Actually, he probably thought, "God, I really am smarter than you. Leave the halo on your way out."

It gets trotted out after every Republican loss, and I don't think it's dying, but the GOP just seems to be tearing itself apart lately. Trump just waltzed into the core and drained all the coolant and is just standing back cackling, his leathery skin pulled back in an inhuman sneer. Huckabee just starts praying to the glowing rods, proclaiming them to be the light of God.

Of course his reasons for it are revolting on their own, but I think the scariest part of what he is saying is that he'd be willing to ignore the courts. That's a direct threat to the separation of powers. His argument is that judicial decisions will only be followed if he agrees with them. Huckabee is literally saying that he'll be a theocratic dictator if he's elected.

"A lot of these organizations wouldn’t have the ability to do urgent fundraising because if we slay the dragon, what dragon do they continue to fight?"This sums up the essence of conservatives, wingnuts, fundies, Republicans and all others of this mindset. They need an enemy; they thrive on hate and without an excuse to go to war against someone or something they have no reason to exist. The very notion of "live and let live" doesn't even pop up on their radar screens.
