The reality show host and real estate mogul appeared with Romney and his wife, Ann, at a packed news conference at the Las Vegas hotel that bears Trump's name.
Romney said he was honored to receive the endorsement, but hoped even more to win the endorsement of Nevada voters. The state holds presidential caucuses Saturday.
The endorsement came after a topsy-turvy set of events that suggested Trump might endorse Newt Gingrich.
Gingrich's camp had been so confident of winning the real estate mogul's backing that it had leaked word Trump would support the former House speaker.
Oooh, that's gotta hurt!
You know the ONLY reason I can come up with for Romney to stand on a stage with the man who is now forever linked to the Birther movement, is as a big middle finger to Gingrich. Other than that it makes no sense.
And it seems to have worked too. As indicated by this weary response from Gingrich press secretary R.C. Hammond:
"I am not talking to you guys anymore," he huffed. "I can only say the same thing 16 times."
Still, some reporters followed, wanting more details about the Trump drama.
"I am already tired of you," he said, brushing them off. "I need to take a nap."
Yeah, I can imagine. Being Gingrich's press secretary must be sort of like being Donald Trump's hair stylist, you are expected to perform miracles with nothing of any substance to work with.
Really the ONLY person who could have been helped by a Trump endorsement was Gingrich. It does NOTHING for Romney except pound yet another nail into his political coffin.
As you can see from this ad that the Democrats have already put together.
I have a feeling that Gingrich is going to pull out the stops in his next political ads directed at Romney.
I can hardly wait!
Donald Trump? Isn't that the guy who had his ass handed to him on a silver platter by the President of the United States at the White House Correspondents' dinner last year? That Donald Trump?

It makes sense because Mitt brokered a deal with Donald so that he wouldn't go third party and talk shit about him. Now Mittens has to french kiss Donald in public and act like they are brothers. Haha.
ReplyDeleteOf course Donald will show his ass during the election. But I think Mitt will be fine with--until he's not as Romney is a real life POS. But he's going to have to pucker up anyway.
With Trump involved its going to be a complete zoo
with strippers and raging monkeys. Whoo Hoo.
Gosh, Sarah, you chose a loser and everyone is letting you know it. Even that greasy pizza you shared with the Trumpster couldn't help him to get it up for your Pillsbury Dough Boy and now Mittens has bought Trump with some promise or another and making sure the Donald stays out of the ring, thinking that this will cinch him the title...yeah, I bet you're spittin' and screamin' and hollerin' and stampin' those stinky, crusty feet of yours up and down, but it won't do any good.
ReplyDeleteYou can go on Fox until the cows come home, but you've been exposed, people have figured you out, your popularity was only based on the fact that you were new on the scene and once an attractive woman, but now that people really see you, see your monstrous hate and ignorant, racist behavior, they don't want you, they don't like you and other than your Flying Monkeys and the media that wants clicks and conflict, you're over.

Donald Trump I Would GLADLY Join Mitt Romney's Cabinet
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump says... if Mitt Romney offered him a position in the President's cabinet, he would take the gig in a heartbeat ... and would do a MUCH better job than the "clowns" currently in place.
Right after Trump endorsed Romney for the Republican nomination earlier today, The Donald called in to TMZ Live ... and Harvey asked if he would consider switching professions to work for the President of the United States if Romney was elected.
Trump replied, "I love what I do ... I love the real estate business, I love building things ... but I love the country even more ... if i can do anything to help, whether it's [under] Mitt Romney or anybody else ... I would love to do it ... if it's good for the country."
Trump added, "I will say this ... I'd rather have me negotiating against China, against OPEC and against lots of other people that are laughing at how stupid we are ... I would rather have me negotiating for us than the clowns that are negotiating right now."

Gryphen----Trump is so transparent; in an attempt to gain favor & inside access to the White House he endorses the "flavor of the day". He would likely endorse Ozzy Osbourne if he was the GOP frontrunner.
ReplyDeleteDoes Trump's endorsement really matter?
ReplyDeleteJust two days before the Nevada caucuses Donald Trump announced his presidential endorsement for Mitt Romney. But will the real estate mogul's stamp of approval mean anything to Republicans?
According to a survey conducted January 5-8 among 1,000 adults, by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press and The Washington Post, most Republican and Republican-leaning voters say a political endorsement by Trump doesn't make any difference to them.
The survey found that 64% said Trump's endorsement would not affect their vote, while the rest of those polled had mixed reactions: 20% said they would be less likely to support a candidate that Trump backed and 13% more likely.

