DOVER, N.H. — Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee took the unusual step of coming to the defense of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton about showing her emotions.
“I can understand it. Everybody is tired,” the former Arkansas governor said outside polling station in Methodist church. “I attribute a lot of it to just being worn out and reflecting how much passion a person must put into a race. So I say cut her some slack. She’s human, and you don’t elect a president to be inhuman.”
And he pleaded for a little slack for himself too, even though he is not expected to do particularly well in the New Hampshire primary despite winning the Iowa caucuses.
“If I break down and cry today I want you to cut me some slack,” he said.
