Jeb Bush already has the endorsements of 100% of all living Republican former presidents.  Hillary Clinton has the endorsements of 50% of all living Democratic former presidents so far.

Giuliani is "cozying up" to team Kasich, but it's unclear if there's going to be an endorsement soon:

Bush announces some new Florida endorsements:

Every speaker of the Florida house from the past 20 years who is not named Marco Rubio has endorsed Bush.

Let's dispel with this fiction that primary endorsements matter

I don't think they matter much in terms of who people decide to vote for.  I think it's more relevant in terms of using the state party machinery to get people to the polls.  As I noted here:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=229401.msg4918588#msg4918588

in 2008, Charlie Crist put his Florida party machine to work for McCain, who was being outspent by Romney.  Did Rubio, before today, have a comparatively weak South Carolina operation?  If so, is Haley now going to help him out in that regard, but putting her people to work for him?

What's the over/under on the number of endorsements from sitting governors and members of Congress that Rubio will get within the next week?

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

How do these people feel after seeing the guy they endorsed being utterly obliterated by TRUMP in their own backyard?

He didn't really endorse Rubio as such.  He just said he voted for Rubio, but that he didn't classify it as an "endorsement".  I have no idea how that makes any sense, but I guess if it's primary/caucus day in your state, and you haven't endorsed anyone yet, what do you do?  Refuse to vote?  Vote, but then insist to the media that you're not going to tell them who you voted for?

Rumour that Carson will endorse TRUMP at 11:30AM EST today.

As long as he doesn't have a Christie-esque hostage video expression on his face while he does it.

All right.  Unstickying this.  People can feel free to keep updating it if they like, but doesn't make much sense to keep it stickied anymore.
