      1. Why haven't there been more Trump endorsements? Why haven't GOP office-seekers jumped on the Trump bandwagon.

      2. After Tuesday's vote, Trump still seems on path to be GOP nominee & could well get a majority of the delegates.

      3. But the fact of the Trump juggernaut runs against competing fact that there is still a near total rejection by party elite.

      4. There have been a few endorsements: Carson, Cruz, etc. 4 congress people, 1 Senator & 3 governors. Not much. Clinton has 40 senators.

      5. Or consider foreign policy office seekers (i.e. would-be Kissingers). An amoral, opportunistic group. Yet none have signed on to Trump

      6. Of course, any sensible, self-respecting person would want to stay away from Trump. Look at how he's treated Chris Christie.

      7. I was wrong: Six members of Congress (and in point 4 I meant Christie, not Cruz):https://twitter.com/Bencjacobs/status/710319116654125056 …

      @HeerJeet six members of congress. In past 36 hours, Renee Ellmers and Tom Rees

      8. But really joining Team Trump, especially if you are a career pol, is like becoming a courtier to Caligula or King Joffrey. Not safe.

      9. Two possibilities: party elites are pretty confident that despite all evidence to contrary they can stop him, likely with convention coup

      10. Second possibility is party elite is convinced Trump will be epic disaster in November & want to keep a distance from him.

          11. Again the big tell are the job-seekers. By definition these are people who crowd around likely winners. Not happening this time, not yet

          @HeerJeet Yep. Only desperate folks like Renee Ellmers who has nothing to lose since she's likely to lose her seat anyway.

          @HeerJeet Does party elite expect the public to run back to them with open arms after a possible Trump disaster? You Let This Happen.

          @HeerJeet I think second possibility seems more likely based off of reaction to Christie's endorsement

          @HeerJeet third-see his success as idiosyncratic and not something they can adopt, so let him run his race and they stand aside

          @HeerJeet Doesn't matter. Christie subjugation shows that you take deals on HIS terms—exactly as advertised. Ass-kissing gets you bupkis.
