"Look, Ted's a great lawyer," Huckabee said Tuesday about Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. "But I don't think American needs a good lawyer right now, it needs a good leader. My question to you would be can you name me what efforts (Cruz) has been a leader in ... He's been a senator. He's been a lawyer and a lobbyist ... What has Ted Cruz done in his life that prepares him to be president of the United States?"
Huckabee's comments came during a 12-minute exchange with Joseph Brown, pastor of Marion Avenue Baptist Church in Washington, Iowa. Brown, who started a coalition of Iowa pastors who support Cruz, began the conversation with a question about why the candidate has said Cruz tailors his comments about same-sex marriage to the audiences he addresses.
"He's saying the same things you are saying," Brown said.

In that case Huck why are YOU running?
I am not a fan of Huckabee, but he is right here. These lawyer/politicians from both sides have gotten us in to this mess.
And he is looking to be a spoiler in Iowa by taking evangelical votes from Cruz.
I gotta somewhat agree with Huck on this.
We don;t need a cheap preacher like Huck either.
Cruz is over target and taking RINO flack...excellent!!!
Huckster coming down on Cruz while Haley does the same to Trump.
The country doesn’t need a smarmy snake oils salesman pretending to be an evangelist.
Go away Huckster.
No, don’t take the furniture with you, you leave that here.
I agree. Of all the lawyers running Ted is the best, but we need someone with economic/business common sense and experience. Trump has the field lapped in that respect.
So you'll be voting for Trump, right Huck?
LOL
Are there no depths to which you will not plunge in order to bash Cruz?
Huckabee is a cull, who cares what he thinks?
The country doesn’t need an Elmer Gantry-type snake oil salesman either, Huck.
No, we need a businessman with a leftist record who trashes his opponents worse than Bambi, whose only accomplishment in life is his own self promotion and making money by screwing others.

Cruz has said “he would leave marriage issues up to the states and therefore would not support a federal marriage amendment,” Huckabee said. “He knows, like good lawyers do, how to say things that sound almost the same as something else.”
Huckabee was only in the race to divide the real Conservatives and help pave the way for the GOPe candidate, that isn’t working out too good so he’s reduced to attacking Senator Cruz. Go home Huck.
The trouble is that the GOP does not have any leaders with a cause. Those running are more interested in what would benefit the GOP party - local party hacks. Clinton is not even a local party hack. Sanders is a leader out of step as is Trump. God Help Us.
Huck-a-Bee said that he would win Iowa.
I will not be responding to the content of any of your posts to me, either now or in the future. If you continue to post to me, some on Free Republic may conclude that you are a stalker.
“He’s been a senator. He’s been a lawyer and a lobbyist ... What has Ted Cruz done in his life that prepares him to be president of the United States?”
Ya got a point there Huck. Just come on out and endorse Trump. :-)
