Mike Huckabee: I don’t understand why evangelical leaders aren’t uniting behind me

Anyone want to help him solve this confounding mystery?

Incidentally, allow me to go on record now as predicting that Huckabee will endorse Marco Rubio once he drops out.

“For reasons I don’t fully understand, years and years of actually doing something and getting things done didn’t matter,” Huckabee said of the group’s deliberations. ”And I don’t understand that.”…

Huckabee, according to sources, has often reminded [Tony] Perkins and his fellow influencers that a major reason he gave up his Fox News show and launched a 2016 campaign was because he expected to have their backing. Their decision to instead support Cruz, then, seemed to sting Huckabee personally as much as politically.

“You know, everybody has a right to do what they want to do. But it was disappointing to me. These are guys I’ve worked with for years and years. Many of them I’ve helped with their projects and their various endeavors,” Huckabee says, shaking his head. A moment later, he adds, “But you know, that’s life.”(continued)

It’s because you suck, Mike.

I mean, seriously, come on.

Go back to your TV show or whatever it is that you do.

I can only think of three reasons Huckster.

The things you do.
The things you say.
The people who you associate with.

And that right there, is the Quote of the Day. Well done.

He has got to realize his time has come and gone. His pinnacle was governor in politics and in entertainment, his show on Fox. I hope he saved money from his show, he must prepare for retirement.

Huckabee is a good man and they all like him. It is the intense hatred non evangelicals have for him that gets in the way. In my view, it is completely unfair. But I can’t change it.

Also, while his plan to cure cancer and other diseases was a nice thought, we are going to have diseases with us until Christ returns. It is the way of things. We’ll cure one thing and gain another. Sure let’s try, but it isn’t really the role of the federal government is it?

I love Huckabee. I still say he is probably the most articulate candidate of all — with charm and likability and everything. He also importantly supports a convention of states. I would vote for him but I can’t get him there all by myself. Those who don’t want him used exaggeration and hyperbole to keep him down. His chance came and went. He was robbed in favor of the yucko John McCain.

I hope when he drops out he endorses Cruz.

As for his old employer, Fox News is dead to me.

Sort of like Kasich in an interview a couple of weeks ago.

Host/Mod asked him why he couldn’t get any traction in the polls.

Kasich responded that most people don’t know who he is.

LOL I couldn’t help but laugh. After being in 4 debates, if people don’t know who he is, he IS in bad shape.

Huck is old Hat—Cruz is cool and new. Besides what you did to Mitt in West Virginia still smacks of treachery no Christian should do. You had your day, now faid into obscurity—have your own cable show and play in your band as fewer and fewer people give a darn about what you think.

I see that “snake oil salesman” is one of the key words. That’s it in a nutshell. He only pretends to be an Evangelical. He’s a fraud.

Because you aren't a constitutional constructionist Mikey.

You may go now.
