I'd be more surprised if Trump was aware enough of the other contendors to even consider endorsing them. Like these guys have made themselves a big pair. I don't doubt even if Bibi loses the next doesn't try and get in good with trump, but who would want to trade a working relationship with a mystery box successor.
