I noticed that Huckabee has already staked out Cruz as one of his targets .. I’ve seen several comments that lead me to believe your comment may be correct .. that Huckabee is possibly in this race just to be a spoiler to Cruz.
I’ve noticed that Huckabee has already condemned anyone who is not a “former Governor” (which is Cruz), as being a person who is unqualified to be President.
However, I don’t think Huckabee has any idea that trying to take down Cruz will be much, much harder than he thought.
Huckabee also endorsed David Dewhurst over Cruz in the Senate race Cruz won.
