“I expect the NRA and NRTL to endorse Huckabilly too.”
The NRA won’t endorse a candidate in the primaries. I heard the NRTL dude say today on a Christian talk radio program that the NRTL was not endorsing anyone else at this time. After they picked Fred and he dropped out, it put some egg on their face. I doubt they will endorse again. So, even though I support Huckabee, I do not expect him to be endorsed by the NRA or NRTL.
Additionally, I also don’t expect Fred to endorse any candidate, especially not Mike. However, wouldn’t that be funny if he did? Boy, some heads here would really explode. However, that has a non-existant probability.
IMO the only thing that stopped them was Huck, Fred, and Hunter were all still in and had good records on guns.
Huck is all thats left and they will give him a boost now if they can.
