Romney makes more sense for Trump than Newt.

It'd probably be better for Newt that he not be endorsed by Trump.

I don't expect it to matter. Romney will easily win the Nevada caucuses as he did in 2008.

MITT ROMNEY: New schedule shows unnamed event @ unnamed located @ same time Trump slated to be at Trump property for big announcement.

This is turning into a real nail-biter! I have maters ready to throw if Trump doesn’t see it my way. One must admit the man is a master at self-promotion.

So a guy who donates money to Emanuel and Schumer endorses a liberal. Go figure!

Say no to the GOP's Rhino.

We’ll know soon enough, but I don’t see him backing Romney unless he got on a “stop all the fighting and beat Obama now, Romney, Romney, bandwagon.”

Yes, I think FR and a few other sites are all that is left of the far right. Perhaps the most influence is in the Congress. Seems like the presidency is out of reach. The sad thing is, I really believe the vetting process is more like a human wood chipper than anything any reasonable person would ever want to put themselves through. We tend to eat our own as it is.

I still hang on to anybody but BO and will vote that way come November and hope that not only can we capture the presidency but Congress as well. I’m in NC, so any hope that my vote will matter in our May primary is totally lost, especially when mostly everyone seems to be of the opinion that 3 primaries and one caucus is enough to determine who get the nod.

Well...I'm sure Romney has prepared an anti-Newt speech AND and anti-Trump speech.

I just don't see Trump endorsing Romney.

Trump endorsement a big publicity play. Count on it.

you gotta hand it to Trump, he knows how to generate media attention.

Cain’s endorsment pretty much went unnoticed because it wasn’t announced or hyped and was done at a small event, and was thus wasted.

“.....to make the endorsement even more of a slam.”

That is exactly what it looks like to me.

I am certain that Trump will be endorsing Romney.

What happened to the insider who last night said he’d endorse Newt?

I agree, this must change. I’m tired tired of being fed the left-overs! I want to sit at the table and eat with the rest of the family.

“I just don’t see Trump endorsing Romney.”

I do and I am certain of it.

I’d like to be wrong.

Why does anyone really give a rat’s ear what this nincompoop has to say? He is just a publicity addict.

I think that was just a tactic used to add to the impact of the endorsement.

Trump is a showman.....

Its the Overton Window effect (Joseph P Overton's political theory, not Beck's book of the same name) and the establishment which includes Gingrich is using it very effectively to move the base to the left. All they have to do is stay marginally to the right of Obama and they can move the entire base to the left.

About halfway down the page is an interactive demonstration of how the window works

scroll about halfway down the page for a demonstration

Now I see that the attacks on Santorum are starting to attack capitalism and his "support" of the drug industry.

Oh my. I was hoping Trump would endorse Newt. Fingers still crossed.

Already hitting twitter is that the GOP really is the party of the rich, white guy.

Regardless, no Mitt, not now, not ever.
