Don't know if you're going this low on the totem pole for the endorsement list, but SC State Sen. Greg Gregory will be voting for Johnson.

Wouldn't be surprised if Chris Gibson (veteran, moderate, not running for re-election, represents a fairly cosmopolitan district, has openly criticized Trump and never officially endorsed) followed Hanna's lead on this before long.

Not sure whether any other NY Republicans would be interested, as Stefanik is probably the only one who represents a district where it would go over well, and she has already openly endorsed Trump for the sake of her party leadership ambitions.
Could she lose Averroes?
The Green Party candidate will pull 15%, the Democrat is an uncharismatic dud of a candidate who's attracting barely any attention, who's being run seemingly exclusively because he had a military background (he has never run for elected office before). Stefanik has all of the local business, media, political, and non-profit elites firmly in her corner as well. Sadly, not likely.
15% Surprise

Really???

Funiciello pulled >10% in NY-21 in 2014, one of the best performances of any third-party candidate for Congress. Stefanik could win the district with as little as 40% of the vote this year.

96k votes (53%) - Elise Stefanik (R)
59k votes (33%) - Aaron Woolf (D)
19k votes (11%) - Matt Funiciello (G)
  7k votes (4%) - Blank/Void/Scattering

Former Reagan White House political director Frank Lavin has penned an Op-Ed for CNN, stating that he will vote for Hillary Clinton, not "the emperor with no clothes". Most interestingly:

"There are many issues on which Hillary Clinton and I are not in agreement. However on the core foreign policy issues our country faces -- alliance relationships, security commitments, and international engagement -- she comes closer to Republican views than does Trump. And Donald Trump makes me cringe. I am voting for Hillary. And I vote in Ohio."

It's becoming clear that anybody with common sense is endorsing Hillary.

While those 50 GOPers aren't endorsing Clinton, I wonder how much the Clinton campaign was involved with this. This is well timed, coming on the day of Trump's attempt to pivot with his speech on the economy and revised tax plan.  Of course if they really wanted to nail him they would have arranged 50 prominent Republican economists and economic advisors to sign a anit-Trump letter.

that's a pretty big deal, especially as Trump is trying to win Maine or at least ME2.

Chertoff and Ridge have both been #NeverTrump for many months now.  They both signed this earlier letter from many of the same people vowing not to support Trump:

Collins may switch parties. 

If Trump is THAT BAD, why isn't Collins endorsing Clinton?  She's not a conservative Republican; she's the most liberal Republican in the Senate, and no less than a moderate, in terms of the overall spectrum.  If Trump is such a scumbag, why isn't an endorsement of Hillary Clinton too much of a leap for Susan Collins?

I hear this a lot from the #NeverTrump crowd.  I just love being "understood" by the elitists of politics, Susan Collins being a personification of that elitism.  But the public HAS demanded action, and Susan Collins' response is to reinforce the Globalism that has ruined the lives of so much of the "public" that is demanding "action".  If Susan Collins will not respond affirmatively to the demands of the public with its accompanying real passions that chose Donald Trump as the nominee of her party, they what will it take to get her to respond affirmatively to those demands for action?  Riots in the streets?  A March On Washington like the 1931 Bonus Marchers?  Susan Collins cares not one whit for the folks that are, in fact, demanding action.  She doesn't want to act on their demands.  That's the condescending excrement she throws out.  If there's one thing I hate, it's folks who want to tell me how justified my grievances are, yet not want to address a single one of them, except for MAYBE the most trivial.

As a member of that district, I'd said it's Likely D. Bera won in a midterm by a couple thousand votes and it appears that with Trump at the head of the ticket, he'll win solidly.

Collins would stand far removed ideologically from the rest of the D caucus, far more so than she is currently separated from the rest of the GOP caucus.
