Gabby made me think of this when she posted an endorsement that Clinton received, or maybe it was someone else? Either way...
Halfway through the primaries it was scoffed at by how many and who had actually endorsed Trump. Why was because it wasn't a ton at that point, and he had a lot of entertainment folks on his list as well. I'd say that Hillary still has a better list - but for someone who has never been in politics before, and for someone who the other side often labels as crazy, and much worse - he sure has a nice list of endorsements himself. This is just a few, you will have to visit Wiki to see the full list.
