a candidate absolutely has control over who endorses them. When you do things that lead to Duke, Spencer and Bannon endorsing you and saying how much they love you and that you would fit into a Trump administration...which is what Bannon said explicitly...then maybe you should stop doing those things.
Those folks didn't endorse Sanders. Why? Because he isn't doing or saying or supporting things that they like or want to encourage or think would fit into a Trump administration.
She's anti-war. Apparently that's all some folks need to like her.

OTOH, appealing to non-Dems is part of what lets a ticket win the White House.

No Dem is going to vote for Trump (or stay home) because Gabbard is on the ticket.

Fortunately she has no chance of being anywhere near the Dem ticket.

I don't see the qualifications, any particular skill-set, or ability to gain voters for ticket. NT

I forgot I had posted this poll! In fact, I'm come to think more positively of her since then,
