Donald J. Trumps candidacy has driven away throngs of Republican elected officials, donors and policy experts. But not the National Rifle Association.
With Mr. Trump increasingly isolated and hobbled by controversies of his own making, the powerful gun-rights group has emerged as one of his remaining stalwart allies in the Republican coalition: the institution on the right most aggressively committed to his candidacy, except for the Republican National Committee itself.
The association has spent millions of dollars on television commercials for Mr. Trump, even as other Republican groups have kept their checkbooks closed and Mr. Trumps campaign has not run any ads of its own.

Trump is and will continue to be a strong defender of the US Constitution, including the 2nd Amendment -- as opposed to Hillary's stance and intent.
That’s all?
That’s all he has left?
Just a few bitter clingers from the NRA?
Boy, Hillary really beat him quick, huh?
I dont belong to the NRA and I’m FIRMLY in support and fully behind Trump.
So go #### yourselves, Times.
He’s my candidate.
Go visit the hypocrite socialist’s 600k house for pate, you faggot leftist ####s
All Muslims aren’t terrorists but all gun owners are serial killers, right Hillary?
Actually, judging from past elections, the person who is backed by the NRA usually wins.
F.M.C.D.H.
Didn’t GHWB cancel his NRA membership?
Because the NRA is one of the few right-leaning groups that actually fights and wins, unlike the multitude of candy-ass groups that are just a letterhead and a fund-raising apparatus to provide a steady paycheck to people that can issue platitudes and nothing else.
Sadly the US is now the same as the Former Soviet Union.
One party.
One press.
Only a revolution would chnage things.
“Didnt GHWB cancel his NRA membership?”
I haven’t heard, but I certainly hope not.
And he lost, the wimp.
ONLY the NRA? Poor Trump. Hillary has Lucifer and his army working overtime for the hag.
We don’t need a “revolution”, just change in leadership.
same here paisano, I dont belong to the NRA and I support the 2A. I think it’s about the right time the MSM start ramping up the fake BS stories. Usually they go hard core liars around September..
And all the illegally-armed-to-the-teeth inner city ghetto trash is firmly behind Hillary.
In 1995 when Slick Willie was president.
Trump also has me.
Yes. The Quisling most certainly did.
