“I’m not sure why she needed to do that because it very well could be Donald Trump may be the nominee and if he is, then we need to unite behind him”, Huckabee said Wednesday.
She’s big on amnesty but very weak on illegal immigration. But former HP chief executive Carly Fiorina argued that Americans have a right to be angry about issues such as illegal immigration.
And apparently it’s an emotion that Nikki Haley, the governor of SC, the Republican governor, also feels because in her response to President Obama’s State of the Union, she also brought up the divisiveness in this country, and she seemed to single out Donald Trump.

Haley acknowledged on Wednesday morning that she was referring to Trump when she warned Americans not to follow the angriest voices in politics.

Asked if he would want Haley as the face of the party King said laughingly: “I think she’s lovely so I’d be happy if she’s the face of the party”. “It’s certainly that, but her speech last night sort of expanded the theme of who is and who isn’t qualified to be a Republican, and the Republican Party is still anti-conservative”, Limbaugh said.
