Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson Wants To Be Donald Trump’s Spiritual Advisor
YP-Young Conservatives ^ | May 18, 2016 | Andrew Mark Miller

Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson is very popular in some conservative circles and he made it no secret during the primary season that he was supporting Ted Cruz. He even campaigned with Cruz.

Now that Donald Trump is the GOP nominee, Phil has changed his tune and is all in with Trump. He even had an interesting suggestion as to how to help the campaign out.

From Western Journalism:

“I’ll make a valiant attempt behind the scenes, you understand, to sit down with Donald with a Bible in between us, and I might can help him along with concepts like loving your enemies, loving your god, loving your neighbor. Even your enemies, forgive them and move on,” he said. “I may can help him in that area.”

Robertson even projected a role for himself. “I can see it now: Trump wins and the camera’s panning and his spiritual adviser is me,” he said. “Is America ready for it?”

Robertson has said that he will remain loyal to the Republican Party. “I’ll go with the platform that I discovered when I was 28. I looked at the Democrats and the Republicans, and at least the Republicans aren’t for killing their children or for perversion, so I’m a Republican. So I’ll back old Donald,” he told The Hollywood Reporter recently....

Interesting idea. We will have to see what happens here with the whole “spiritual adviser” thing and there are definitely some people out there that want to see Trump talk a little more about his faith. There will be no shortage of celebrities and pundits who offer up their services to the Trump campaign.

“This woman finds those scraggly beards most unattractive.”

Been working on mine for a while. Finally have it where I can feel it blowing in the wind.

It’s inherent in his statement.

The facts you think you see are not facts at all they are a construct of your judgmental predilection.

All Dad did the extra years of his life was go to church, study his bible, and pray.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Your dad had a great checkout plan, mine doesn't resemble it much. But I surely feel there is no escape from the immoral society we have let be built, except through Christ.

No way! He supported sleazy Cruz. Don’t jump on the train after your creep lost. If he had any principles, he would have supported trump from day 1.

Public announcements and discussion always accompany authentic behind the scenes influences, of course.

Sad but we made him that way. Put a person on a stage and he thinks he has to say something.

Why is that offensive?

If we put YOU on a stage, should we take offense to whatever YOU might have to say?

He's Duck Dynasty and he's harmless.............Sheesh!

If you want to take on Phil Roberts then ask him for a debate. All I took issue with is the idea that Phil was all about cameras and money, I challenged you on it as being a shallow thinker. All your subsequent posts confirm my first impression of you.

Do you actually know anything about Phil?

“Do you actually know anything about Phil?”

Yeah, he was supporting Cruz a few days ago, and now makes a public announcement about aspiring to be a behind the scenes influence on the guy he recently opposed.

In other words, not much.
