Mike Huckabee: Donald Trump is like the guy who gets eaten by the shark in Jaws
The 2016 campaign has jumped the shark. Specifically, the shark from Jaws.
In a conversation with Fox News host Megyn Kelly, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee declared that Republican presidential nominee
Donald Trump may be rough around the edges, but when the chips are down, he’s the person you can trust to save your life - not unlike Captain Quint in the film Jaws.
“He’s like Captain Quint in the original movie Jaws,” said Huckabee. “He’s vulgar, he’s salty, he might even get drunk... But hold on here: he’s the guy who’s gonna save your butt and save your family. And so, at the end of the day, when he kills the shark, you’re happy about it.”
Huckabee, who has long been a critic of American popular culture, continued with the analogy. “Now, Hillary is the shark,” Huckabee said. “She’s going to eat your boat, she’s gonna have open borders, immigration out the kazoo, and so the choice is, do you vote for Captain Quint, who’s gonna save your family, or do you vote for the shark? That’s the choice you get to make.”
Kelly, clearly a scholar of summer blockbusters, burst Huckabee’s bubble by reminding the former governor that
Quint was devoured by the shark.
“Now, governor, I hate to be the one to tell you this,” said Kelly. “Captain Quint got eaten by the shark.”
