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.

Time per NPR Trump 18:47 Jeb 15:48 Carly 12:56 Carson 12:56 Christie 12:36 Rubio 11:21 Cruz 10:45 Rand 10:28 Kasich 9:44 Huck 9:12 Walk 8:29

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

Wouldn't be surprised if Mike Huckabee or Chris Christie went up in the polls, they made good points

@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

Forget who won the #GOPDebate It's easier to name the losers: Mike Huckabee, Scott Walker, Rand Paul are at the bottom.

Mike Huckabee, Carla Fiona, and the Gov of Ohio were the best to me this debate. #GOPDebate
