Fox News Has Three Sources Saying Donald Trump Will Endorse Mitt Romney

» 29 comments

While speculation ran rampant all Thursday morning that Donald Trump would endorse Newt Gingrich today in his “major announcement,” Fox News’ John Roberts broke into Happening Now and revealed that three sources inside the Mitt Romney camp confirmed to him that Trump would be endorsing Romney, not Gingrich.

Trump will, “step forward and throw his backing behind Mitt Romney,” at 3:30 p.m. (Eastern) from Las Vegas, according to Roberts.

“That’s going to be big here in the state of Nevada,” Roberts said, pointing out that the endorsement should be a boost for Romney, who already has a comfortable lead in Nevada. “Mark that down on your agenda for today. Donald Trump and Mitt Romney together on the stage.”

    One super rich fart endorsing another super rich fart.

    I bet Donald WAS going to endorse Newt, but once Mitt said he doesn’t care about poor people, the comment made Trump’s heart beam with joy and he decided to endorse Mr. Mittens Moneybags instead.

    Guess Donald gets to “LOOK” as rich as Romney. But he’ll never be.

    The New York Times, Politico and AP say that Trump will endorse Newt.  Drudge Report says Trump will endorse Mitt.  I’ve learned over the years that Drudge is far more honest and accurate than NY Times, Politico and AP combined.  This will be a good test to see which one is correct.

    The question is whether Romney really wants madman’s Trumps endorsement. He’s a one man freakshow. Are conservatives supposed to be in line after Trump. He’s more liberal than Romney. It’s freakin curse.

    Lucky Mitt Romney, getting the all important backing of The Apprentice host

    The question is will Mitt Romney now have to kneel, pay homage and…
    …kiss the ring of Donald Trump?!?

  • Paul Doro

    In December one poll said 31% of GOP voters would be less likely to support a candidate who received Trump’s endorsement while only 6% said they’d be more likely to support a candidate who received Trump’s endorsement.

  • Tucsonense

    Is that a good thing or a bad thing?………………………..I bet Mitt is wondering that right now

  • Anonymous

    Considering he’s the standard bearer of holding grudges, I’m surprised he’s endorsing the first guy to turn down his *Donald Trump-themed Republican debate (* = starring Donald Trump).

  • Anonymous

    …Absolutely!

    Although, he wants to back who he thinks has the most realistic chance…

    Being endorsed by Donald Trump is such a joke.   It won’t help Romney, I sure hope it doesn’t hurt his campaign.

    Of what value is Trump’s endorsement?

  • Anonymous

    So it’s not really an endorsement.
    It’s a curse.

  • Anonymous

    Back?
    As in money?
    I think that this endorsement/curse is a verbal one.

    I sure hope that it does.

    He’s smarter than any of those other choices, that’s for certain.
    And what’s your source?
    Link please.

  • ClarkFL

    “He’s smarter than any of those other choices, that’s for certain.”

    Link, please. I’m dying to hear your credible source(s) on this one. I want to see IQ levels of all of them, college degrees, and the most important thing: college transcripts. We’ve yet to see Obama’s college transcripts after 4 years of him announcing his candidacy.

  • Anonymous

    Thanks for those.  And I understand why you didn’t include any Quayle/Palin/Bush gaffes.  There’s only so much room on these boards.

    Or what, you won’t like me?

    From the Huffington Post: ”
    Donald Trump will announce he is endorsing Newt Gingrich for president…The New York Times confirms the endorsement.”

    I guess this proves you just assume the teleprompter in chief is smarter than anyone else, but with no real evidence to prove it your opinion doesn’t add up to jack sh*t. 

    I don’t have to like you or care. I just think its completely stupid to claim Obama is smarter than all of these people when we cant even see his f-ing transcripts. What does the socialist have to hide? Perhaps classes rooted in Alinsky teachings or Marxism?

  • Anonymous

    Actually, if your believe that any one of those that you mentioned, but failed to specify, is smarter than Obama, a Harvard Law editor, then you, by virtue of that evidence, are too stupid to matter.
    For me, the real proof was hearing them speak. That was more than enough.
    And where do you get the absurd idea that Obama has to prove anything to you? Or that he has refused to release his transcripts, or that what he did in college, 30 years ago, is relevant now?
    Or that he’s a Socialist or a Marxist? Or that you know who Saul Alinsky was? Or what, exactly, was wrong with him?
    Or worse, that if one of Obama’s classes did involve Marxism, that that proves anything bad about him?

    And I’m the one who doesn’t know jack shit? (You can spell it out, you won’t go blind).
    Get real
