Insiders have broken the news, Trump will be getting the endorsement from governor Mike Huckabee in Arkansas Shortly before the Arkansas Caucus.

This comes after Huck's daughter endorsed Trump

Donald Trump announced Thursday that Mike Huckabee's daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is joining his campaign.

"I have great respect for Governor Mike Huckabee and we have a mutual admiration for our wonderful families. It is great to have his daughter, Sarah, join the campaign," Trump said in a statement.

"What makes Mr. Trump my choice for president is he will break the grip of the donor class on our government and make it accountable to working families again," said Sanders, who is joining Trump's team as a senior advisor.

Sanders' father, the former Arkansas Governor, was previously Trump's rival for the Republican nomination and dropped out of the raceimmediately after the Iowa caucus results rolled in. Huckabee, who ran for president in 2008 as well and won the Iowa caucus that year, has yet to endorse someone in the race. The announcement could be a hint that he'll throw his weight behind Trump.

ENTONVILLE (KFSM) -- The Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport outlined some guidelines ahead of Donald Trump's airport rally on Saturday (Feb. 27).

Airport officials are anticipating nearly 8,500 will be heading to hear the presidential hopeful speak at XNA. Although the event is free, people will still need tickets to attend the event, which can be found here.

With such a large crowd expected, airport officials said the rally will be held at the Regional Jet Center Hanger, instead of the terminal.

People will be standing on concrete outside, so XNA director Kelly Johnson is encouraging visitors to come prepared.

"There's not going to be any seating, so think about that when you dress to come out to the event," she said.

Everyone will need to pass through security before the event. Screening will begin at 9 a.m.

"There will be seven stations set up and you'll go through a metal detector," Johnson said. "Don't bring bottles of water, don't bring your pocket knife don't bring a lawn chair. That's not going to be allowed."

Limited parking will be available, so carpooling is encouraged. Parking will be directed to Lot 1 first, followed by Lot 2. After both of those are filled, drivers will be directed to Overflow Lot 3.

"We've got three fields set up there so you will be parking in the field," Johnson said. "It's not a great place to try to park thousands of people. Carpool if you can because once the parking is gone, it is gone."

All passengers with Saturday morning flights are encouraged to arrive two hours before their flights are scheduled to depart.

"There are only about 700 people traveling until noon, so we encourage those folks to please look at your travel plans and adjust your drive time in the event that we do have a back up," Johnson said. "We saw that happen the last time we did one of these, with Bush."

The rally is expected to last an hour.

I am sick and tired of you and others getting away with your ugly name calling!
‘Trump supporting clowns’

People probably don’t post because they have to wade through junk like yours!

ahhh a pro-amnesty guy for trump...

huckster-

I tend to think that the rational approach is to find a way to give people a pathway to citizenship. You shouldn’t ignore the law or ignore those who break it. But by the same token, I think it’s a little disingenuous when I hear people say they should experience the full weight of the law in every respect with no pathway, because that’s not something we practice in any other area of criminal justice in this country…. To think that we’re going to go lock up 12 million people, or even round them up and drive them to the border and let them go, might make a great political speech, but it’s not going to happen.

I figured this.

Ark is one state Trump is not up all that much. The Huckster endorsement before the primary Tuesday would be expected to give him a bump.

Trump sure gets the winners to endorse him.

Huck and Krispy Kreme. Long time Free Republic favorites.

Even Rudy Giuliani is being rehabilitated now that he is in Trump’s kitchen cabinet.

Are you glad because Sir Lard Huckabee isn't Cruzing? Is that what you're saying?

Are you sad because Sir Lard Huckabee - Kim Davis media catalyst - is going to deliver Ky caucuses for Trump, when Cruz could have won them easily if he had been there witnessing for a woman imprisoned for her public confession of her Christian conscience? Tea Partier Matt Bevin was there at Sir Lard's side, then two months later crushed Jack Conway 53-44 for Governor.

Are you mad because the lazy MSM is going to lead Tuesday's run-up news cycle with free media parlaying Trump's Ky caucus win Monday night into the "Super Inevitability Trump Tuesday"?

Poor Ted. Maybe Elmer Gantry will get a booby prize at the end of all this, like AfPak Czar or Asian Carp Czar...

How is that different from what Trump said in 2012?

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3402837/posts

Trump: ...for people that have been here for years that have, y’know, been hard workers, have good jobs, are supporting a family, it’s very, very tough to just say, by the way, y’know, 22 years, you’re getting, you have to leave, get out!

I’m one of the world’s very conservative people but I have to tell you, on a human basis, how do you throw somebody out that’s lived in this country for 20 years?

We have to show some compassion. We just can’t throw everybody out.

You’re insane. Huckabee and Cruz helped get her out of jail early. And Davis supported them, appeared on stage and was in tears of joy to get the support.

Her JAILING was a liberal political stunt of the sleaziest kind. Thank God two politicians had the guts to defend her and support her with everything they could do.

Cruz was there on good faith to show support, but the Huckster squeezed him off the stage so he wouldn't have to share the limelight for his own political gain.

Cruz graciously agreed, but it sealed the deal as far as what this inbred Huckster would do for a vote. What a low life.

You’re right, I forgot that Huckabee blocked Cruz from the stage.

If you check Real Clear Politics, you will find Huckabee more conservative than most.

trump is implementing the art of the deal to those on the Right. Once he gets elected trump will do what he really wants. Its how trump operated with banks. Making them promises getting their money not doing what he promised then going bankrupt.
