“I hate to say this, and I hope I’m wrong, but I think Trump is backing Gingrich figuring he’s going to lose. This will be his excuse to run as a 3rd party against Romney and Obama, hoping he’ll pick up the pissed off conservative base.”
I don’t have a problem with that. I would vote for Trump over Mitt or Obama or Paul.
He should have run as a Republican then, instead of splitting off as a 3rd party spoiler.
