endorse,ments are not all equal. a lot of it matters on timing. i he endorsed rubio over jeb, that would send big shock waves through the republican part bit at this stage he would be giving a gift to ted cruz and donald trump if he endorsed, say, jeb right now. does he carry that much weight in the party now? can he influence the outcome? he is the next speaker of the house of representatives. [laughter] by the rate they re going. but for mitt romney to weigh in when he said he would wait until we have a nominee, obviously i got this talking to ann the temperment and tone of trump think don t think that is becoming of a nominee. obviously mitt romney, his temper of the and persona he is a reserved like george h.w.
