Mike Huckabee may have been able to win a few points with his conservative Christian base, again passionately defending Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, but he failed to make a big impression during the second Republican debate.
He opened his comments during the debate Wednesday night on CNN by comparing the Republican candidates to the A-Team, and calling frontrunner Donald Trump their “own Mr. T.”
Huckabee spoke for a total of 9:12, which was the second shortest amount of speaking time to Scott Walker.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Huckabee’s performance:
Mike Huckabee: an optimistic, visionary leader, right on the issues but also an inspiring positive leader. Clear winner tonight! #GOPDebate
If I had to choose, Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul and Chris Christie should think about wrapping it up. #GOPDebate
@MegSmith24 Sorry, Mike Huckabee is now history. He’ll never be President. He was non-existent in the debate; he brings nothing to the table
Mike Huckabee, Carla Fiona, and the Gov of Ohio were the best to me this debate. #GOPDebate
