Duck Commander says Cruz is "the man for the job"

HOUSTON, Texas - Today, the Cruz for President campaign announced the endorsement of Phil Robertson, a professional hunter, businessman, Christian minister, and reality television star on the popular television series Duck Dynasty. Robertson believes Ted Cruz is the man for the job.

“My qualifications for President of the United States are rather narrow: Is he or she Godly, does he or she love us, can he or she do the job, and finally would they kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo?,” Robertson said. “[Cruz] fits the bill."

Robertson attended Louisiana Tech University, where he played football and received a master’s degree in education and spent several years teaching. However, his true passion was hunting, fishing and duck calling. Robertson started a commercial fishing company, which he expanded into a duck calling business that launched the family into success.

"I am thrilled to have Phil's support for our campaign," said Cruz. "The Robertson's are a strong family of great Christian faith and conservative values. Phil's story of starting off with something small and working hard to achieve the American dream is inspiring. Much like my parents, and many other Americans, who started a small business and worked hard to provide for our family. If we as conservatives come together in 2016 and fight for the values that have made this country exceptional, we will win the White House and turn this country around."

PHIL ROBERTSON: My qualifications for President of the United States are rather narrow. Is he or she Godly, does he or she love us, can he or she do the job, and finally would they kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo? I’ve looked at the candidates, Ted Cruz is my man. He fits the bill. He’s Godly, he loves us, he’s the man for the job, and he will go duck hunting because today we’re going.

Ted Cruz is my man, I’m voting for him.

Cruz the reason we’re going to vote for you, all of us, is because you‘re one of us my man.

TED CRUZ: Thank you.

ROBERTSON: That’s why we’re voting for you.

It’s now or never.

Praying much and sending as many donations as I can to CRUZ.. time for another donation.

So, now you’re a “go along to get along” kind of guy? I thought we were through with that?
____________

Was Reagan a go along get along guy? NO. But Reagan was wise enough to know that you have to be able to sit down with folks to get anything done.

There is only three ways to get things done in Washington:

1. Sit down with other politicians to make deals
2. Behave like Obama, executive fiat
3. Utilize the media to get people on their side (Bully Pulpit).

A Trump presidency will use all the arrows in his quiver, like Reagan did. Cruz has fewer arrows at his disposal. He has not been ineffective thus far with #1 or #3. Obama has used #2 & #3.

We'll see soon, won't we?

Indeed; buckle-up!

[Hot Tabasco]

there are a few more steps in the process, such as, gutting the duck and plucking it, B4 it gets into the pot, in all due respect, neither chore, could I imagine DT doing.

That's why Trump has staff..........

Stop being snarky.......

[Hot Tabasco]

Great commercial, I liked it..........With that being said, I love both Trump and Cruz and will defend each of them from the biased purists who want to take either of them down...........

[Hot Tabasco]

Unless these old eyes are deceiving me, your picture doesn’t go with your quote. I believe those are ring neck pheasants.

Yes they are and lucky him! I wish I could have been so successful on my trips to NW Kansas........

I am actually encouraged to see so many Cruz supporters speaking up on this thread. Some of the Trump supporters are so vocal that I have been feeling seriously outnumbered on this forum lately.

To the right of the GQ and Fortune magazine covers, is that Reagan DJT's shaking hands with? Focus is not real clear even when zooming in but based on build and color and suit is about right for RR...

Yes, it is. Shows a lot about who Trump admires.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I love it. That’s great.

[Daffynition]

Well ...if he deserves the Robertson endorsement ...but not until he can sit for hours, in a stinky, damp duck blind/boat, chasing out the water snakes; learn to use a duck call, call in your dog, and keep your ammo dry ...I'll consider the worthiness of the endorsement. ;)

Willie was at a Trump rally. He was on the stage and said “I want me some Trump “ or something to that effect.

Willie was at a Trump rally. He was on the stage and said “I want me some Trump “ or something to that effect.

---

He endorsed Jindal, introduced Trump with the “I like me some Trump” comment and the next day said he hadn’t endorsed him, just introduced him since he went to the rally to check him out.

Phil’s comment at the end of the ad implies that the entire clan, Willie included, are endorsing Cruz.

[WENDLE]

oops. big mistake duck man

[reegs]

[Theodore R.]

Has Nancy Reagan endorsed yet? Who do you think would be her choice?

[YankeeinOkieville]

Thanks for the close-up. That and other things on display in that original photo make me a little more comfortable with him, given he wasn’t running for president at that time.

[GailA]

Need to get your facts straight.

Willie Robertson does NOT support Trump.

Thanks for the answer to my question and the link.

[GailA]

I’ve been wrong myself. You can’t judge a person by their looks.

This homeless man took great care of 31 dogs until he became ill, and had to surrender them.
