You said -”What on earth makes you so certain of this?? Hunter may be a conservative, but he’s been in Washington long enough to have plenty of the politician in him. It’s a very strange choice of endorsement, especially since Huck hasn’t been doing so well and is out of money.”
My Reply - this is exactly why this endorsement was not based on politics. If Hunter wanted political favors he would have sold his endorsement to the candidate who could offer him the most. Someone like McCain or Romney who was likely to win and be able to offer him a place on the ticket or in the cabinet. Instead, he burned his bridges in order to support who shares his views on Life, China, the 2nd Amendment, protecting marriage, and is now running on stopping illegal immigration (though admittedly Huckabee’s record in this area is not great.)
