Do not put too much stock into Trump's endorsements.

He has a tendency to pick the favorite and will seldom pick an underdog, for fear he will lose badly and make him look weak.

I don't know if the guy that won in OH last night was favored but I doubt that he was an underdog?

The odds are that most of these folks would win without Trump's endorsements.

So, we should try to keep it in perspective.
