Why is Mike Huckabee defending a big government con artist? -- Donald Trump sent a note congratulating Rep. Nancy Pelosi on her coup for Speaker in 2007 and donated to the senate campaigns of Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and Majority Leader Harry Reid in 2010. If all that weren't enough to make him persona non grata in the conservative movement, there's also this, from NRO: "Trump has a track record of using the government as a hired thug to take other people’s property." That's right, Trump is a big believer in eminent domain, defined as the right of the rich and politically connected to kick lower and middle class homeowners out on their asses, bulldoze their homes, and build whatever they like, so long as they pay higher taxes. In short: Trump is no more a conservative than Joseph Stalin, who also loved eminent domain. It was the Club for Growth that recently pointed out Trump's affinity for government-assisted theft. This earned them the ire--and Trump the support--of Mike Huckabee, who is so angry about having been called a "a tax-loving socialist" four years ago that he is apparently willing to bind his reputation to the Donald's.Which guy is bucking for the VP slot?

A plague on both their houses, with a plaque on each saying "Fools Live Here".
No question about Trump - liberal spoiler.
But the challenge to Huckabee is not valid. He is a conservative in both fiscal and social sense. Some conservatives - such as CfG - are fiscal only and they see the Governor's social conservativism as excess baggage. I say they are the inconsistent ones.
Hucakabee does have the disarming quality of being nice to his intellectual opposites while still maintining his own position. Some see this as compromise. I call it grace and charm.
Whoa. I've known you long enough on FB to be very surprised you post such poppycock. I'm going to assume it's because you really are that uninformed about the Governor.
He in no way said he's endorsing Trump or think he's a good candidate for us. Trump is the competition after all!. He said because of his own experience with certain groups, he knows he wouldn't trust what they had to say, they're not credible, and to find out more for yourself.
Huckabee is a dignified person who doesn't need to attack people to make himself look better and that's more Presidential than others certainly. He had the decency to avoid answering when asked if he'd run with Trump... He said "never say never" about Trump., so obviously his first thought was - never. lol
What point would that serve the party, for the candidates to go and attack each other... then we expect new people to support them? Ha! One of the rules for Reagan was the 11th commandment I'm sure you know it, but others should look it up for themselves if not. :)
