Some of the Republican Presidential candidates are getting desperate for attention. The way to get attention, as shown by Donald Trump, is to make outrageous statements; that works and works very well. Trump is leading in all the polls and most of the remaining field is far behind him. The answer to Trump is for some of the folks back in the pack to start being outrageous too.

The Reverend Mike Huckabee has presented the public with a nicely hyperbolic comment designed to get himself lots of attention. Huckabee claims that “This President’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. It is so naïve that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven. This is the most idiotic thing, this Iran deal. It should be rejected by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress and by the American people. I read the whole deal. We gave away the whole store. It’s got to be stopped.” As you can see the man is sputtering!

My, my; “march them to the door of the oven;” that will certainly get Huckabee some publicity. This was from an interview on Breitbart Radio where the President is referred to as President “Hussein” Obama. Of course he was, what else would you expect from Breitbart!

There is little point in asking what Huckabee would suggest as an alternative. None of the right wingers are able to do anything but criticize what has been done without offering any suggestions about how it might have been improved. Notice that Huckabee criticizes only the President in this rant; he has nothing to say about the other five countries that were party to this agreement. Huckabee’s only interest here is to get some publicity for himself by raging against the President
