We know that Bush and Bush are endorsing Bush.
Clinton is endorsing Clinton.

And which candidate is endorsed by Jimmy Carter? Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders?

IIRC a while ago he said Hillary was inevitable. I don't think that constitutes an endorsement though.

I don't think the endorsement of a President who lost in a massive landslide 36 years ago is going to matter much

Carter is one of the most respected elder statesmen in America... Election results aren't everything, even if you do post on a forum like this.

I don't think he's a big fan of Hillary.

Carter is highly respected despite not being a great president.

I don't think he will endorse until a nominee is chosen, but, id say he'd pick Clinton, who is slightly more of a traditional democrat, over the socialist.

Probably nobody, but if he decides to endorse somebody for some reason it will probably be Clinton.

TBH I can't wait for him to endorse Sanders and then see Clinton start to attack Carter as a failed president.

I think Carter will stay above the fray.

I think Carter will avoid endorsing either candidate like the plague.

I can't believe Carter would endorse Sanders, who's not really a Democrat, while Clinton is the wife of a former President.  I will note that there always has been a bit of a rivalry between Carter and Bill Clinton, although it's low-keyed.  I can't see Hillary not being the nominee, and I think once that becomes clear, Carter will say all the right things.  But he's not going to jump in now.  Why should he?  What's in it for him?  Carter was hurt by his re-election defeat and by the drumbeat of criticism of how he was a failed and incompetent President.  That criticism was grossly unfair, but it stuck for a long time.  The balm for his wounds is his status as an elder statesman.  I doubt he's going to tarnish that just to be a faux "queenmaker" in the Democratic race this year.

A Carter endorsement would probably have some sway in Georgia I'd think.  He is still really popular down there.

I wouldn't be surprised if he waits to endorse a presumptive nominee, as he did in 2008.

Well that'd be as useful as Welch's endorsement.

I remember reading something about Carter saying Hillary has to prove herself.

If he were to endorse anyone, it would likely be Bernie Sanders.
