Good? Bad? I never thought much of endorsements, quite frankly.

After winning his third consecutive GOP primary contest Tuesday in Nevada, Donald Trump has landed his first congressional endorsements, the latest sign members of the Republican political establishment are coming to terms with the New York businessman securing the GOP presidential nomination.
Rep. Chris Collins, R-New York, a wealthy former businessman from upstate New York, said in a statement this morning that Trump "understands the importance of American exceptionalism, and has the unique qualifications to make America great again."
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-California, told Politico this morning that he will support Trump’s bid for the GOP nomination for president, a message aimed at GOP primary voters and his own colleagues in Congress who have been reluctant to acknowledge Trump’s rise.
“We don’t need a policy wonk as president,” said Hunter, who previously supported Mike Huckabee's presidential bid. “We need a leader as president.”
On Monday, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told MSNBC he thinks Trump has a better than 50 percent chance at winning the GOP nomination for president.
