Mike Huckabee Claims Debate Forum Benefits Trump, Predicts Biden to Be Screaming, ‘Irrational Crazy Man’
Mike Huckabee predicted a potential “irrational” and “crazy” President Joe Biden at Thursday’s CNN debate and declared Donald Trump if perfectly prepared thanks to his hush money trial.
“The smart play for Donald Trump is let Joe Biden talk,” Huckabee told Steve Doocy on Fox & Friends on Wednesday.
The former Arkansas governor argued that if Biden takes to the “yelling” and “screaming” he deployed during his State of the Union address, it will fall flat due to Thursday’s event lacking an audience. He claimed Trump won’t suffer from the lack of an audience because he “understands the power of television.”
“It’s going to be a very sterile environment. I’m surprised Joe wanted it that way because he can’t in any way feed off of the crowd,” Huckabee said. “Now you can say, well, Donald Trump can’t either, but Donald Trump understands the power of television in a way Joe doesn’t, and here’s going to be the problem for Joe Biden: if he goes to that yelling thing, it’s going to come across as an irrational crazy man because television is such a intimate medium.”
The Republican called it a “bad forum” for the president, but one that will benefit the former president.
Biden has reportedly been working with his team to prepare for the event with mock debates. Huckabee dismissed Trump needing the same type of preparation and “coaching,” claiming that Trump’s hush money trial — which ended with him convicted of more than 30 felony counts — was the best preparation for a debate.
Trump did not testify at his trial and mostly communicated through rants to gathered media in Manhattan before and after his trial days. He is scheduled for sentencing on July 11.
“He sat through seven weeks of a trial in which he had to be insulted day after day after day. You can’t get better preparation than that,” Huckabee said. “And then he’s been out on the rally stage and he’s been talking to cheering crowds. He’s ready.
