Trump Campaign Rejects Mike Huckabee's Advice About Hunter Biden
townhall ^ | 10/21/2020 | Cortney O'Brien

Posted on 10/21/2020 8:44:13 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On "Fox & Friends" Wednesday morning, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee gave President Trump some advice he will likely decline. He wants the president to stop talking about how Democratic nominee Joe Biden's son Hunter sat on the board of a corrupt Ukrainian gas company while he was vice president and overseeing U.S. relations with Ukraine.

"It is a mistake" to keep bringing up the Hunter Biden scandal, Huckabee explained, "Because most people don't understand it, it's too complicated. And frankly, it doesn't matter to them."

Trump has to make this about Joe Biden, not Hunter Biden. At some point, Hunter becomes a sympathetic figure. Every family has some black sheep addict.

Do they sit on corporate boards all over the world and have net worths in the hundreds of millions?

Maybe I ought to give crack a try.

No, as opposed to the convoluted business of finding the bad actors in the Trump-Russia hoax, the Hunter Biden scandal is easy for everyone to understand.

Hunter got huge amounts of money for jobs for which he had no qualifications, except that his daddy was the V.P. Joe denied he ever talked to Hunter about his job with Burisma. There is now evidence that Joe was lying. And it’s no surprise. Everyone can understand what’s going on here.

The Huckster either has no idea what is going on or he knows about the 3-5 GOP-e Senators who are also involved in Ukraine.
Very possible both are correct.

“Trump has to make this about Joe Biden, not Hunter Biden. At some point, Hunter becomes a sympathetic figure. Every family has some black sheep addict. Trump needs to paint Joe as the Godfather of the Biden Crime Family.”

Exactly!

This is the easiest scandal of all time to understand. Biden has been selling access to America’s enemies.

Why does the headline state that Trump ignores Huckabee as a fact when the article just speculates about it?

Who should we trust? A guy whose political instincts got him to the presidency. Or Mike Huckabee?

Yeah, Mike. It is too complicated for the average person to comprehend.

I think people are looking at this all wrong.

This stuff about Hunter is not going to get ANYONE to vote for Trump. There are NO undecided voters out there.

This whole thing is meant to demoralize the marginal Biden voter—the AOC/Bernie folks. They never liked Biden, but they will not be able to make themselves pull the lever. They will stay home.

Don’t get me wrong—they HATE Trump. They would never vote for Trump. But they know that in four years the Squad will be running the show and they stand a better chance to get nominated and run if the old school Dems are corrupted.

And do not forget: The other names in this scandal are Heinz, Kerry, Pelosi, and Mitten’s Staffer. This could impact more than the Bidens.

Thinking Biden is going to be hauled away in chains, or that Trump will win by an increase in support is, I think, over the moon thinking. Get the Dems to put their heads down and walk away is the BEST we can hope for.

Maybe not. But at the end of the day, Trump should go with his own instincts - those instincts got him the presidency, not advice from mainstream Republicans.

I suspect it is more than 3-5 GOP Senators.

Even if this small part of the scandal is too complex for SOME people to understand, it still keeps Biden on the defensive. There are DA’s who most certainly do understand it.

But Huckabee is right to the extent that he wants Trump to focus on the uncovered offenses that are easiest to understand.

Now we know Joe lied about talking to his son about business dealings- now they need to ask him what was the extent of his involvement in Hunters overseas business dealings as they directly coincide with Joes Diplomatic activity in those nations.

He usually has some good advice, but not here.

I saw the segment where Huckabee made this statement and thought, Whaaaat??
He does often seem right on, but apparently all the so-called experts, Rove, Theisen, and others are singing the same refrain, you must not mention the level of corruption of the Biden crime family.
I'll go with Trump's instincts, they are seldom wrong.

“ At some point, Hunter becomes a sympathetic figure”

I see this posted by FReepers every so often the last few days. This is a ludicrous assertion.

Hunter Biden is a 50 year old multi-millionaire crackhead child porn aficionado and pedophile who has never had a real job his entire drug-addled, corrupt-moneyed life. Sympathetic figure? Yeah sure. The heir to all of Joe’s foreign sell-out riches, and the capo who made it rain is a sympathetic figure? Yeah, and Gambino, Whitey Bulger and DuPont were sympathetic figures too.

Which Hunter scandal?

Scandal 1 - Drugs: Maybe it’s better to avoid that. PDJT could BRIEFLY say that he sympathizes with anyone who battles drug issues within a family. So many families can relate, and it’ll make him be sympathetic.

Scandal 2 - Financial Corruption: HIT HIM HARD!! As hard as possible! Hunter was a tool used by Joe, probably even threatened. That one email to his daughter almost made me feel sorry for the dipstick.
