MARTHA MACCALLUM (CO-HOST): You know, another moment that got a lot of attention was right at the end when Hillary Clinton was making what became the final comment, and he said under his breath but loud enough so everybody could hear, “nasty woman.” Was that a good idea given what he has been confronting in the polls with women? 

MIKE HUCKABEE: No, I mean it's not a great idea. I have to constantly remind myself that Donald Trump grew up in Queens. He's kind of a street fighter. He's just a classic sort of New York tough guy. For those of us who grew up in the South where southern gentility still means something, you know, the handshake would have been nice, maybe a nice smile here and there. But look, this was a fight to the finish last night. He said what he thinks. There are a lot of people in America who say to heck with gentility, what we want is somebody who is unfiltered, who's plain spoken, who couldn't care less about political correctness and the niceties because we're hurting, we're sick of getting kicked in the gut. And if there is somebody who will be president that will put his foot out there and start kicking back, we're gonna vote for him. And frankly, that's been his formula and by gosh it's worked for him.
