Video: Joe Arpaio Opens For Donald Trump At Mesa Rally--12/16/15
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is heading to Iowa to campaign on behalf of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, according toCNN and New York Times reports.
The Arizona sheriff has been a vocal opponent of the Obama administration for years and is known for his tough take on tackling crime and hardline stance on illegal immigration.
Arpaio will appear with Trump in Marshalltown, according to the Times, a month after appearing at a Trump rally in his home state.
Trump has made ending illegal immigration a focal point of his Republican presidential campaign, and is running neck-and-neck with Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) in Iowa ahead of ballots being cast Monday.
"I have great respect for Sheriff Arpaio. We must restore law and order and respect the men and women of our police forces. I thank him for his support of my policies and candidacy for President," Trump said in a statement published by the Times.
In another statement published by the newspaper, Arpaio praised Trump as a "leader" who "produces results and is ready to get tough in order to protect American jobs and families."
"I have fought on the front lines to prevent illegal immigration and I know Donald Trump will stand with me, and countless Americans, to secure our border. I am proud to support him as the best candidate for President of the United States of America," he added.
The sheriff challenged President Obama's executive actions on immigrations, but the Supreme Court recently rejected his appeal to hear his case.
The endorsement comes on the heels of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsing Trump last week and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr., endorsing him earlier Tuesday.
I couldn't agree more, it's no accident.
Some of us have been fighting the alien invasion for decades.
And in all that time, I can’t recall a single instance of Donald Trump *cough* lending a hand.
Well, until he decided he wanted to run from president as a Republican.
Same goes for the fight against abortion. And to defend marriage. And to rein in the courts. Etc...Etc...Etc...
We do know what he was doing during that time, though. He was funding our most potent Democrat opponents.
Gosh, some of you all seem to think political history didn’t begin until last summer.
Others might have different views, but I’m in this to defeat Mrs. Clinton or whatever other socialist the establishment throws at us.
I’m not as far gone as Ann Coulter, but I’ll support anyone except Bush or Christie.
>>IN other words,,not pure enough,meh.
In the mind of a Cruzy, a person’s ideological purity must exceed 110% or they are a closet liberal and probably a homosexual. Possibly even a pedophile or Jane Fonda fan. /s
Except Cruz himself via his spouse is affiliated with the vampire squid of crony capitalism, Goldman Sachs.
Yep, if Mrs. Bill Clinton becomes the next President we’re in really deep trouble.
Personally, I think making Hillary Clinton, or fear of her, into the plumb line, is a big, big mistake.

That’s kind of a non-issue for me. As you said, GS is the vampire squid. They have a tentacle in everything. My only concern about Cruz is is inability to actually do anything. He’s good at opposing and delaying, but he has no successes as a leader or legislator to his credit. I mean, captain of the debate team in college is the biggest resume-builder that his fan base can point to. Everything is “he supports”, “he believes”, “he opposes”. Where is the “he did”, “he accomplished”, “he overcame”???
She’s a socialist, so I’m making another episode of socialism into a big issue.
Not clear on what you are referring to. But the wheels on the bus go round and round....
This is how you get things done. I think folks are going to be equally surprised at how well Trump is able to forge a legislative consensus for his agenda starting next year.
Great news.
It’s looking more and more like the Democrats and the Republicans are going to both nominate a socialist.

Exactly. Where is the Senate Freedom Caucus organized and lead by Cruz? Cruz is a caucus of 1. That’s not how you advance a conservative agenda.
There's gonna be enough sour grapes on this thread to stock Donald's Virginia winery for the next 5 years.

Sigh.....

Thank you for clarification...I believe his brother is the pastor of the church the daddy started ...but there was an old country song bout the preacher and the bear and i digressed

Since he is strong against amnesty, I would not be surprised if now the same posters here who falsely claim to be conservatives (and who have been hysterically criticizing Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Palin and others opposed to illegals) will also start on him.
