Andrew Breitbart endorsed Ted Cruz weeks before he died

Conservative icon Andrew Breitbart was a huge fan of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz. Just weeks before he met his untimely death in March 2012, Breitbart "told close friends and associates that Cruz represented conservatism’s future," as reported at Breitbart News.

Of front-runner Donald Trump, Breitbart said "of course" Trump is "not a conservative" and stated that unless conservatives "learn how to play the media," America will end up voting for "a celebrity candidate."

The Breitbart News article, written by Tony Lee, continues:

Quite penetrating, seeing that four years ago. Also quite a good call about playing the media.  From here, it is a huge question as to whether conservatives have learned that.

Brietbart was a smart man. Some might say too smart.

Yet he had something more. Like a gambler on a roll, sometimes he just knew things. That talent or instinct made him one of the finest investigative reporters certainly in my life time.

I miss him, a lot. Am pretty horrified at times at what his vision has become, too.
