US Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN-5) endorses Bernie Sanders.

That's $10 bucks from my friend for me

Congrats! Did your friend think Ellison was going to endorse Hillary?

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Damn. I was hoping that he would endorse Bernie. Markey was in the House Progressive Caucus before he was elected to the Senate.

Schweitzer for O'Malley.

Well...that's random.

O'Malley isn't a southern gentleman though. I don't think that he wouldn't gotten that endorsement if he was from VA or further south.

Schweitzer has always struck me as someone who doesn't care for the establishment. His running mate for MT-Gov was a Republican, after all.

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Sherrod Brown just endorsed Hillary.

Sherrod Brown just endorsed Hillary.

I guess Sherrod Brown is a far right neoliberal corporatist warmonger now.

You forgot fascist.

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

What about Dayton and all the West Coasters? Why haven't they endorsed anyone yet?

Inslee because he's running for reelection next year, and knows that Sanders has some very influential supporters that he doesn't want to mess with. He'll wait until after the primary to endorse Hillary, I suspect.

That might be the same with Kate Brown since her special election is next year as well.

I'm not sure about Jerry Brown though. He and the Clintons get along about as well as Hatfields and McCoys. I'm not sure that he will endorse Bernie though. I think he would have endorsed Biden if Biden ran.

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Even Grayson endorsed Hillary? Wow.

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Grayson endorsing Hillary really does seem out of left field. You'd think he would be going after the Bernie voters considering his own primary. Of course, endorsing Bernie could've backfired as well, so it probably would've been smartest to stay out of it.

Yeah. I'm sure that the primary helped decide who he would endorse. If he stuck hard to Bernie, winning the primary would've been much harder. I think it was a good strategic choice for Greyson. There's a lot more Hillary voters than Bernie voters, especially in Florida.

Democracy for America endorses Sanders.

"Sanders’ 88 percent result in that group’s survey topped Clinton’s 10 percent and the 1 percent for both Martin O’Malley and the option not to endorse at all"

r/sandersforpresident hard at work

Not as much as you might think.

Tom Cotton for Sanders because he will lose the general

Pffffthahahahahaha... oh, wait. You're completely serious.

Yup

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Not an endorsement, but I felt that it belonged here.

Obama will not endorse a Democratic primary candidate.

Human Rights Campaign endorses Clinton

HRC endorses HRC.

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Rick perry for Cruz

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Wanted to make a quick list of the major Democratic elected officials who have not endorsed Clinton (apart from the two, Rep. Keith Ellison (MN) and Rep. Raúl Grijalva (AZ), who have endorsed Sanders)

Eric Swalwell (from CA) supports O'Malley.

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

It was only a matter of time before LePage endorsed him.

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Fmr. California congressman Doug Ose for TRUMP.

Disgusting. He used to be my rep. I'm glad that he lost in 2014.

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Not surprising given how much he hates Cruz.

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Not surprising given how much he hates Cruz.

Let's see if I understand this correctly:

Repeating a CNN report insinuating Carson's impending withdrawal = unforgivable
Comparing Carson to a child molester = worthy of an endorsement?

This is a theme of Carson's - he does things that make no sense.

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Rep. Marcy Kaptur endorses Bernie Sanders

Wasn't expecting that.

Me neither. If she's endorsing Bernie, who will Kucinich endorse?

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Paul Ryan with his first presidential endorsement, John Boehner. Yes, seriously.

That's a conditional endorsement. Didn't Boehner just endorse Kasich?
