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 would not recognize either of them and barely recall what they stood for.
He was right to stand with Kim Davis. He is wrong to endorse Trump.
I merely asked a question. Answer it or don’t.
BTW, Trump was against Kim. He thought she should lose her job or violate her conscience.
Does this mean Huckabee now supports border security or does he think Trump is lying?
Interesting. I didn't know that. Would any of Trump's supporters like to respond to that one? Or is it going to be another ,"we don't care, he'll build a wall" answer.
That's not my point. He was wrong to use her for political gain, in what turned out to be a "photo-op" side show for his political campaign. He should have asked all the other candidates to join him on stage for solidarity. Instead he did the opposite.
Trump was wrong about Kim Davis and also Pamela Gellar.
I wish there was a perfect candidate that we all could
agree on.
Not really. It is a political issue. Politicians must make their positions clear.
He was right to stand with Kim. Those are precisely the times when politicians should stand along side citizens and show their support. As for gain, it was gain in the eyes of some and loss in the eyes of others. No matter. It is vital that each candidate stand up and make their positions clear.
Weird that he would do that and they endorse the anti-side by endorsing Trump.
“I’m kind of forgiving Huck. I’ve been very harsh on him and called him a liar all the time. But somehow he gets it, what this election is about.”
********************************************************************************
Yes, all of the Hucksters many sins have been washed away from his soiled soul making him as pure as fresh snow. His newfound faith in Donald Trump (Let us Praise Him) have resulted in his being rewarded by Trump’s (Peace be upon Him) forgiveness of all his sins. He will now become one of the Donald’s (Praise Him!) beloved apostles.
Let us spread this joy throughout the land so ALL may rejoice and marvel at these miracles.
THIS IS YUUUUGE!

Jindal endorsed Rubio
Pitaki -> Rubio
Graham -> Jeb
Perry -> Cruz
I don’t think anyone hates Huck. Some of us disagreed with some of his “get along” positions and saw him as a lightweight.
Yeah.
Remember 2008?
It was hate. It was full out mockery and scorn. It is all in the archives.
BUMP
Some are still here and some post ironic posts that go over the low brows of trumpeters.
That can’t be. You are a liar liar pants on fire as only ted cruz does dirty tricks. My friend donald told me so and i think what HE says!!!! You are a meanie smelly poopie head who has the cooties too!!!!
My point....I never thought Huckabee was one of the monsters of the Republican Party, and they sure have been eager through they years to marginalize him.
And he's been invisible since Marco's campaign went over-the-top.
