He did say a while ago that he’d make an “unconventional endorsement” before the SC primary, so I suppose he felt an obligation to come out with something.
Since I can’t imagine that any candidate would actually adopt a withdrawn candidate’s plan lock, stock, and barrel, I’d say this amounts to a nonendorsement.
I believe Herman stated he would make this announcement at the “Southern Republican Leadership Conference”. So check the date on that event.
My point is that he, or somebody, needs to remind the media that it is NOT the arbiter of what will be said or when.
The media has only 2 interests:
1- “Increase my ratings”
2- “Destroy any and everything positive in our culture”
