HOUSTON, Texas - Today the Cruz for President campaign announced the endorsement of actor Clint Howard. Howard is an actor who has starred in over 200 films over the past 50 years including How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Apollo 13.
"Clint Howard is an excellent actor and a true patriot," Cruz said. "It is encouraging to see members of Hollywood stand up for principle. Our country is in desperate need of leaders who will guide us toward what is moral and right and Clint is one of those leaders. He understands where our country is headed and what needs to be done and I truly appreciate his support."
"When candidates began declaring their intentions to run for President, I started doing research and quickly landed on Ted Cruz. I discovered a guy who has deep conviction for a set of principles and ideas I believe in," Clint said. "I like Mr. Cruz because he has courage to fight and take the flak from people who want to undermine those ideas. He’s not only unafraid, he’s anxious to engage these people in a dialogue that puts truth and common sense into the conversation. And then, there’s old fashion ‘leadership’. As the campaign heats up, it’s clear to me that Ted Cruz has what it takes to give our great nation the leadership she deserves."
Howard was born in Burbank, California, the son of actors Rance Howard and Jean Speegle Howard, and the younger brother of actor-director-producer Ron Howard. Clint Howard began his career when he was two, appearing in five episodes of the Andy Griffith Show. As he grew older, he appeared on various shows such as Breaking Point, The Fugitive, Gentle Ben, Night Gallery, various Star Trek episodes, Arrested Development, Seinfeld, and My Name is Earl.
In his film debut he appeared on The Courtship of Eddie's Father, and has since been in Grand Theft Auto, Cocoon, Gun Ho, Backdraft, Parenthood, The Waterboy, Austin Powers, and many more.
Howard is outspoken about his views of conservatism in Hollywood in the midst of much backlash and trepidation.

In the meantime Trump has the toughest lawman in the country supporting him.

Trump Cruz is only candidate we have running who's ever been a Democrat Canadian.
Ronald Reagan ran for President twice before he was elected. Back then Conservatives didn’t drink the kool-aid or jump on the cult of personality bandwagon.
Stop comparing Trump to Reagan; it’s sickening.
If he was Canadian, he wouldn’t be on the ballot.
Nice try, no cigar.
Odd how those Howard boys were as cute as bug’s ears when they were little shavers, but now they could make the blind flinch.
So are you saying Cruz has never been a Canadian?
If not, then why did he renounce his Canadian Citizenship?
WTF is a Clint Howard?
I don’t care. I’d gladly trade all of our U.S.-born liberals for conservative Canadians any day of the week.
Constitutionally, Cruz was a U.S. citizen at birth, so it is denying him his God-given constitutional rights if he’s not allowed to run for President. It is the right of all natural-born citizens like Cruz is to be able to run for President.
The Cruz people are drinking something alright - it’s purple, and it came from Jonestown
Reagan never had “New York values,” i.e. partial-birth abortion, single payer health care. Democrats were more conservative back in his day, when JFK was running on tax cuts.
Yes - I understand Cruz is a CANADAdate for POTUS!
“Stop comparing Trump to Reagan.”
No. I’ll keep comparing the two all I want to!
Better than a New Yorker with New York values where the pro-life and pro-gun and pro-marriage are not welcome. No matter what Trump says, people know what his values are at heart. That’s why self-described moderates in a new poll show they’re choosing Trump over Cruz by about 34 to 6.
Barney and Goober are for Jeb. ;-)
I don’t think there’s any connection there. But I believe he is a good friend of Hugh Hewitt, and often calls in to Hugh’s show.
No.
Very few babies are ugly. Ugly sets in slowly, earlier for some than others.
I think the Palin endorsement of Trump just destroyed Cruz’s campaign mojo. He’s looked shell shocked and has made surprisingly poor decisions since she did it.

As a non-Cruz supporter I have to say, I will hate Fox and their crack whore forever for that hideous piece of yellow journalism, even though my candidate benefits from it.
oh. you mean this guy? I think this clip kind of sums it up.
