Actually, Hunter endorsed Hunter. That’s why he ran. Reagan endorse Jerry Ford, after loosing to him, so learn something.
DeMint endorsed Flip Romney, Coburn and Inhofe endorsed McQueeg, etc. So it goes
No, Hunter definately endorsed Huckleberry.
Hunter even gave Huckleberry his delegate.
Reagan stood behind his party’s nominee, just barely, only after Ford was officially nominated. But Reagan also launched his 1980 campaign just moments after losing to Ford, signaling to his supporters to not get behind Ford, and wait 4 years for his return.
What Reagan didn’t do was drop out and endorse Ford upon doing so, nor did he give Ford a single delegate.
There is no comparison. Sorry.
And you really ought to stop dragging the late great president’s name through the mud by trying.
