I think he might be the biggest joke in this year's election.
He's so....old fashioned? I don't have the right word. Setting aside the fact that he's a bigoted turd, there's something very not twenty-first century about him.
I feel like he time traveled from his job inventing MPAA-type rating system for talkies into 2015 politics.

I'm so glad that the author of "God, Guns, Grit, and Gravy" has now blessed this race with his years of knowledge, including his time on Fox News, and his great quotes of wisdom like...
“Young girls want to be like [Beyoncé],” Huckabee said on The Daily Show. “Do you know any parent who has a daughter who says, ‘Honey, if you make really good grades, someday, when you’re 12 or 13, we’ll get you your own stripper pole.’ I mean, come on, Jon, we don’t do that in our culture.”
or
"We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools. Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?"
or
When running last time... "Let [Romney] make this challenge: ‘I’ll release my tax returns when Barack Obama releases his college transcripts and the copy of his admission records to show whether he got any loans as a foreign student. When he releases that, talk to me about my tax returns."

I'm just afraid that Huckabee will make Ted Cruz look moderate with statements like this one, 'Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) suggested Friday that young Americans planning to join the military should wait until President Barack Obama leaves office to do so because his administration has an "open hostility toward the Christian faith."'
