TL;DR Summary

Trump's level of support in Florida is impressive, with 55% of Florida's Republican representatives endorsing him, the second-highest endorsement rate among same-party representatives from a rival's home state since 1972. However, early endorsements in a rival's home state are not a great predictive measure of winning the nomination, and broader support among voters is needed.
