Asa Hutchinson got 0.1% in Iowa so he dropped out. After that the Haley campaign claimed she got his endorsement. They lied. He put out a single tweet of mild approval about her. At first I thought it was a stupid thing for her campaign to do. What were they hoping for? That Haley might grab a literal handful of Hutchinson voters in New Hampshire?
But then I realized the obvious. Because nobody actually gives a shit about endorsements anyway - her consultants knew the media would correct the situation and that would generate an iota of free media. And very little bit of free media helps.
