While Donald Trump attacks Bill Clinton, Mike Huckabee defends him
- 8 years ago
Donald Trump may be ready to bring up the more sordid parts of Bill Clinton's history, but one of his opponents for the nomination was out this morning pointing out some of the former president's attributes.
"He's still immensely popular with Democrats....He's still popular with a lot of Americans," Mike Huckabee said, in a Fox News Channel "Fox & Friends" appearance.
Huckabee, who, like Bill Clinton, served as governor of Arkansas, then went on to praise Clinton's political skills.
"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 would demonize 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 he'd been a long-term governor and understood how to govern," he said.
