Mike Huckabee's Biggest Fears About Election, 'Disturbing' Possibilities

Mike Huckabee has worn many hats in the public square. He was once the governor of Arkansas, a Republican presidential candidate — and a pastor. Today, he's a commentator and TV host, sharing his perspective on the news and political happenings of the day. The preacher-turned-politico, who has a new daily TBN show called "Huckabee Today," recently told CBN News he believes the state of American politics today is more polarized than he's ever seen it. "I've never seen it quite so filled with rancor and contentiousness, but part of that is because people feel very passionately about their beliefs, their country," Huckabee said. "And we have a divided country ... what we have is a divide between those who want to lean towards socialism, where the government gets stronger and bigger — where many people think the government is god." He continued, "And then there are still many of us who believe that the government is at best a tool of god, but it needs to be in the hands of people of integrity people who will use it fairly and justly, but it should never become our god." Huckabee said people must remember the importance of freedom both "individually and corporately" as a centerpiece of America. One of the big changes Huckabee has noticed is a political drift within the parties. He said both Democrats and Republicans were once not too far apart and could find common ground. Today, he believes that the dynamic is quite different. "We're living in a time now where it's hard to find common ground with people who believe that we're an evil country ... who believe that America was built on stealing land from people to whom it belonged and therefore we should give it back," he said. "When you have that much of a fundamental difference, it's really hard to find common ground and find that sort of center of governing." Huckabee also shared his biggest fears about what might unfold policy-wise in November if former president Donald Trump isn't the victor. Watch him explain.
