    Is this the new campaign strategy for Trump? Instead of convincing voters to vote for you, you convince voters that the people they hate endorse your opponent?

    I await the endorsement of former Nixon staffers to confirm my hypothesis. Maybe sprinkle some nazi-sympathizers in for good measure.

      Remember when David Duke endorsed Trump? Is Kamala trying to get him as well this cycle? Where do those Dems draw the line? Who do they think this is going to convince?

      I was disgusted when last time around Biden got the endorsement of Governor Snyder, responsible for poisoning Flint. That move probably lost them votes. And they just keep doubling down on this strategy until they’ll be the actual Republican party.

        There’s an important difference between actively pursuing an endorsement and being endorsed. They didn’t go to Reagan staffers and beg for their endorsement. You can’t make people not endorse you, even if you reeeeeally don’t like them.
