Donald Trump will endorse Mitt Romney for president

[kpete]

Donald Trump plans to announce his support for GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney on Thursday, a source close to the Romney campaign confirms.

The real estate mogul and outsized media personality is set to make an official announcement of his endorsement Thursday afternoon in Las Vegas, at the Trump International Hotel & Tower, of course. The news comes after some outlets reported Wednesday that Trump would be endorsing Newt Gingrich.

Largely quiet since he abandoned plans to moderate a pre-Iowa caucuses debate, Trump is again stealing the media spotlight from the Republican presidential race in the brief three-day window between the Florida primary and Saturday's Nevada caucuses.

Trump very publicly flirted with a presidential run of his own before finally announcing in May -- just in time for the season finale of his reality show, "The Apprentice" -- that he would not seek the GOP nomination.

1. They both love firing people.

How appropriate.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. brilliant observation Skinner ! Love it. nt

[Major Hogwash]

16. Hahahaha!!!

No shit.
But, I'll bet they aren't man enough to do it themselves, they use their lackeys to do it for them.

[FailureToCommunicate]

25. This is HUUUUGGGGE. You're fired. No, you're fired.

The GOP is reenergizing the Dems, methinks.

Who let the dogs out...woof woof.

[Tippy]

35. Kiss of Death....?

[BeyondGeography]

2. Whaa?

[Denninmi]

3. Well, that splits the Adulterers block.

Old Herman Cain for Newtie. The Donald for Mittens.

What is a self-respecting right wing adulterer to do know? Who to go with? Must suck being them.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. LOL. Per Noot, that makes Trump "more human" nt

[FedUp_Queer]

19. And we can NOT forget...

it splits the cronies vote; the vulture capitalist vote; the really bad hair vote and the "other people's money" vote.

[Mz Pip]

4. Damn,

we are so screwed now that Romney has the endorsement of Trump.

I was hoping the Donald would jump back into the race. That clown car was starting to look a bit empty.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Look at the bright side....Don't think there's any love loss for Trump by the Tea Party. This will

REALLY piss them off.

[onehandle]

5. Romney/Trump 2012. The 'Let Them Eat Cake' Ticket. nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

26. Yes! One morally bankrupt, the other actually bankrupt.

Paging Madame Defarge...

[Life Long Dem]

6. That's fitting since Trump doesn't care about the poor as well.

Endorsing Romney now is like someone endorsing Jan Brewer right after she stuck her finger in the President's face. Only instead of racist discrimination, we are looking at discrimination against the poor.

[SmittynMo]

7. Who cares about Donald Duck

This guy is a total waste of time. But I know, it's news.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. don't think we care about him - just any chance he might help prolong the trainwreck somehow. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. what time? It said 12:30 but thought it was Eastern. Is it Mountain Time?? nt

[bigworld]

15. Pacific.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

12. I think we liberals do ourselves a disservice to discount this guy. There are a lot of

Independents and moderates who like Chump. I don't know why, but they just do. Can't afford to lose Indies.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. Trump got thumped with his birther attitude....but I agree...he's got a super biting tongue...will

say anything and a huge mouth. Of course, no matter who he endorses he still can spout
his Obama hatred. For Chump (love that nickname, btw), it's personal now. Obama
made him look like a fool at the Correspondent's dinner. Payback's gonna be hell.

[RockyMtnGuy]

17. Break News, Big Surprise, It's More of The Same

Wooh... shocking news! One son of an old rich white guy is endorsing another son of an old rich white guy!
It's not like they don't already belong to the same exclusive fraternity.

[Tom_Foolery]

18. All I want to know is, did the Don's hair see its shadow today? n/t

[yellowcanine]

20. This is appropriate because Mitt hunts varmints. Maybe he can bag the varmint on Trump's head.

[CAPHAVOC]

23. It looks like a Blonde Skunk

The GOP is like the "Bush"wood Country Club. Fore! Wheres Rodney? Uncanny, Romney fits like a glove in both Caddyshack and Vacation.

[Stuckinthebush]

21. I want to meet all the people who were waiting for this

Who was really waiting to hear who Trump endorsed? Why does he think he is so influential?

[HughBeaumont]

32. More importantly, why does anyone ELSE think he's so influential?

Hasn't this guy just built things that lost money by the metric ton and performed on a reality show that celebrates everything wrong about capitalism? Why is he so revered?

[MADem]

22. And Donald got what he wanted today---he made it "All about MEEEEEEEEEE!"

He is such a blowhard!

[Roland99]

24. A multi-bankrupt egomaniac supporting a vulture capitalist? *yawn*

[wandy]

27. I would say Trump just did Newt a favor. Their are plrnty of reasons to dislike old Blue Blood....

However you usualy don't think of Mittens as a loudmouth, wild eyed, drunk looking for a fight, idiot wearing a cat on his head.
The Donald just fixed that little problem for him.

[rocktivity]

28. Mitt, you moral cesspool!

Is this the same Donald Trump who told The Daily Beast that Romney was “going to lose” because “he doesn’t resonate.” Well, like attracts like.

29. Hair man changed his mind after the shellacking that he got from President Obama

at the correspondence dinner or whatever it was. Where President O put his sorry birther ass in his place. donald the trump decided shortly afterwards that he didn't want any of what President O was capable of dishing out. Yea trump is a punk

[Historic NY]

30. Punxsutawney Trump............"King of the Birthers"

did he ask to see Richie Riches birth certificate.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

31. alternate headline: "Romney courts, embraces fringe birther movement"

Trump is a pathological, race-baiting liar with zero credibility, and Mitt's alliance with him amounts to an endorsement of his work on bringing ugliness to politics

33. WHO CARES WHAT BK TRUMP SAYS

Does anyone really listen to the idiot?

[Vidar]

34. If the Republican voters had any sense, that endorsement should lose Romney votes.
