2016 hopeful Mike Huckabee has no problem being crass and nasty, but his remarks about transgender people were also sort of creepy and telling.

If he "could have felt like a woman," the Republican former Arkansas governor joked earlier this year, then he could have seen his female classmates without their clothes on.

"Now I wish that someone told me that when I was in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers in PE," Huckabee said.

"I'm pretty sure that I would have found my feminine side and said, 'Coach, I think I'd rather shower with the girls today.' You're laughing because it sounds so ridiculous doesn't it?"

Which proves he really doesn't understand a damn thing he's talking about there, but he is proving just how much of a cretin he really is.
