Since Trump has made clear that if he wins, he’ll use the power of the state to persecute his political enemies, sounds to me like this is the last free (I won’t pretend our elections are fair) election for a while, regardless of who wins.
Ok.
We have laws against making terrorist threats, but this one was made by a rich white Republican, so it’ll be overlooked.
Huckabee has nothing left but Trump. Once Trump is gone Huckabee goes to the old folks home. He did nothing for Arkansas and nothing for America.
And he's an American Baptist minister.
I'm shocked, SHOCKED I say!

"They almost forgot about me. I better grab some headlines."
Fat Kevin Spacey say what?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mike Huckabee (R) on Wednesday said 2024 will be the last election “decided by ballots rather than bullets” if former President Trump doesn’t win the presidential race because of his various legal battles.
In the latest episode of his show on TBN, Huckabee argued the legal woes now facing Trump are part of a politically motivated scheme from the Biden administration, an argument touted by many in the former president’s orbit.
“If these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets,” Huckabee warned in his opening monologue.
As Trump campaigns for the White House in 2024 — after losing his reelection bid in 2020 to Biden — he’s been faced with multiple indictments on federal and state charges in courthouses across the country.
The former president now faces charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and to his handling of classified documents following two DOJ investigations.
Huckabee, who unsuccessfully ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and 2016, went on to laud Trump, who has long polled as the front-runner of the GOP field.
The original article contains 403 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Mask off, Huckabee.
