Egomaniacs R Us: Trump to pick Newt
Washington Post ^ | 2/2/12 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 02/02/2012 5:37:18 PM PST by KansasGirl

By Jennifer Rubin Herman Cain, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Sarah Palin and now, it seems, Donald Trump have lined up behind Newt Gingrich. It’s convenient to have a candidate like Gingrich who attracts the unserious, the unpresidential, the uninformed and the unpalatable all in one convenient locale. It saves the time and effort needed to determine who is a credible Republican and who is not (Gingrich supporters). The move is yet another boost for Rick Santorum, who definitely is in the category of responsible and credible candidates (whatever you think of his views) and has been struggling to wean the base off its attraction to Gingrich.

Snip

And all of these pro-Newt characters share a penchant for extreme, nasty rhetoric with a disdain for productive governance.

Snip

Really, what’s next for Newt — a Duke Cunningham endorsement from a jail cell?

I have to wonder if JRubin is working on Obama’s behalf because I just don’t see how Romney’s supporters think bashing conservatives and calling them names is going to win there support. Her bashing of Perry, Cain, Sarah, Newt, and their supporters makes mr very angry.

“However, I believe he beats Obama in a landslide. Repubs will be forced to vote for him...”

Not this time.

There is no difference between Romney and BHO.
BHO will campaign by saying “why vote for Romney when you all ready have me”.

It was denied early on by the Gingrich campaign and I believe them. The romney campaign four years ago as well in this cycle have been shown to lie, distort and to be un-principled.

Sad part is that Romney is doing all this dirty work against Newt with the help of the establishment, FOX, Drudge etc and then when they need the base they will say we need to unite and many will.

I will not.

Romney will not take obama on, he will nto go after obama or do investigations into obama, Holder, etc if in power, he will appoint liberal judges and he certainly will not release the documents which obama has sealed .

When homosexuals, liberals etc don’;t mind Romney then we know we have a liberal running.

I believe Ann Coulter would accuse Newt of groping her if she thought it would get Romney elected.

“I hear Trump likes to fire people, too.”

First thing that came to mind when I heard Trump endorsed Romney was the inevitable Democrat joke will be:

What do Trump and Romney have in common? They both like to fire people. So predictable.

I agree...everyone here hated McCain in 07 and Romney is McCain of 2012.

Obviously, everyone HATES OBAMA A 1000 TIMES MORE so Pubbies’ held their noses and without puking, wrote McLame’s name.

That’s what it looks like. And just like you, I am surrounded by moronic libtards so I always grab info on what they are saying as well.

News sources aren’t exactly reliable. Newt’s people say it didn’t come from them. They said they had not been in contact with Trump.

Not this one.

If Romney wins, the GOP will have effectively rendered conservatives/tea partiers irrelevant. Once again, we'll have democrat liabilities on the credit of conservatives.

This is the snarky blog post he made prior to the news breaking that he was endorsing Romney.

Yes I will manc. I felt very down seeing Trump do that to Newt today after Newt agreed to his debate.

Methinks Ann would prefer it if Calista groped her...

There are only 3 places it could come from Newt, Romney or Trump.
Im guessing Trump but it would be good to know for certain
