Religious extremist and presidential wannabee Mike Huckabee said that he will support the Republican nominee, even if it is Donald Trump. Really?

First of all, Trump is not a true Republican; he is a third party candidate running under the GOP banner, but is actually moving towards fascism. But that can also be truthfully said about Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul. They are TEA Party darlings and do not believe in Republican principles, or the beliefs of our founding fathers.

Huckabee calls himself a Republican, but he is actually a lobbyist for the Christian religious right; although he doesn’t talk and act like a true follower of Jesus Christ. Huckabee is also anti-American because he wants to violate the first amendment and institute Christianity as our national religion. He also denies the rights of individuals to practice their own faith without facing verbal or physical abuse.

According to recent polls, Huckabee is polling eighth in Iowa, but he doesn’t believe in polls; he believes that 75 percent of the residents of Iowa have yet to make a decision.

“If they’re so smart, how come none of them predicted that [Trump] would be on top of things right now? How come none of them predicted who would be leading, who would be trailing?” he said. “And if they’re so wrong about that why on earth should anybody in America believe them about who’s going to be the nominee and who isn’t?”

Huckabee is in denial. He will likely receive support from a large contingent of evangelicals in Iowa, but so will Ted Cruz. We must not forget that Rick Santorum won the Iowa caucuses in 2012. I know you’re saying ‘Rick who,’ but it’s a fact nonetheless.

Huckabee told FOX Noise that if he doesn’t finish at least third in Iowa, he will end his efforts to obtain the nomination. He might as well quit now, and save the money his Super PAC will spend. Ads are already being aired in Iowa, criticizing Ted Cruz for telling fund raisers in Manhattan that defeating the Supreme Court decision regarding same-sex marriage would not be in his top three priorities.

Intelligent voters are already aware that neither Huckabee or Cruz would represent the vast majority of our nations people. For them it would be the Christian religious right, and other special interests; the working class would be ignored.

If Huckabee is truly religious, and not simply an opportunist, how can he pledge to support Trump if he wins the GOP nomination? Trump opposes the primary beliefs of Christians. He promotes hate instead of love; he is a blatant racist and bigot, although Jesus Christ told us to love all men equally; and he promotes the politics of fear instead of ‘trusting in God’ as Christ instructed his followers.

The GOP is filled with hypocrites, and 13 of them want to be your president. Each of them would destroy American principles, and therefore our nation itself.

Huckabee has his own agenda, and that agenda is not the needs and desires of the American people. He is simply another ambitious politician who seeks power and glory.

Huckabee is bad for the American people and a danger to the American way of life.
