2016 Primary Endorsements megathread.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

So do we prefer the politician who is open about his views even when they're unpopular or the politician who chooses what she does and doesn't say based off of whether doing so is politically advantageous?

Do you understand the notion that Cabinet Secretaries, especially the Secretary of State, are not supposed to weigh in with their own opinions on domestic policy issues?

This, and for the "well she could have said it in '08" crowd, keep in mind that a gay marriage ban passed in CALIFORNIA that year despite Obama winning the state 61-37. Endorsing gay marriage was akin to political suicide in '08.

Cruz Spokesman Rick Tyler just stated on the Kelly File that they have a bunch of big endorsements coming out soon.

Hoping Stutzman is one of them.

I doubt he will endorse while he is in his own primary. I doubt he wants to tick off anybody as Todd Young is the favorite and it will take a lot for Stutzman to beat him.

Lucy Flores for Bernie Sanders.

I wasn't expecting that.

[Maxwell]

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.

Is this an organization that Trump created to endorse him?

[Mike Thick]

It's possible someone posted this and I didn't see it, but Willie (not Phil) Robertson endorsed Trump last night.

Their blog's been around since 2009, so probably not.

The black community's love, admiration, and affection for Donald J. Trump seems as strong as ever.

How influential will this endorsement be to the dozens of black Republican primary voters nationwide?

Not at all. They're all in the NBRA, so they must support him anyway.

[DrScholl]

Well, that's five votes in the can for Trump.

Last I checked, Stutzman is the favorite.
