  • Mike Huckabee Says Donald Trump Not Hurting GOP With Mexican Statements

    Mike Huckabee was asked recently if he thinks Donald Trump is hurting the GOP brand by making bombastic statements about Mexicans and illegal immigration. Many have pointed to the GOP’s tolerance of Trump and his remarks as being indicative of how the rest of the GOP feels, but just isn’t saying.

    Comedian Jackie Mason said recently that Trump is showing up the GOP by saying what the rest of them are too scared to say out loud.

    “So this guy just saved thousands of lives by the fact that he has such a big mouth and tells the truth,” Jackie Mason said of Trump.

    The “truth” Mason speaks of refers to Trump’s statements at his candidacy kickoff.

    “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” Trump said when he announced his run for president. “They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

    Is Trump hurting the GOP brand?

    “I don’t think so,” Huckabee offers.

    Huckabee would like to have “as much attention” as Trump is getting, “because anybody getting that much attention certainly is going to soar in the polls.”

    “But I don’t think that people ought to wring their hands that Donald Trump is in there,” Huckabee went on. “He’ll say things differently than most of us, he’ll say things that maybe some of us wouldn’t say, but he has as much right to be on the stage and speak his message as any of us.”

    Mike Huckabee also spoke about the Supreme Court decision that legalized gay marriage nationwide.

    “Do we let the constitutional authority be superseded by black robes?” Huckabee asked, offering no explanation about the constitutional authority of the judicial branch of government.

    Mike Huckabee does insist that he is in the race to win, not to sell books or get a TV show. In fact, he argues, he left a successful career to get into the race.

    “That’s what I walked away from to become President,” Huckabee said. “It’s pretty obvious to anyone following this that I must be serious about becoming President.”

  • Donald Trump Praised by Comedian Jackie Mason for Having a Big Mouth

    Donald Trump got high praise from comedian Jackie Mason recently when the veteran comic appeared on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio.”

    Trump has gotten a mix of responses lately for his outspoken views on immigration. He lost some business partners and gained the ire of what appears to be the entire country of Mexico when he announced his candidacy.

    “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” Trump said when he announced his run for president. “They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

    Many have flocked to support Trump, saying that he is simply saying out loud what needs to be said.

    “So this guy just saved thousands of lives by the fact that he has such a big mouth and tells the truth,” Jackie Mason said of Trump.

    Donald Trump is not just catching flak from liberals over his statements, but also from members of the party he hopes will nominate him to run for president. He has particularly gone head to head with Jeb Buch and Marco Rubio over his statements about Mexican immigrants.

    Jackie Mason says establishment Republicans “can’t tolerate” Trump’s outspoken attitude “and they are making him into the clown.”

    “They are the clowns!” Mason shot back.

    Mason further argued that the GOP “stinks because all of the Republicans have accomplished nothing, and they talk about all of these issues and do nothing about it for a whole lifetime.”

    Mason says Donald Trump made everyone uncomfortable, but it had to be done.

    “And as soon as he dramatized the issue (of illegal immigration), they got panicky and the only guy that made sense disturbed them and it panicked them. Because it proves that they are doing nothing, and he’s accomplishing something by telling the truth.”

    “And he’s making a fool out of them by being honest. And an honest person is intolerable amongst thieves.”

    Some are of the opinion that Trump may be good for the party because he says out loud the things that other think silently. But that does not mean he can win the primary, much less an election. When asked about Trump’s actual chances of being elected, Mason was positive.

    “There’s no question about it that not only does he stand a chance, but I see it as very strong possibility that he is going to bury all of them, and he is going to come out the big winner.”

    Mason then said what many are saying about Trump’s run and outspokenness.

    “The silent majority is back, and we’re going to take our country back.”
