Many public figures are endorsing their candidates for President<\/a>. In recent days Franklin Graham<\/a> has endorsed Donald Trump<\/a>, as has Chris Christie<\/a>. On February 16th, Allen West<\/a> posted an article<\/a> indicating the choice of Thomas Sowell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Thomas Sowell has been an intellectual giant in the conservative movement for decades. Despite rarely making appearances in the media, the economist and author has managed to become a household name<\/a> among conservatives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of the candidates currently running have received criticism from Sowell in prior columns, but none more than Donald Trump. Sowell\u2019s criticism was featured in National Review<\/a>\u2019s now-famous (or infamous) issue \u201cagainst Trump.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article further states:<\/p>\n

If the Republicans are to avoid having Donald Trump lead them \u2014 and the country \u2014 to disaster, they are going to have to have the majority of non-Trump supporters get behind some given candidate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Senator Ted Cruz<\/a> has been criticized in this column before, and will undoubtedly be criticized here again. But we can only make our choices among those actually available, and Senator Cruz is the one who comes to mind when depth and steadfastness come to mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald\u00a0 Trump has been accumulating celebrity endorsements at an impressive rate. It\u2019s about time someone received an endorsement from a different kind of \u201ccelebrity.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ted Cruz would be better for America than Donald Trump. I understand the anger of American<\/a> voters–I am angry too–but voting out of anger will not get us where we need to go. Donald Trump is an accomplished businessman, but that does not guarantee that he will be a good President. I honestly think that he would be a bad choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
