Mike Huckabee: This is an attempt to destroy Donald Trump

>> ANYWAY, THANK YOU BOTH. SO HOW WILL THE DOJ'S NEVER ENDING ANTI-TRUMP WITCH HUNT IMPACT THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE GOP FIELD IS GROWING WITH FORMER TRUMP VICE-PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE JUMPING IN, TRUMP HATER CHRIS CHRISTIE JUMPING IN THE RACE. FORMER ARKANSAS GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE AND FORMER TRUMP COMMUNICATIONS AND FORM PENS PRESS SECRETARY MARK LOWDER. I THINK YOU HAVE TWO DIFFERENT CASES HERE MIKE WE'LL GO TO YOU TONIGHT AND START WITH YOU SEE AND THAT IS, MIKE PENCE WAS THE VP. IN THE CASE OF CHRIS CHRISTIE HE LEFT OFFICE WITH I BELIEVE A 14% APPROVAL RATING AND HE SEEMS TO HAVE INDICATED HE ONLY WANTS TO RUN FOR ONE REASON AND THAT'S TO BLUDGEON TRUMP. NOT A PARTICULARLY INSPIRING CAMPAIGN SLOGAN. >> NO, NOT AT ALL. AND, YOU KNOW, LOOK, THIS IS A ONE-MAN RACE FOR THE GOP NOMINATION AND IF YOU'RE ANYONE NOT NAMED TRUMP, DeSANTIS HAS GOT A HUGE MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB, ALL OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES HAVE A MOUNT EVEREST TO CLIMB AND IF I'M ONE OF THE OTHER CAMPAIGNS I'M HOPING CHRIS CHRISTIE THROWS HAY MAKERS AND SAY THINGS I DON'T WANT TO SAY SO YOU CAN CLOSE THE GAP BUT THE ONLY THING I THINK OF WHEN I HEAR CHRIS CHRISTIE, I THINK OF THAT BEACH PICTURE AND YOU JUST CAN'T UNSEE IT. >> Sean: YOU CAN'T UNSEE IT LIKE YOU CAN'T UNSEE THE OBAMA HUG DURING THE ROMNEY RACE, AND YOU REALLY CAN'T FORGET ABOUT BRIDGE GATE, ALTHOUGH OBVIOUSLY THAT CASE I BELIEVE WAS TOSSED OUT IN THE END ON APPEAL. GOVERNOR DO YOU SEE ANY OF THESE CANDIDATES MAKING HEAD WAY HERE AND WHAT IMPACT DO YOU THINK, IF THIS IN FACT HAPPENS AND THERE'S AN INDICTMENT ON WHAT WE BELIEVE WOULD BE A PROCESS CRIME, DOES THAT IMPACT DONALD TRUMP'S POPULARITY WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND MAYBE THE COUNTRY AT LARGE? >> YEAH. I THINK HIS POPULARITY GOES UP AND HIS NUMBERS GO UP. PEOPLE SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. PEOPLE AREN'T STUPID. AND THEY CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO DESTROY DONALD TRUMP ON A PERSONAL LEVEL SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM POLITICALLY. AND I FEEL THAT THEY'RE MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE. EVERYTHING THEY'VE DONE SO FAR HAS BACKFIRED. IT'S ALMOST LIKE WATCHING A ROAD RUNNER CARTOON AND WILY COYOTE CONTINUES TO USE SOME ACME DYNAMITE JUST NOT WORKING. I WANT TO AGREE WITH MY FRIEND MARK LOWDER WHO NAILS IT. CHRIS CHRISTIE IS IN THIS NOT BECAUSE HE HAS A VISION FOR PRESIDENT AND I THINK MANY OTHER CANDIDATES DO AND THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE BUT CHRIS CHRISTIE IS A BITTER OLD GUY WHO IS ANGRY AT DONALD TRUMP. HERE'S THE PROVENLT CHRIS CHRISTIE CAN'T GET OVER ONE THING THAT WILL DESTROY HIM AND THAT'S CHRISTOPHER WRAY. PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT IT WAS CHRIS CHRISTIE WHO URGED DONALD TRUMP TO PUT IN WRAY AS FBI DIRECTOR AND WE KNOW HOW THAT'S TURNED OUT. SO IF THERE'S ANY REASON WE CAN'T TRUST CHRIS CHRISTIE'S JUDGMENT AND WOULD NOT WANT HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE, JUST REMEMBER CHRISTOPHER RAY. THAT'S ALL IM --- >> Sean: LET ME ASK YOU THIS, MIKE I'LL GIVE YOU THE FIRST SHOT AT IT. IF YOU'RE DONALD TRUMP HE'S INDICATED HE PROBABLY WON'T BE ADVISED IN PRIMARY DEBATES. IF YOU WERE ADVISING HIM WOULD YOU TELL HIM TO TAKE PART IN THEM OR NOT? >> AT HE NOT GOING TO HELP JIMENEZLY BECAUSE HE'S 30 POINTS AHEAD HE CAN PRETTY MUCH DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO BUT IT WON'T HURT HIM EITHER. ONE THING I THINK EVERYBODY SAW IN 2016, HE CAN GO ON THAT STAGE WITH EVERYBODY WHO'S HAD YEARS OF DEBATE EXPERIENCE AND HE WIPES THE FLOOR BECAUSE HE'S JUST FREE WHEELING ENOUGH THAT HE'S NOT A CANDIDATE THAT GOES OUT THERE WITH ALL HIS NOTE CARDS INDELABLY IMPRINT ORDER THE BACK OF HIS HEAD HE GOES IN THERE AND FREE WHEELS AND BASICALLY WIPES EVERY PERSON OFF THAT STAGE. IT WON'T HURT HIM BUT I THINK HE PROBABLY CAN CREATE HIS OWN VENUES AND NOT HAVE TO GO. LOOK, I THINK THE DEBATES ARE A JOKE. I THINK THEY'RE GAME SHOW. I DON'T THINK THAT THEY HAVE ANY VALIDITY ANYMORE. IT'S ALL ABOUT. >> Sean: I THINK THEY'RE BAD, A LOT ARE BAD. >> THE ANCHORS -- NO, THEY'RE HORRIBLE. I BEG THE RNC, WENT TO A CHICAGO MEETING AND SAID TAKE THESE THINGS AWAY FROM THE NETWORKS, DON'T LET THEM CONTROL IT. LET THE CANDIDATES RUN THE DEBATES. LET THEM P SPEAK THEIR MIND AND GIVE THEM A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME EVERYBODY GETS EXACTLY THE SAME. I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD PROCESS. >> Sean: MARK REAL QUICK SMART OR NOT SMART UNTIL HE DEBATES. >> I WOULD WAIT UNTIL IT THINS DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND GET DOWN TO A
