With Iowa edging ever closer, the Republican field is clamoring to pick up a diverse set of endorsements to solidify their support among a broad set of voting conservatives.
Donald Trump — for his part — may be picking up more high-profile endorsements than any other in the GOP field, but they’re not coming from the establishment.
After picking up an endorsement from Sarah Palin just last week, Donald Trump has received nods from two more non-politician stars, Sheriff Joe Apaio and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr.
Both pickups serve key aspects of Donald Trump’s candidacy. Sheriff Joe has become a rock star to many for his high-profile fight against illegal immigration, and Falwell helps shore up Trump’s perceived shakiness amongst evangelical Christians.
With both endorsements under his belt, Trump’s primary success — once thought impossible — is looking more and more plausible by the day. Likely, even.
See the next page for both men’s endorsement of Trump:
Yep that Palin endorsement really helped him drop down to #2. Like Trump said no one remembers the guy that came in 2nd. Loser.
The Palin endorsement is a bit embarrassing.
I didn’t read this but I’m assuming since it was Palin last week it must be Elmer Fudd this week?
Darrin, great question! Trump has run a very nasty negative campaign so far. And, yes, very divisive. Just read comments on social media. Trumpies are very much “we’re right and all others are wrong” types. Attack and insult anyone that questions Der Fuhrer.
Exactly, Joe has never met a camera he didn’t like (can you say Trump) and has been the subject of countless criminal and civil cases. And Falwell who is struggling to remain relevant in his fathers footsteps.
Maybe just maybe he can do the US good the last two or three haven’t with the right cabinet he could be great, the alternative on some of the others could be another 4_8 years of same ole$#%&!@*
He’s the Republican version of obama
Endorsements dont mean c**p to me. If he gets the nomination I will vote for him. The other side (both of them) scare the living c**p out of me.
Barb Hansen when people speak the truth , they are whining. But when they lie and cheat American voters , they are over looked. Exactly what’s wrong with America.
I spoke at at caucus in Iowa for Ted Cruz…the dpeak right before me spoke for Ben Carson! I viewed on local programs other caucuses in our state Ben Carson had speakers! So it’s a blantent smear campaign tantrump lie!!!
