My point is, and you know it, that candidates don’t disavow endorsements unless it’s something crazy ridiculous
Like when David Duke endorsed Trump.

I’m pretty sure Trump disavowed that. But outside something crazy like that, why would they?

I wonder if Ilhan Omar ever disavowed David Duke?

My feeling is that very few people will disavow a postive endorsement. At most they will ignore it and accept it.

Massie isn’t going to change his endorsement, and he is going to be Jack and Rose riding the stern of the Titanic all the way into the water as it disappears.

But if Massie did change his endorsement (He won’t, but even if he did) I have no doubt that Trump would highlight it by saying Massie had finally come to his senses, or something like that.

So, I suspect, in a way we agree when you said “But outside something crazy like that, why would they?”

They wouldn’t, they just might play it differently.
