Roger, you are a smart person. Think for a minute about what The Donald has said, espoused, and "vowed". Do not march in lock step with the Republicans. Rubio or even (gasp and wheeze) that insane Cruz would be better than the megalomaniac that is Donald Trump. I am truly sorry your party is a clown car. Not to say my party is a whole lot better, but both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are at least SANE....just saying.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Gov. Butch Otter</span> has endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich. He told reporters last month, "I'm all in with the Republican nominee - there's some that I could support a little more." Two weeks later, he endorsed Kasich and joined the Kasich campaign as a national co-chair. "There's simply no substitute for executive experience," Otter said then. "His record of results is unmatched by any other candidate, and it is time for Republicans to coalesce around his vision for our nation." But he continues to say he'll be "all in" with the GOP nominee, whoever it is. </span>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo</span> isn't endorsing anyone in the presidential race, and he's sticking to that. "He said he probably will not endorse anybody until we select the nominee, and then he will support the nominee, whether it's Trump, Cruz, Rubio or the others," said Crapo spokesman Lindsay Northern.</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Sen. Mary Souza</span>, R-Coeur d'Alene. "I'm not a big Trump fan, but I will support him if he happens to be the candidate. I lean toward Cruz and Rubio."</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">state House Speaker Scott Bedke</span>, R-Oakley, and
<span style="font-weight: bold;">state Senate President Pro-Tem Brent Hill</span>, R-Rexburg, said yes. "I will support our party's nominee," Bedke said. "Absolutely," Hill said. "Considering the alternatives, that's an easy choice for me."</span>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">State Sen. Steve Vick</span>, R-Dalton Gardens, said he signed on with the Ted Cruz campaign several months ago. "I think he has been the most consistent conservative of the bunch. He has at least taken principled stands, and I appreciate that," Vick said. Asked what he'd do if Trump were the nominee, Vick said, "At this point I think that I would vote for Trump, although his positions change so often that I will have to reserve that right until closer to the election. But at this point I would vote for him."</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">U.S. Rep. Raul Labrador</span>, who represents North Idaho, was Western states chairman for Rand Paul's GOP presidential campaign. After Paul bowed out, Labrador endorsed Ted Cruz. He didn't respond to repeated inquiries about what he'd do if Trump were the nominee. "I think Sen. Cruz is the only candidate that can unite conservatives in the Republican Party and is the best positioned to beat Hillary Clinton in the general election," he told the Idaho Statesman.</span>
