Celebrity business magnate Donald Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for president Thursday, telling reporters he will not mount an independent campaign if Romney is the Republican nominee.
Trump, who has repeatedly flirted with the possibility of his own White House bid, revealed his decision in Las Vegas two days before Nevada’s Saturday caucuses.
“It’s my honor, real honor, to endorse Mitt Romney,” Trump said, with Romney and his wife standing nearby. Calling Romney “tough” and “smart,” Trump said, “he’s not going to continue to allow bad things to happen to this country.”

Look at what happened when new governments where formed during the English civil war & later the glorious revolution, and in France between the 2nd empire to 3rd republic after the defeat @ Sedan, not to mention Vichy of course. (Don't even need to mention Germany after WW 1 & 2.)
I really believe there's a real chance of prosecution. If Trump lets everybody off the hook, he'll have made his first mistake. The minute after he's sworn in, he should sign a federal warrant for every evil doer.
If NR is so ineffectual, how can it have handed Trump the election?
By “right enemies” you apparently mean actual principled conservatives. What does that make Trump, and you?
Perhaps I have you wrong, but assuming you were also with Trump on the Cruz Birther issue, well according to Fox only 10 % said it would prevent them from voting for Cruz, just the lunatics.
A week from Monday can change everything, not that anything has changed even other than the MSM narrative that Trump has already won.
But the truth is there were 3 Iowa polls out 2 days ago, all on same day, yes CNN had Trump up 11, but as John King of CNN already pointed out, take the turn out methodology with a grain of salt, and added they also asked in the poll only those who actually showed up to caucus in Iowa 4 years ago, when they were asked same poll had Cruz up 2
2 other Iowa polls out same day
1 had Cruz up by 2, the other Trump by 1
the election is not over as you suggest.
Cruz wins Iowa and that`s the story, the NRO story is only a memory.
You are also forgetting that Trump is now being embraced by Bob Dole and washington establishment etc
I understand that does not fit your narrative.
If you think RINOs are "principled conservatives" we know what that makes you.
In September of 2012, who did you expect them to be making a case for? 0bama?
Brent Bozell is a great guy
If you think Trump is ANY kind of conservative we know what that makes you.
If you want Jethro anointed we know what that makes you.
Romney was inevitable as early as 2011 - or did you forget how Newt’s campaign wasn’t even organized enough to get him on the ballot in several states. Moreover, Romney would have probably been more conservative than Trump, who is playing to the galleries right now - or have you forgotten how he criticized Romney in 2012 for being “too harsh†on immigration.
National Review is right and those who believe this “Trump is a conservative†fairy tale are gullible fools.
“Do you want the trains running late?”
OMG, THAT is just one of the funniest lines I’ve seen all year!
Would be a great punchline in a one-liner in a standup routine.
I notice the gang did not endorse Ted Cruz, either. Big tell there.

Bingo! NR is not interested in conservatives, they’re interested in the GOPe insider club. They’re probably still pining for Jeb.
I agree, a list that includes crazy Glenn Beck. Also, the Hollywood left that includes Jane Fonda, Rosie O, and Harry Bellafonte have organized against D. Trump and threatened the media regarding giving him too much air time. The left sure is frightened of Trump.
Here, here!! ‘nuff said.
And we proceed to fallacy one in the Trumptard playbook: If you oppose Trump, you must support (or are on the payroll of) Jeb (or Hillary, or Bernie, or...)
No, I don’t support any of the above. I support actual conservatives, several of whom were chased out of the race because of the imbecilic antics of Trump and his cognitively challenged supporters. Of those who are left, I support those who are most conservative - but damned near any of them are MORE conservative than Trump based on his own pronouncements.
So who would be winning right now had Trump not entered the race?
The gang of 22 are the 22 “conservative” writers that wrote anti Trump pieces in NRO.
No way. There's no Ford in this race, no sitting President. Romney passed, so no carryover GOPe candidate.
If Jebbers was neck-and-neck with Trump, you might have an argument. But Jeb is already hamburger - 60 freaking million spent (unwisely by Oneforyou-Twoforme Murphy and associated PAC toadies) and can't break 10%.
