Huckabee Says Voters Will Abandon GOP

Huckabee Says Voters Will Abandon GOP

Mike Huckabee said that the Republican Party is at risk of losing its members if lawmakers continue to make decisions that ignore their values, The Hill reports.

Said Huckabee: “You sense it on the campaign trail. One of the things you see is a seething rage… The Republicans folded. That’s why people in the Republican Party are just bolting for the door.”

is because normal people don't show up to his events. The people that come to see him are predisposed towards seething however much they are told to rage and they relish it. When all you do is tell your simpleton followers how angry they should be you are likely to see how angry they can be.

people in the Republican Party are just bolting for the door.”

Huckabee argued that Republican lawmakers did not fight hard enough for conservative priorities in the funding package.

“It was absolutely outrageous to see a whole litany of things [included], whether it was Planned Parenthood funding, funding for Syrian refugee relocation, [a] 400 percent increase in bringing in foreign workers to replace Americans,” Huckabee continued.

Right, Mike. republicans will lose because they are not conservative enough. What an idiot!
