Donald Trump will endorse Mitt Romney for president, sources with knowledge of the endorsement tell CNN.

When I first heard the rumor of Trump endorsing Newt, I said to myself, no way.
It will definitely be Romney. Two big players in business. Trump probably wants to jump on the Mitt bandwagon.
No matter who he endorses, it will be forgotten in a week.
Saw Trump on the alphabets a couple of weeks ago. He was playing it close to the chest. My personal guess is that he was waiting to see who won Florida, so he could be a “kingmaker”.
And pure social/religious conservatives like me are only a small minority on FR itself. The Lord didn't ever say we'd be popular.
It would be funny to compare the posts from trump supporting Newt and trump supporting Mr
It appears you are right. :( I just saw this cross Twitter:
RT @AP: BREAKING: AP Sources: Trump to endorse Romney for GOP presidential nomination
*sigh*...
Yesterday Newt
Today Milt
Tomorrow Obama
Come stay at my hotel people...look at me, me, me, me.
Don’t need him.
He should back a man who stands for nothing.
He should back a man of similar avarice and no conscious.
That man is Mutt.
Tweet: FakeJenRubin @FakeJenRubin:
“Donald Trump is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.”
There is no way this is a mistake.
Trump is saavy enough to keep his name in the public to promote his brands.
Playing games.
1st he is for Newt and then to keep his name out there now he is for Mutt?
Right and now you have one less viewer.
If I’m ever seated next to you at an event I’ll give my tickets to some hapless fool and trade places away from you.
Plick.
(unless there is a valid explanation for this)
Trump? he will stand at a podium with photos of Santorum and Paul on one side, and Willard and Newt on the other. Turing to Santorum and Paul, he will say something about them and announce, “Rick Santorum, you’re fired.” Turning to the audience, he will say, “Tune in next week. to see who will continue.”
Interesing tidbit of info. No way that Trump is endorsing someone who dissed him UNLESS there is some other ($$$) movtivating force
It’s probably a hair thing.
I defend all the candidates but a Trump endorsement is ridiculous, of little meaning. Didn’t he just leave the party? It’s almost embarrassing to be up there with him but we’ll see.
The only plus is if it means no third party.
Sadly probably yes. My wife is a member of the local northeast side TP group and she says all they want to talk about is the Constitution in a philosophical way and work for local candidates. If anything they are most likely to support Paul than anyone else.
Can you briefly explain the thinking behind that? It seems that it would be the opposite. This is a disappointment.
Or is Mr. Trump a “fiscal conservative but a social liberal”? We know there is no such reality, but that doesn't stop people from trying to play that game.
I don’t think the endorsement means much, but some of his money could help Newt.
Other angle, will Trump state that he will support Newt or Romney and asks Paul and Santorum to drop out?
“The Lord didn’t ever say we’d be popular. “
Not only that, but is it not written: “The servant is not greater than his master. They hated me; they will hate also you.”?
Sure, it’s difficult now, but we are on the side that ultimately wins, wins big, and wins for all eternity.
wallcrawlr endorses not paying attention to Trump
Trump would be better off talking to Joe Biden about getting a referral to his “plugs” Dr, than playing silly little self promoting games with the 2012 presidential races.
