It will sure be interesting to see if the NRA supports Trump. Of course with Trumps poll numbers, they may just want to back who they perceive to be the winner. But Cruz has been a strong advocate for gun owners for a long time. From Cruz’s website:
https://www.tedcruz.org/record/our-standard-the-constitution/
*** Recognized by NRA executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre who observed, “Ted Cruz is one of our nation’s leading defenders of the Second Amendment. For over a decade, Ted has fought tirelessly to defend our constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and his leadership was absolutely critical to our major victories before the U.S. Supreme Court.”
If you asked me who the NRA would have endorsed, Cruz was the first to quickly come to mind because of his long history as an advocate .... but then again, if they think Trump is likely to win, I can see that endorsement as well.
As I said, I don’t know the source & the author has a Russian name ..... oh wait, maybe this is some well-placed propaganda by Putin, since he seems to admire Trump! (laughing)
