Uh, that that list is filled with the people the party hates. Those are largely the principled conservatives FreeRepublics members used to ally with.

[lentulusgracchus]

I'm a little surprised and not-surprised to see playwright David Mamet on the list. He's done/said some pretty conservative things (like writing screenplays for The Unit, starring Dennis Haysbert), but I was a little surprised to see he's gone all the way to support Sen. Cruz.

Ditto actor James Woods, tho' less surprised since he's been an outspoken conservative for years. (He's also the guy who spotted Mohamed Atta and the 9/11 hijackers practicing their moves and testing aircrew responses on a dry run in 2001, and turned their ass in to the FBI. The FBI, however, didn't see the full significance of what Woods was reporting until 911.)

[beandog]

Yes, Savage is nuts. Seriously nuts.

[Theo]

Neo-Nazis support Trump. Your point?

[Theo]

Jesse Ventura and Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman and Mike Tyson have endorsed Trump. Nice.

Oh, I see that Ivana Trump has also endorsed The Donald.

Nice.

[Eddie01]

You’re entrenched. Agree to disagree.

[garyb]

Any studies ever done on if endorsements effect a persons vote?

I don’t recall ever voting for a candidate based on who did or did not endorse him or her.

[4rcane]

Check out Bush’s endorsement list. I think its the largest of all the candidates

[elhombrelibre]

This is great.
