Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has long been part of a powerful political machine, but she will meet her match in November against Republican Donald Trump, says Mike Huckabee, one of Trump's recently vanquished rivals.
"The reason I'm sitting in this chair talking to you instead of on stage is because like everybody else, I underestimated Donald Trump and the connection he was having to voters," the former Arkansas governor said Tuesday night on Fox News Channel's
"The Kelly File."
Even with their vaunted "Clinton Playbook," the former secretary of state and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, don't know what to do with Trump, Huckabee agreed.
"They're conventional politicians," Huckabee said, "but they're rugged, they're ruthless."
He said he's faced the Clinton machine in every race he's run in Arkansas, but that was nothing compared to Trump.
"I can tell you, Hillary is in for the ride of her life when she has to take on Donald Trump," he said. "It will be unlike anything she or her husband have faced before. I really think it is, you know, game, advantage for Trump."
