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. I’ll 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 Cruz’s failure than to hop aboard the Trump train, the new political home of America’s 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.

Yep - it's a terrible thing when one backs a candidate who wants to make the government money dispensers accountable to the working stiff.....oh....wait.....
You don’t understand politics ...
I understand how liberals act and trump acts like a liberal
Trump IS the donor class.
And there are a lot of donors more conservative than Trump. The ones who openly backed Gingrich and Santorum last time for instance.
The idea that anyone expects a billionaire to represent “working families” is ludicrous.
Well, at least it isn’t his dog abusing son.
What do you mean “acts like a liberal” ? ...explain and embarrass yourself
really, you need it explained ok trump praises pelosi schumer trump praises making deals trump praises plannedparenthood trump attacks Cruz for opposing liberals trump doesn’t talk about making govt smaller infact trump wants more govt by increasing ethanol subsidies trump doesn’t speak of shutting down govt agencies and then there’s trump leftwing donations
Additionally it is ridiculous to expect him to piss off the elite that fill his hotels, casinos and golf courses.
Trump has admitted that he has donated to politicians in both parties ....it’s no secret and that’s how the game is played ... on the flip side, he refuses to be corrupted by them by taking their money ...nice try though
so he corrupted politicians by his donations. Trump played the game for decades. Didn’t fight the system. What makes that history so admirable? It shows trump isn’t a fighter.
It shows he was smart ...you can’t go up against it as donor , you play it ... now he is a candidate and is destroying it ...you should like this , or do you love the status quo ?
trump enabled the status quo which is why he doesn’t have my support
Well now he is tearing it down ... is that not good enough for you ? ... every other candidate is part of the status quo ...
how is trump tearing down the status quo when he praises his ability to make deals with the politicians who want to keep the status quo????
at least Cruz is hated by the establishment. Thats what I consider a positive
Cruz is owned by the estab ... Levin and Beck are proof of that, as they are the so-called Conservative Faction of the estab ... they are open-borders and pro conflict with Russia
Levin and Beck aren’t the establishment and Cruz isn’t owned by the establishment. Cruz isn’t for open borders and never joined the gang of 8 never said amensty agitators convinced convinced him to support amnsety like trump. infact trump wants to give the good illegals amnesty.
and now you mention russia. you’re desperate.
The wife, the daughter, the dog ...
Cruz supported TPA ,TPP, H1B visas, and has also thrown in for conflict with Russia ...you can’t deny the truth ...Levin and Beck wouldn’t be supporting him if he wasn’t for these issues ...
Cruz has been criticized by Levin for tpa and h1b and on both Cruz has evolved just like trump has evolved on being a NY lefty who supported bill clinton.
As for russia, you’re desperate.
However trump did advocate going to war in libya and dismissed hitlery’s incompetence on benghazi
