Shall we all bow before the superior intellect?
Remember that pride goeth before the fall.
What? FREEPERS were cheering that he was going to endorse Newt and calling him a great conservative. I wonder if the FREEPERS will change their tone now. See I can’t stand Trump. Never could and knew he was a fraud. Had a lot of blast for saying such things but as usual I am right. Eggs are available.....
Yep, all those breathless posts from yesterday about Trump endorsing Newt have suddenly slinked down the memory hole.
I feel the same about Trump. But when he was floating the idea of running for president, I had an exchange with relatives who live in Nevada. They are not political, but they brought up the subject and said they and their friends were excited about the prospect of Trump running. I laughed. Just an anecdote, but maybe they are reflective of the sway of a Trump endorsement in Nevada.
Combover boy’s endorsing Newt would be one thing that could cause me to switch to Santorum instead. Fortunately his endorsing Mitt causes no conflict for me whatever.
all the trumpbots heads most certainly are exploding over the 'tease' of the last 24 hrs...
Agreed. Why does Trump have any political credibility with anyone?
THAT was just a cover to see how many Romneybots would start calling The Donald names for not bowing down to Mitt. REALLY Now REALLY... how it that Trump was ever a conservative?
Name those Freepers. What was there about 10 of them. How many Freepers are there.
Yes, I first early read the thread where he is thought to e endorsing newt, and Freepers seemed to think trump was brilliant. Now that he’s endorsed mitt, Freepers dump all over him.
Romney and trump are birds of a feather. It’s not a surprise. Only trump is pretty entertaining on tv!
And newt or his staffers or both did a very stupid thing, leaking an endorsement they did not have. There’s egg on one’s face. Then there’s a full Spanish omelette garnished with parsley on the face.
I agree. Some people on this board flip-flop with the wind. I think Trump is a jerk no matter who he endorses. But it will be funny to see all of those people who said how smart Trump was, how important his endorsement is, how he tells it like it is when he was supposed to endorse Newt, turn around and make excuses and now say how terrible Trump is.
One the other hand they both seem to like to fire people and don't care about poor people.
So does this mean Trump won't run 3rd party? It would be kind of hypocritical if Mittens was the nominee.
Go Newt!
HAHA, LOL. Would be funny to go back to those "Trump to endorse Newt" threads and find all the people who thought Trump was great then and suddenly think he is a pile of rat dung now. Just hilarious how quickly people get thrown under the bus.
Trump is a clown no matter who he endorses. This endorsement will likely hurt Romney more than help and I glad to see him get it.
You’re right about that. I loved it when Trump proved to everyone you could be a personality of wealth and import from the East Coast, and still choose to open your mouth and bash away right up front and take it to the president
in-his-face!
He dared the media to come after him for it, and they did not come after him by much measure whatsoever.
THIS was a lesson well learned. I appriciated Trump for teaching it.
I was shocked yesterday when it was reported his endorsement was going to NEWT. I was delighted and thought foolishly that he admired Newt’s combative style.
This is a better fit for Trump to endorse Romno-money. It is the money thing, you know...his, and Romney’s they are most interested in.
I like Trump. I didn’t dive in after the Newt announcement, although honestly, I was pleased. I was hoping it would be another source of money for Gingrich.
I’m now disappointed, although even when I was positive toward Trump, last fall was it, I never considered him what I’d call a conservative. He hadn’t been in the past, anyway.
FR has gone nuts.
The sad fact is that this election cycle stinks. Rick S. is who I voted for, but I know that it is between Newt and Mitt.
Trump thinks Mitt is the one who will come out on top. God help us.
I’ve been leery of Trump as a wolf in sheep’s clothing since he started poking Obama’s BC issue. Now the cloak is off and the truth is out.
If you haven't realized...many of FReepers are unstable in all their ways...tossed about like a ship on the ocean. They are probably the same freepers who will believe a PPP poll when it shows them GOOD things...but cry foul when it heralds a double digit win for Romney in Florida...saying it can't be trusted and "they don't believe it!" They will scream at dims for recess appointments but if a republican turns around and does the same thing...or 6 years from now...they will cheer and rationalize it. They supported Bush as he ran up the deficit....relentlessly.
Need I go on? I can.
They are hypocrites that make crap up as they go along and tattletale like vicious children.
I've learned from Christine O'Donnell debacle that many conservatives (many Freepers included) are quick to fall for someone who says things they want to hear. Whether or not they are connected to reality, it's irrelevant. Or whether the person's actions in the past--if we look carefully--embodied conservative principles. It doesn't matter either. As long as the person says the 'right' things today, that's what count.
