I wonder if any surprise guests will show up to endorse him.
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 [Sarah Huckabee] Sanders, who is joining Trumps team as a senior advisor. Huckabee endorsing Trump now makes sense. He was probably torn between Trump, the blue-collar hero, and Rubio, the true-blue evangelical who backed Huck for president in 2008 as a state legislator. Maybe he held off for a month to see how things would shake out, determined to hitch his wagon to whichever of them looked poised to win on Super Tuesday or, more specifically, which of them looked like more likely to damage Ted Cruz, whom Huckabee obviously resents for having won all the influential evangelical endorsements last year that Huck was hoping to claim. That answer is now clear. Iâll bet
Huckabee is relishing the exit polls showing Trump winning a bigger share of the evangelical vote than the supposed pretender whom people like Bob Vander Plaats and James Dobson preferred to Huckabee himself. What better way to grind their faces in Cruzâs failure than to hop aboard the Trump train, the new political home of Americaâs values voters. There are bound to be some evangelicals out there still trying to decide between Trump, Cruz, and Rubio. Huckabee helps Trump with them.

the first sentence, “I wonder if any surprise guests will show up to endorse him” reminds me of something I heard this morning that one each from CA and NY were quietly significant, the goad coasts... and more trying to join in... interesting....
Please someone help me show my mom the transformation gif or whatever it is that sometimes we see here. I told her about it, how incredibly well done but have not been able to find it ever again. Clear FRiends, where can I find that again??
What the heck would a bi-sexual woman see in Hubbell ?????
And now he is destroying them ..your point ?
Maybe she wanted a child. It was widely said way back when that Bill shoots blanks.
Good point .. but it’s still funny and maybe true
“Huckabee is pretty savvy.”
Huckabee is neither pretty nor savvy.
Supporting Trump is not the same as hating Cruz.
I support Cruz, but am open to Trump.
But disgusting nasty Trump supporters like you, make Trump look bad.
Do Trump a favor and quit openly supporting him. It will make it that much easier for the rest of us to get behind him if he wins.
Huckabee is not asset for Trump. Trump needs to distance himself from him. He’s toxic.
“Is Hukkabee the one who stood for Kim Davis, and kinda shoved Cruz aside?
Yeah. He’s the one.
His personal envy and jealousy toward Cruz has been so thick it oozed from his sweaty forehead, and the stench of it could be smelled across the country.
Failed preacher who entered politics and refused to accept blame for his stupid pardons and commutations that led to multiple murders and rapes being committed by those who were released early under his watch.
But he could not stand the idea of another Evangelical running for the White House. All those Evangelical votes were supposed to be his. Now he is just glad that Cruz didn’t get them all because apparently Trump is so much more of an Evangelical Christian than Cruz.
The political landscape in America will be better without Huckabee in it.
And just to be clear, I was pretty interested in Huckabee as a potentially great President when he first entered the arena years ago. But it is his own stubborn pride and selfishness that have earned him complete disdain. And the incident you mentioned was a crowning blow.
“NOOOO”
I love the slippery slope. By tomorrow, you be belching “achtung”.
More Establishment types joining Trump.
And now he is destroying them ..your point ?
trump’s negatives are over 40%. Trump may win the primaries then alienate Conservatives with his alinsky tactics. Then what he’s gonna do after turning off 60% of Conservative voters...go back to being a leftist
Trump’s negatives increase daily.
I hope it hasn’t happened too late to keep him from the nomination.
Wishful thinking on your part ...that’s what Romney did ...Trump will pull the blue collar working class from both parties , the vast majority of Conservatives , and even some pro-Labor Libs ...it’s a grand coalition in the making ... I know that disappoints you , as you want to lose with an ideologically pure pseudo-Conservative ...
Tit for tat. I would never have considered Trump as a viable candidate, and never posted anything about him until all the Cruz thugs that beat up on anyone that tried to say a kind word about Trump.
I think Trump has lost every debate by a big margin and tonight was probably his best performance which he also lost, but you might notice that he is over 60% on Drudge.
I didn't pick him the people have so either get on board or let it go because no one wins when we beat each other like a dead horse.
Not everyone agrees with you. I like Huckabee and respect
his input.

polling data isn’t wishes. Trump’s negatives are high. His nasty attacks on Conservatives won’t make them vote for him.
Being a Conservative is the only way to win big. Trump’s big govt liberalism will result in enough Conservatives staying at home. History repeating itself. Liberal repubs loose.
Trumpâs negatives increase daily.
I hope it hasnât happened too late to keep him from the nomination.
trump lives in an echo chamber of yes men. you think he’ll listen if a brave some one tells him to lay off the nasty attacks and stay on policy?????
