He has a bit less of an excuse than most analysts because had he stuck to just what he's known for and averaged the polls, he would've seen Trump winning.

The Endorsement Points thing was stupidly set up for even what it was alleged to do. For example Kasich had a lead over Trump because he got ten points from the Governor of Alabama, a guy facing possible impeachment the party wants to resign. Meanwhile Paul Ryan is just counted as a Representative Worth only one point, aka 1/10 of that guy. The 1/5/10 scoring made no sense. It also didn't count Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush once he dropped out at all for example
