Mike Huckabee: "Trump gets things done."

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/mike-huckabee-trump-like-a-doctor-with-gruff-bedside-manner-but-at-least-the-patient-isnt-dead/

“Donald Trump is kind of like a doctor who sometimes has a rather gruff bedside manner,” Huckabee said. “Nobody’s going to argue that point.”

“He can be crude and he can come across sometimes less than people think, but, by golly, the patient is alive and I’d rather have this president, who gets things done, than one who comes in, he’s nice and he’s polite and he smiles, but my family member dies in the hospital bed,” Huckabee added. “America needs to say two words to Donald Trump: Thank you.”

Yeah! Trump is getting stuff done!
Like creating coal-jobs! (The retailer Sears is about to go bankrupt. Sears employs more people than the entire US coal-industry.)
Like stopping the outsourcing of jobs! (Those 900 jobs Trump prevented from going to Mexico? They are still going to Mexico.)
Like repairing infrastructure. (By making communities and states foot the bill and covering the rest of the costs by selling off said infrastructure to corporations.)
Like building the wall! (...)
Like repealing Obamacare! (...)
Like passing a budget that represents the american people! (...)
Like not shutting the government down and not creating an economic crisis. (...)

On the other hand...
Trump DID put a christian extremist on the Supreme Court.
Trump IS fighting against equality for women and LGBT-people.

So, yeah. He is getting things done.

that's insane. It's one thing to be Trump and be too stupid to know that you are stupid. It's another to not be stupid and defend what is patently stupid.

It's unethical - or, to put it in Huckabee terms: It's immoral.

When do we get that magic "aha" moment when things turn and the patient miraculously gets better?

Sorry, but what the country suffers from is not some obscure malady nobody has ever heard of. America is suffering from a severe case of Republicanitis. What our country needs is a serious transfusion in the body politic. Drain out all of the bad blood Repubs and replace them with healthy Dems.