ReplyDeleteNew York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is giving a $250,000 matching gift to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America to help make up for the loss of funding from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, his office said Thursday.
"Politics have no place in health care," the mayor said in a written statement. "Breast cancer screening saves lives, and hundreds of thousands of women rely on Planned Parenthood for access to care. We should be helping women access that care, not placing barriers in their way."

Who knows? Sarah might be next to endorse Romney. She must stay relevant at all costs. Her ego depends on it.
ReplyDeleteOMG, both of those idiots should have run screaming in the other direction when Trump was whining about who he MIGHT endorse. Who gives a flying fuck--no one takes that man seriously and no one should really want his endorsement. I must be really slow, because I just don't understand this AT ALL! I thought Romney did not care for this guy now they are blood brothers?? Newt was stupid enough to consider attending the Chump's debate and he gets stood up? AND it scars the shit out of me to realize both of these men are too stupid to know that the Chump's is almost worst than having scara's endorsement. My Dear Non-existent God, politicians are beyond slimy and two-faced. Repugs have NO shame--none. Have fun Jon and Steven, lots of material--it is raining money for those two.
ReplyDeleteTrump endorses his propensity to make more money than his great grandchildren can spend.
ReplyDeleteIn the last quarter of 2012 we will see large donations to the Democrats as well. Note that he will give as much or close to the same amount to President Obama.
Power brokers ALWAYS hedge their bets. That is how they can win favor no matter who wins any election.
Elections have become bets for those who depend on government contracts and favorable legislation. Thank you,conservative SCOTUS.

I wonder how C4P is handling this latest insult to their candidate, Newt. They probably have to wait for Bitter Quitter to set the official tone. I'm guessing it'll be a combo of victim-like-me + lame-stream-media + donate-to-SarahPAC.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I'm sure Romney has absolutely no clue what it means to be really poor. How could he? He probably thinks it means you have only one house, one Mercedes in the garage, the maid only comes once a week, you use dial-up, your kids go to public universities, you have to cancel your country club membership and maybe you use some things called "coupons".
ReplyDeleteWhat the what. I had heard it was an endorsement for Newt, now this. LOL, I need a nap. That's what they get paid the big bucks for.

ReplyDeleteSarah Palin already HAS endorsed Ron Paul. In essence, in spirit, by suggestion, and in reality. This on Ron Paul's website:
SARAH PALIN: RON PAUL “ONLY ONE” WILLING TO CUT GOVERNMENT AND DEBT
Said former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on FOX News this morning:
(Ron Paul) is the only one who has been so adamantly passionate about doing something about the suffocating debt, about doing something about reining in government growth and actually slashing budgets - $1 trillion a year, he’s been specific about until we get our hands around this…
If the GOP is the party of limited government, there is only one such Republican in this race.
If conservatism is about reining in and limiting government, there is only one conservative in this race.
If the Tea Party is about reining in government and debt, there is only one Tea Partier in this race.
Palin is right.
http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/01/27/sarah-palin-ron-paul-only-one-willing-to-cut-big-government-and-debt/
But seriously, why does it matter what Sarah says? Who's listening? Why is it a big deal? Really. I want to know.
If she's part of the political punditry that actually matters and not just a Fox News laughable Talking Head, then there's something about this that we don't know.
David Axelrod and the entire Obama re-election team thank you and your hair!

