When I saw this I knew I had to broadcast it!
Duck Dynasty’s popular son Willie Robertson was in Las Vegas last night and joined Donald Trump during one of his campaign rallies… but not as a spectator! Robertson publicly endorsed Trump for the GOP nomination – which makes this a great week for the front-runner. Trump had already received the endorsement of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and last night, poll numbers showed Trump breaking away from Ted Cruz in Iowa. This was huge!
From newsninja2012.com:
“Mr. Trump is a real leader,” Robertson said of the real-estate mogul. “He represents success and strength, two attributes our country needs. Like me, he is a successful businessman and family man and I endorse his candidacy for President of the United States.”
“I am truly honored to receive Willie’s endorsement,” Trump said in response to the endorsement. “He is a great person, has had tremendous success and a really terrific family. He believes in my message and knows that I am the only one who will Make America Great Again!”
Check out how Trump supporters loved the announcement:
@williebosshog thank you for standing up once again. Haters will hate. Hispanic here and I support him 100%

Willie Robertson endorses @realDonaldTrump and Phil Robertson endorses @tedCruz. Willie Robertson made the better choice

@williebosshog good choice on supporting Donald Trump. He is what this country needs. Too many people have been fed lies about him.

Nat’l Review, et al publish anti-Trump issue; Willie Robertson endorses him. Five bucks says the latter helps more than the former hurts.

But then you had the Cruz supporters and conservatives who thought the endorsement was in bad form. Check out their responses:
@pnwnd @williebosshog what can you expect from that family lmao
— Connor (@ConnorYRN) January 22, 2016
@williebosshog Wow. You would really compromise the leader of the free world for an unqualified businessman? Last time I watch your show.

@williebosshog @realDonaldTrump lol. You claim to be Christian and you support trump. What a joke. Total fake.

@williebosshog @VanBradeen by hiring a gross pig to embarrass the country – thought you had more sense than this

And there were many more so you get the idea. I am all for fairness in an election among the GOP candidates. What the mainstream conservatives are doing now is trying to thwart Trump, and it’s making him more popular. Actually I am loving it. I think it’s a great win for Trump – and good luck in Iowa.
