"As with Palin, whose former aide, Michael Glassner, serves as Trump's political director, Trump is also connected to McMaster through a staff member: Trump's South Carolina political director, Jeff Taillon, who served as McMaster's campaign manager during his successful 2014 bid for lieutenant governor."

Is Trump buying endorsements? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Progressive]

Is the establishment turning to Trump?

Good catch!  Thanks.

Meh, Schultz may not have put out a press release overtly saying "I endorse Clinton", but unless you've been living under a rock for the last 10 months, it's pretty clear she supports Clinton.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious.  Her and a lot of other DNC higher ups are differing degrees of officially neutral, at least for appearances' sake.  See also DNC Treasurer Andrew Tobias, who did extensive, extensive fundraising for Ready For Hillary (not to mention the debt-ridden aftermath of her 2008 bid), but has been officially neutral since Hillary entered the race.

A couple new endorsements over the weekend for Clinton:  Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Rep. Al Green of Texas.

Sanders also picked up two superdelegate endorsements in the Appalachians: Jake Quinn (from Asheville, NC) and WV Democratic Vice Chair Chris Regan.  This brings Sanders' total up to 13, versus Clinton's 396.

UPDATE: Rep. Chaka Fattah (PA), currently under indictment, for Clinton.

Grassley for Paul!

Grassley for Paul!

Too bad it could not have come a few days earlier.

Grassley for Paul!

Oh my god...

Anyway, too little, too late.

[IceSpear]

Lol, what is the point of that endorsement? It's way too late to mean anything. Grassley is either an idiot or a coward.

[Classic Conservative]

Well Grassely said a couple days ago that he was voting for Cruz and a few days before that for Trump and today Huckabee

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

I wouldn't call him left-wing.  He's considered running as a Republican in the past.  He's more of a populist than anything else.
