m pointing out the absurdity of you demanding that politicians stay away from such hot-button issues.
Your comment is simply “Do you know who I am?”
No, and I don’t give a flip who you are.
Seriously? Really? You really don't see this as a political grandstanding to try and score political points? Wow. That's dense.
Both men are bravely standing for their personal beliefs.
Oh. My. Sides. Certainly that fat POS Hucksterbee was in it for the PR, of that there's no doubt and Cruz got pissed because someone pee'd in his wheaties and usurped his camera time.
The crowd on this thread has lost their common sense and all knowledge of the force of political correctness.
By your post, you certainly have!
Grow up and shut up.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... wow. That's all ya got? Seriously? You might want to stop posting and let the grown ups deal with things. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. "Grow up and shut up." You might want to take your own advice.
Huckabee thought he could make the whole thing all about himself and make it into a campaign commercial. I’m embarrassed by the man.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT! Wrong. I hate politicians using people and political grand-standing.
That's it, nothing more. Do you routinely take people's words out of context? I'd like to know so I don't waste my time responding to you.
Well, that makes two of us. Prepare to get attacked!
