Mike Huckabee is one of those folks who I think will get as many electoral votes in the 2016 presidential election as I will. Others on that list include Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Lindsay Graham, Mitt Romney, Lincoln Chafee, Bernie Sanders and Woody Woodpecker. Well, maybe not Woody Woodpecker.
Reporters are now pressing Huckabee to defend his involvement in selling a diabetes remedy that sounds like outright quackery. Huckabee's reponse on Face the Nation yesterday was, and I quote: "I don't have to defend everything that I've ever done."
Utterly fair question for Mike Huckabee: "If you were the Republican nominee running against Hillary Clinton — yeah, like that's gonna happen — would you accept that answer from her on a question involving her financial dealings?"
If he says no, he looks like a massive hypocrite. If he says yes, he's throwing away half the campaign the Republicans intend to mount against her.
