Nate Silver type odds makers place a lot of weight on endorsements by incumbents. So far few Republican wannabes have endorsements. Jeb used to have the most but half of them have been taken back.
Tuesday, Rand Paul all but admitted he was not viable and was endorsing Ted Cruz, who is the closest of any others to a Constitutionalist.
What if Paul, Labrador, Sessions, and other Senators and 50+ Congressmen were to endorse Cruz. It is really quite likely. What if unpredictables like the Gov of Maine endorse Cruz?
It is very possible that Cruz could win the endorsement battle. How would Nate Silver, etal then score the odds?
That would be great. We will just have to wait and see what happens. Today I am just happy that Sessions is coming to Cruz’s defense against Rubio’s lies about his legislative history.