Interesting thread over there today. The moderator told a poster with a different point of view that, when it comes to posting there, there ARE no 1st Amendment rights.
WOWSERS.
The more the Republican theater of twaddle skates along the more absurd and entertaining it becomes. These charlatans do not respect their base enough to even pretend to be serious or engaged in anything but a political reach around. To even suggest that Donald Trump is anything but a silly old fop is tantamount to saying "hey, you know and I know we can't beat the incumbent, fuckit, let's have some laughs. Food fight!" Each day there is a new faux outrage, a fresh skewed vision, a canard that must be addressed, we want our country back!! It's hilarious and sad, and it's not very hard to figure out, even for a bonehead such as myself.
ReplyDeleteNo way Mr Bojangles will be re-elected now!
ReplyDeleteBut Trump ate pizza with Sarah Palin! How can he do this to her? She should definitely call him out on it. A Palin Trump fight would be delicious.
ReplyDeleteSarah has hitched her wagon to a falling star. Now her bff The Donald has turned against her lil darlin Snewt. Guess there won't be any more greasy pizza in a tacky diner in downtown NYC for The Sarah!
ReplyDeleteTrump said
ReplyDelete"FUCK YOU SARAH... YOUR'RE FIRED"
Old pucker mouth endorses Mitt the dog abuser? How the puck is this news?
ReplyDeleteMittens must be very desperate when he needs the endorsement of a reality star has been/birther/asshole like Trump.
Sarah doesn't understand that blue bloods don't like the noveau riche. She and her brood are considered uncultured, uneducated, Wasilla Hillbullies by those who gained their power and wealth the American way: inheritance.
ReplyDeleteThat's why she refused to serve out her term as governor in the state capitol Juneau. She and her brood were not accepted by the blue bloods.
Guess Trump didn't learn how to draw out the Sarah Palin endorsement lapdance: will he, won't he, ad nauseum. He could have got a lot more attention if he had followed her lead.
ReplyDeleteI'm votin' fir Roseanne Barr!
ReplyDeleteI saw the press conference. Mrs. Romney looks so tired. I fear that Mitt's need to push out on the campaign trail may trigger enough stress to make her MS flair again.
ReplyDeleteI know someone who has MS and stress has a terrible impact on her. She has to take a ton of medication to keep it controlled and whenever her work schedule escalates, she has a setback.
Does Mitt need to be President so badly that he is willing to sacrifice his wife's health? I don't want someone that insensitive about the person closest to him being responsible for the rest of us.
Well that is news to me Jerry Prevo repo man.
ReplyDeleteNext up the bozos at Lizard Lick Towing will start their own Super Church. Their double wides and repo office(/church) will be tax exempt then!
Trump is the biggest liar of them all...he makes Sarah look honest. If anyone is interested....there is so much written about the real Trump history, on how he inherited the money and lost it all, he was so deep in debt that the bankers had to lend him more becuz the losses were gonna be high. All he does is sell his name and now his daughter is scamming the public just like dear ole dad. If Sarah is scum...he is super scum. He brags about the bankruptcy laws...he knows them well. I have seen him in the flesh many times and I can tell you....his mouth is so much like a blowfish its scarey. My apology to blowfish.
ReplyDeleteMore on the what is behind the Komen screwup.
ReplyDeletehttp://crooksandliars.com/blue-texan/komen-executive-behind-defunding-planne
At least Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum have the guts to fight the fight. Coward Palin is just shadowboxing in the corner and yelling out to be noticed.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump? Isn't that the guy who had his ass handed to him on a silver platter by the President of the United States at the White House Correspondents' dinner last year? That Donald Trump?
ReplyDeleteYes, that would be the one. Best takedown evah!!
Karen Handel, the new VP of Komen Foundation, is behind the decision to defund Planned Parenthood. In case you don't recall the name, Handel was the Tea Party nominee for Gov. of Georgia in 2010. Just days before the primary election, Sarah Palin flew into Atlanta to endorse Handel, but she lost. Handel had to pay Palin a reported $65K for the endorsement plus all travel expenses, and Handel went broke trying to pay it back. She is now working for Komen, and made the decision to defund Planned Parenthood. Do not give any $$ to Komen until Handel is gone. She is as nasty as Palin.
ReplyDeleteThis just keeps gettin' better and better. I hope it all goes down in flames at the GOP convention when they realize they're stuck with such a piece of crap as this guy Romney, who will now be joined at the hip with the Donald, the biggest blowhard on the planet. Chaos will ensue. I can only HOPE Palin gets in the mix so we can wipe the stinking, sticky floor with her in a general election against Barack HUSSEIN Obama. That's President Obama to you, bitch.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere Eisenhower, Goldwater, Reagan, and even Nixon are spinning in their graves at the absolute depths their party has sunk to. Since when did that buffoon Trump become the Don of the Republican Party that they all go running to him for his endorsement and approval? He's a joke.

Now if only palin would endorse Romney we could not even bother with an election.Romney is out of his mind for accepting Trumps endorsement.This will more then likely sink his ship.He's an asshole anyway so this is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteBye bye Mittens.
4:11 I have been watching Mrs. Romney with closer than usual attention, because she has MS and so do I. Both look tired and you can already see where Mitt has lost weight since the race began. Mrs. Romney has to rest w/the MS. Would not want to be in either of their shoes for anything!
