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 just provided you a string of troubling things about your boy Trump. Posts 66 through 69. And that’s just for starters!

Don’t have much time now as I’m getting ready to leave for the day. But I’ll ping you when I’m ready. How’s that sound?

Deal, I'll also be out for much of the day too but will circle back tonight.

Trump is troubling. Don't get me wrong, there.

Poor Huck is trying to be relevant when all he’ll ever be is a used car salesman. Aren’t there some murderers out there he can commiserate with?

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!


I saw that too and just started laughing....his supporters are so starry eyed that it’s funny or crazy.....they are just like trump.

I like Huckabee.

This is hardly surprising. He's one of the more intelligent of the RINO Establishment. Jumping on the Trump Bandwagon is their best option.

The GOPe has three options:
1. Back Trump.
2. Become Democrats.
3. Retire.

Congratulations Donald. You have fought hard and endured much. You now have the endorsements of 2 excellent state executives. They were your opponents, they are now your allies.

I am simultaneously cheering and cringing as you slash your way through the unholy dangerous landscape of modern American Politics.

It was not you Donald, who created this perverted quagmire that is the American Political System. It was created by the collusion and alliance of Big Media, the Uni-Party and Big Money influence.

You are assailing a world wide criminal enterprise. I wouldn't expect this to be anything but bloody and ugly. Thank you for standing up to these entrenched powers. They have no allegiance to the American middle class or Traditional American Values.

It left with their hatred for Christie and arrived with their hatred for Rush, Levin and anyone that critizes the Donald.

Now they hate Fox News and love MSNBC.

The pod people have taken over.

Swept aside like trash after a monsoon rain now that he backs their idol.

So you believe if a prior political opponent wants to throw their support behind you, you should tell them to take a hike? Is that what Ted Cruz would do? Hmm...maybe that's why he can't get a single senator to support him.

Yes, this election is all about doing what the media tells us.

So are you going to write in "JEB BUSH"?

Those of us remaining may be chased out of here soon. Or so the rumors have it.

Do tell. Or are you making spurious claims about Jim?

No, Huck lied about a lot of dumb things, like Hillary. Maybe deep down he has some problems. But he actually articulated (don’t have the quote handy) the other day what this election and the GOPe/Dem establishment are about. Right now, that puts him on my side. He’s a public figure who dares talk about the uniparty. I’m with him on this one.

Check his post history. He said we would not be welcome once Trump gets the nomination.

I for one Trump supporter never said any such thing. You are painting with a very broad brush. GO TRUMP GO

Where has all the freeper Huckabee hatred gone?

Huckabee is another one note candidate, relying almost entirely on the evangelical leg of the GOP base. I think he was soft on immigration too. But if he can help a strong patriotic candidate win his state I'll take it, and even forgive his earlier mistakes.

I wouldn't want him as a presidential candidate, but it seems he's not a total GOPe globalist shill after all.

The same goes for anyone who helps Trump. It only improves their standing with pro-American conservatives.

Voters are tired of pointless wars. If Trump can get along with Putin better than Obama can that will help him in the general election. I really don’t care what Putin does in crappy third world countries. I sure as hell don’t want to go to war over it.

(Sorry for the off topic, but that spamming by ETL needs some refutation)
