[Landslide Lyndon]

Harkin endorses Clinton:

More proof of establishment panic over her candidacy.

Iowa House Speaker Paulsen endorsed Christie.

What a waste of an endorsement.

Trump for President has endorsements from the rapist Mike Tyson, the white supremacist David Duke, the treasonous Dennis Rodman, and the bigot Ann Coulter.

Jeb is no slouch on that front. He has been endorsed by a war criminal: his brother.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Hints that Walker may endorse Rubio soon, dare I say at Rubio's upcoming Milwaukee rally.

Have these two developed some kind of friendship during the campaign or is it just the Kochs trying (again) to impose their preferred candidate?

[Landslide Lyndon]

So far Hillary has got the endorsement of over half the Dem govs.

The remaining govs to endorse are...
Steve Beshear - Kentucky
Jerry Brown - California
Kate Brown - Oregon
Steve Bullock - Montana
Mark Dayton - Minnesota
David Ige - Hawaii
Jay Inslee - Washington
Earl Ray Tomblin - West Virginia

Tomblin probably wont endorse anyone. Beshear may not endorse anyone while he is still in office. 

Neither will Bullock.

Rep. Kristi Noem (R-SD) endorses Rubio.

Another Congressional endorsement for Rubio with Mike Pompeo.

I see the Republican establishment has abandoned any pretense of subtlety.
For better or worse though these endorsements won't move any actual votes.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Bob Dole endorses Jeb.

Now that's an endorsement that will bring excitement and passion about Jeb's candidacy.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Vander Plaats endorses Cruz.

This could be big news for Ted.  We shall see.

You betcha! Van der Plaats is THE kingmaker of Iowa caucuses. He almost singlehandedly led Huckabee and Santorum from second tier irrelevancy to victory.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Gramm endorses Rubio.

Assume you are referring to former TX Senator Phil Gramm.
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/phil-gramm-marco-rubio-217242

The old-school TX establishment definitely is not a fan of Cruz

Although to be fair, Gramm was as much of a dystopian dick as Cruz back in the day.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Chaffetz for Rubio.

I thought he had endorsed Rubio before Christmas.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Why didn't Portman do this six months ago?

Because six months ago Jeb was still a viable candidate.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ-08) endorses Huckabee

WTF?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Lucy Flores for Bernie Sanders.

I wasn't expecting that.

I kind of expected some 3rd place in a congressional primary candidate to endorse Bernie. I remember some people hyped up Nina Turner flip to Bernie, famous for her 24 point loss to a Republican, as a major endorsement as well.

Yeah, Flores' campaign is a total failure and her political career, after her 2014 shellacking, is basically over. This is a desperate move to drum up some publicity and raise some money.

It depends. Is she a superdelegate?

Of course not, only elected officials are.

So are DNC members, leaders, and past leaders (DNC heads and things like that).

Yes, I was just pointing out that congressional candidates are not.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Seriously, this is the third thread about this endorsement.

Mods, please?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Left-wing black leader and tenant-rights activist Jimmy McMillan endorses TRUMP

YUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!

[Landslide Lyndon]

Sen. Toomey (R-PA) to endorse Rubio.

Congratulations Phil! (i think?)

Yeah, after Walker dropping out Phil was supporting Rubio.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Congressmen Womack and Crawford endorsing Rubio.

Do you bother to read other people's posts kiddo?

Rubio gains Arkansas endorsements: Lt. Gov Tim Griffin and congressmen Steve Womack and Rick Crawford.

[Landslide Lyndon]

It's almost comical that all these people had an epiphany about what a great candidate Rubio is.

[Landslide Lyndon]

It's sad all these efforts by the establishment to resurrect Rubio's candidacy.
It's like when a dog's master dies and he refuses to abandon his body.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Mark Sanford for Cruz.

[Landslide Lyndon]

How stupid will all these people look if TRUMP gets almost 50% Tuesday night?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Tom Ridge who has endorsed Jeb has now switched to Kasich.

[Landslide Lyndon]

FL State Sen. Tom Lee endorses Rubio

GAME CHANGER!!!

[Landslide Lyndon]

How many Democratic senators are left who have *not* endorsed Clinton?

Reid, Wyden, Warren, Tester, Menendez.
Have I forgotten anyone?
