Lorretta Lynn endorses Trump

http://theboot.com/merle-haggard-loretta-lynn-kid-rock-thoughts-on-donald-trump/

"The country icon publicly supported Trump at the end of each of her shows and declared her support at an awards dinner in December — and she says that her fans have been supportive as well.
“When you get up there and try to say you want to see Hillary Clinton win,” Lynn explains, “that wouldn’t go over so big.”

Never forget, a decade before anyone knew who Lorretta was, Peggy Lee was producing her own albums and shows.

With entertainers, you never know if supporting a candidate is their personal choice or given for the sake of the audience. I knew a guy who praised Sarah Palin during and long after 2008 and he always got cheers. He used to just end his show with "God Bless America" and morphed into more or less promoting Palin.
