Though Phil Robertson, patriarch of reality television's Duck Dynasty family, was initially a supporter of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), he says he's now totally onboard with Donald Trump. In an interview with Fox News, he even volunteered himself for a role in the Trump White House. "I can see it now: 'Trump wins,' and the camera is panning and his spiritual adviser is me," Robertson said. Specifically, Roberson says he can "help [Trump] along with concepts like loving your enemies, loving your God, loving your neighbor."
While Robertson admitted he was somewhat "forced into the Trump train," he says he knows Trump is still a better option than likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. "The people have said, 'We want Mr. Trump,'" Robertson said. "So Mr. Cruz goes down, I love him, but now I'm on the Trump train and I'll do everything I can to help him. Hey, we have to be loyal to the party."
