Note the metaphor here–not that all presidential candidates are trying to help America, but that only my party’s teammates might help me defeat the hated opponents. Because what happens after the election Superbowl is meaningless except to prepare for the next one.

That has to be the funniest headline I’ve ever read in my life.

…and I will refrain from criticizing Teabagger Asshole Extraordinaire Mike Huckabee for 5 minutes, since I may want his support when I am crowned Supreme Emperor of the Known Fucking Universe.
See, progressives can be delusional, too. Just ask the 37 voices in my head.

Yeah … and I want Trump’s support if I am named as the Yankees new First Baseman. - equally plausible

He won’t because he can’t afford to lose any support he already has.

Although Huckabee will never possibly get nominated, he is still wise not to criticize Trump. It is pretty clear at this point that anyone who slings mud at Trump will find himself (or herself) swimming in a mud pit.

Who knew Huckafuck was so easily intimidated by the monied elite? Waving the white flag of surrender…what a pussy. BTW, the Huckster is not getting anywhere near the White House, not now, not later, not ever. So dream on, loser…as tRump would say.

One could say that at least Huckabee is being honest. What strikes me most, however, is that he just admitted that he would choose possible political gain over standing up for a principle - and no one is even pretending to be offended by that.

Typical Republican mindset. All quarterbacks and no linemen.

I suppose if you sift hard enough through the buzzwords in this statement you might conclude there’s a whiff of honesty.
“I put my sights on the prize, not the rivals who want the same position. I look at this like I was trying out for quarterback of the football team. And I want to get the job and take us to the Super Bowl because I play a better game, not because I broke the legs of everybody else who’s trying out for the team and I think Republicans made big mistakes in the past, by eating each other alive in the primary and we have totally ravaged the candidate who goes up against the Democrat,”
Sometimes the quarterback gets punched in the face by the lineman, breaking his jaw, NY Jets.

Exactly, I hate to admit it, but the Huckster and Cruz are the only ones wisely dealing with Trump and his massive ego. It makes no sense at all to attack Trump because he’s just going to turn around and attack you even harder, in more crass detail, you’ll wind up losing some support, and you’ll be guaranteeing he won’t throw his voters to you should he concede. And as loyal and entrenched as Trump’s voters appear to be, his endorsement might wind up being one of the most important, most sought after endorsements of this election. The people attacking him, the people refusing to stroke his YUGE ego, aren’t going to get that endorsement. He’s going to give it to someone who’ll not only use him on the campaign trail, but will also bow down to him and make him feel like the god he thinks he is.

So Huckabee is jointing Cruz in the Trump lap-dog/fighting for scraps club.
Got it.
