| Useless Value (max. 10) | Endorser | Endorsement | Why it is useless |

Not likely to endorse until winner is clear
| Non-Endorser | Reason explained by Conservapedia | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Jeb Bush | Jeb hopes to be selected at the convention if no candidate wins a majority,[Citation Needed] and thus wants to remain on good terms with all candidates. | |
| Jim DeMint | DeMint would rather build support across the conservative movement without picking sides. |
