Mitt Romney is more critical, and more often, of Trump than he ever was of Obama.
Huckabee said exactly what had to be said, calling Romney out on his treachery, arrogance and dishonesty.
======================
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) blasted Sen. Mitt Romney on Friday after the Utah Republican said he was "sickened" by President Trump's actions in the Mueller report.
"Know what makes me sick, Mitt? Not how disingenuous you were to take @realDonaldTrump $$ and then 4 yrs later jealously trash him & then love him again when you begged to be Sec of State, but makes me sick that you got GOP nomination and could have been @POTUS," Huckabee tweeted.
Huckabee, an ally of Trump who is also the father of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, pushed back hours after the Utah senator blasted the "dishonesty and misdirection" described in special counsel Robert Mueller's report.
"I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the President," Romney said in a statement posted to Twitter.
"I am appalled that, among other things, fellow citizens working in a campaign for president welcomed help from Russia — including information that had been illegally obtained; that none of them acted to inform American law enforcement," he wrote.

Huckabee is certainly correct.. and Huckebee ran against him.

Can we be completely honest here for a moment?
We all know, each and every one of us, that the only reason Mike Huckabee is this far up Donald Trump's backside is because Trump gave Sarah Sanders a job. It is cronyism, nothing more, nothing less.

No way Jose, Huckabee became a big early supporter of Trump, just like Jeff Sessions.
Okay, July, 2016....still illustrates the point somewhat.

It's more like Sarah got the job because of Mike, Evangelical payback.
I thought she was stepping down. I missed her changing her decision or I am just wrong about the story.
Obviously, I'm glad she has stayed on, she is a great asset not just to the Trump admin but to the nation. Speaking of great women, Nikki Haley is currently making, at least some speeches on tour. She's going to appear at some event in a few weeks I heard about so she is probably doing this in a lot of places. Big speaking fees? I have no idea. This affair coming up doesn't seem like a really big deal.

BTW, I'm not a Mitt hater... he seems able to make organizations run, the Salt Lake Olympics and back in 2008 NOT 2012, his campaign spiel might not have been too bad.

Stop trying to bring Donald Trump into every GD thread.
He's pissed off at Romney for the same GD reason you should be.
Show me a GD Democrat who pulls this crap?

Stop trying to bring Donald Trump into every GD thread.
First off, I just went over my last 100 posts or so... I have mentioned or alluded to Trump in about 10% of them, and almost all of those have been in defense of him.
Second, Romney brought Trump into this and Huckabee made it personal, with talking points right out of the Trump campaign playbook. I didn't have to drag Trump into this because he was already there.

Sure we can and while we're examining kiesters, let's assess this.
In 1964, Barry Goldwater, a principled conservative, was the R nominee
but establishment Gov's; Rockefeller (NY), Scranton(Pa), Cahill (NJ)
and Romney(Michigan); aggressively funded a media campaign against
him, guaranteeing Lyndon Johnston his landslide victory as well as control
of the House and Senate, which brought about the Great Society Agenda
as well as the Viet-Nam War; both of which still resonate to this very day.
Doofus Willard, the spawn of Georgie, is more of the same; an unprincipled
and sanctimonious lefty hustler who has achieved squat. Pass it on!!!!!

Mitt Romney - Still not The President
Romney, Still not the President?
There is a term to describe Romney.
No. Not that vulgar one.
Romney is a Never Was Er.
That was his high point.
