We pointed out a few weeks ago that most GOP governors, senators and representatives had not endorsed any of the remaining candidates. Using our weighting system — 10 points for endorsements from governors, five points for endorsements from U.S. senators and one point for endorsements from U.S. representatives — we saw that only 22 percent of available points had been awarded to a candidate still in the race, the lowest share since at least 1980. With Cruz dropping out, that percentage drops to 18. The question now will be whether more Republican elites will rally around Trump or continue to sit this cycle out and not endorse anyone.
