Why Am I Enjoying The GOP's Donald Trump Debacle So Much? (Updated Yet Again)

Because it's causing shit like this to happen:
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Saturday invoked the specter of the Holocaust to criticize President Barack Obama for his decision to negotiate with Iran over its nuclear program.

“This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven," Huckabee said in an interview with Breitbart News.
The one thing I like about Huckabee is that he always doubles down on the stupid shit he says, so don't expect any apologies from him over his "Obama Exterminates Jews" remark.  I fully expect him to evoke more Holocaust imagery in future attacks on President Blackenstein.

As I wrote a couple weeks ago, Republican presidential candidates who decide to run a normal campaign just won't be able to compete in this Trump-infused environment, so they will be forced to attempt to "trump Trump" by saying and doing some really crazy shit during the last half of July.  Huckabee acting out during the Breitbart interview is a good example of this.  Here's another:



More please.

UPDATE:  Here is what Mike Huckabee said in 2008 about Iran:
"We cannot live with al Qaeda, but we might be able to live with a contained Iran. Iran will not acquire nuclear weapons on my watch. But before I look parents in the eye to explain why I put their son's or daughter's life at risk, I want to do everything possible to avoid conflict. We have substantive issues to discuss with Tehran."
Yes, that's right -- Huckabee was for negotiating with Iran before he was against it.

You just can't make this shit up.

UPDATE II:  It's Ted Cruz's turn:



For some reason, this sort of reminds me of those "pork-infused bullets" designed to "send Muslims straight to hell."
