Huckabee: ‘Very Frustrating’ To Be Asked Questions About Trump in the Debates

‘I only got three questions in the most recent one and it’s really hard to get your message out there’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 

BRZEZINSKI: “Joining us now from Santa Rosa beach, Florida, former Arkansas governor, Mike Huckabee. Mike Barnicle, Mark Halperin and Jamie Weinstein all at the table as well. Governor Huckabee, thank you for being on the show this morning. Let’s talk about the debate setup.”
HUCKABEE: “Sound like you’re ganging up on me.”
BRZEZINSKI: “I’m not. I’m not. Let’s talk about the debate setup. What do you make of the setup, especially given that Ben Carson is one of the front-runners?”
HUCKABEE: “I’m not excited about it. Sometime national polls drive things. If they did, we’d have president Giuliani and president Cain based where they were at this point in time. But rules are rules. You agree to play by them, you don’t have to like it. I think there’s a lot of unfortunate pairings that happen. If we don’t get an adequate amount of time in those debates, it’s hard to keep advancing. I only got three questions in the most recent one and it’s really hard to get your message out there when you’re not able to talk about why we need to protect social security, why medicare is important to seniors are why we need to make big changes in the tax man and instead I get questions like do you think Donald Trump has the moral character to be president? That’s very frustrating.”
