Where is your sense of humor? It was way too late to endorse, this was just a funny way of saying that.
IMHO it was just a tension reliever.
“It was way too late to endorse”
Trump just a few minutes ago made an endorsement in the Michigan Governor primary which is TODAY.
The difference is that the Michigan Gov race is an easy pick now since one candidate leads by over 20 points, the Missouri Senate race OTOH is close and polls have been all over the place. But “somebody” named Eric is fairly sure to win.
