Huckabee argued that the anti-Trump Republican establishment needed to wise up to the fact that his likely nomination reflected the will of an angry electorate.

I just believe that at some point we need to recognize that if you want to oppose Donald Trump, do it, but dont pretend that somehow all these voters who have gone out and voted for him are stupid. Theyre not stupid. Ill tell you what they are theyre angry at the very establishment that is going nuts because Donald Trump is doing so well.
That establishment, he added emphatically, was the problem.
Huckabee brushed aside the notion that Trump was aligned with racist or white supremacist ideologies, dismissively repeating Trumps excuse that, when asked about his David Duke endorsement, his earpiece had malfunctioned.

God bless Huckabee. And to hell with anyone who would adopt Hillary’s talking points which effectively is saying the majority of the Republucan base that has had enough of illegal aliens, olen borders, and who wants the wall, are KKK racists. You insult the vast majority of the Republican base.
