Nebraska's Governor Ricketts endorses Trump after parents spent millions against him

Some of the Ricketts family in Nebraska spent millions to defeat Donald Trump. Now the most high profile Ricketts is endorsing him.

Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts on Friday put his support behind the presumptive Republican presidential nominee while appearing at a rally with him in Omaha, Nebraska.

"Politics is run by the people that show up ... By showing up today, you have demonstrated you want to chart a new course for our country," Ricketts told the crowd in his introductory remarks for Trump. He urged them to "get behind our nominee" to prevent likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton from winning the White House.

Each time another person endorses Trump the Bush and Romney clan look more and more petty

Ricketts deals with horrible uniparty scum every day.

I think the Trump’s wild claims were pretty generic about what secrets the Ricketts had, compared to what curious Trump might bring up about Cliton.

That is awesome. Wonder what is wrong with his folks?

Rickett’s parents (Chicago Cubs)spent $10 million or more to defeat DJT—

OPP Super PAC #NeverTrump run by former Romneybot- Katie Packer.

They are the ones responsible for targeting the DELEGATES to flip to Cruz.

Seems so illegal and immoral.

The Rickett’s are also Paul Ryan’s best buddies. They hosted his leadership team fundraiser last month in NYC.

I did not want Trump to be nominated either but that fight is over now and Trump won it.

All Republicans should support the nominee, the alternative is the rectal cancer known as Hillary Rodham Delano Roosevelt Marx Lenin Stalin Castro Jenner Lohan O’Donnell Lannister Targaryen Von Clinton aka The Crypt Keeper Aka Cankles the Clown.

You know, I make movies-—good patriotic, high-quality family movies (Breitbart: politics follows culture). It tears me up to think what I could do to reshape culture with $10 million.

Pete can hear the footsteps and doesn’t want to get stepped on by Trump.
