Huckabee: After 7 Years of Obama a Lot of Republicans Would Take Bill Clinton

KILMEADE: “So, you do — you do think it’s fair game to say Bill Clinton was impeached because he had an affair in the White House and lied about it.”
HEGSETH: “And even more so, is he liability? Is he — is he — rather than asset, so much of the mainstream media tells us that Bill Clinton is an asset. Is he really a liability for Hillary Clinton?”
HUCKABEE: “He’s probably not because he’s still immensely popular with Democrats and that’s what this process is right now. He’s still popular with a lot of Americans. Frankly, after seven years of Obama, a lot of Republicans would take Bill Clinton back warts and all just because at least he understood how to govern. He was not the kind of person who utterly demonized the other side legislatively. Now Bill Clinton is partisan, most of us are, but he also had a history and I think it was the fact that he’d been a long-term governor and understood how to govern. But, you know, when Newt Gingrich was speaker of the House he worked with him to get welfare reform, worked with him on other pieces of legislation that were good for the country, and I think there are a lot of people that miss that kind of functional government which we don’t have now. It’s utterly dysfunctional, and people are just sick of it, because what they’ve seen is, their wages are down, their hopes —“
KILMEADE: “Right.”
HUCKABEE: “— their opportunities have been falling, and they’re a little tired of that.”
KILMEADE: “All right, governor, thanks so much. Governor Mike Huckabee best of luck. I know it’s going to be a sprint now once the holidays were over. Thanks for joining us this morning.”
KOOIMAN: “Merry Christmas.”
HUCKABEE: “Thank you, guys.”
