Hmm, with Ryan endorsing Biden, I have been thinking about the other dropped out candidates. Who might they endorse? Well, Gravel has given his endorsement to Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard. Apart from him and Ryan has no one endorsed someone as far as I know.

So here some random fun guesses:

Richard Ojeda: will support Bernie Sanders again, like in 2016

Kirsten Gillibrand: a bit difficult, but I have the feeling she will fall into camp Warren

Jay Inslee: probably someone with a good climate change plan, I think it might be Sanders

Eric Swalwell: He will hand the torch back to Joe Biden.

John Hickenlooper: I have the feeling - without any reasoning at all - he might support Klobuchar.

Bill de Blasio: Not easy to guess, but I think he will go into Warrens camp.

Beto O'Rourke: Really a wildcard. He could endorse pretty much anyone. I just say *throws dice* Kamala Harris.

What are your guesses?

My guess is that not one of them that have dropped out(besides ojeda) that hasn't endorsed already will endorse Bernie. The smart ones will wait and see and endorse after the primary is decided. Endorsing the anti-establishment candidate as an establishment figure is death to their careers and that's all they'll be thinking about.

Well, I guess Inslee can, considering that the climate change is already his raison d'être. Gillibrand and Harris also could get away supporting Warren by just pointing out they are supporting fellow women. But the rest will probably support either Biden or Buttigieg.
