Breaking: CNN, ABC report Trump to endorse … Romney; Update: WaPo confirms it’s Romney
Hot Air ^ | February 2, 2012 | Ed Morrissey

Say, isn’t this starting to resemble a certain reality-game show on television? Or would I be fired for pointing that out? Last night, reports surfaced that casino and real-estate tycoon Donald Trump would endorse Newt Gingrich in Nevada today, just two days before the binding caucuses. This morning, both CNN and ABC say that Trump will now endorse … Mitt Romney:

Mitt Romney will receive Donald Trump’s presidential endorsement Thursday, sources with knowledge of the endorsement told CNN.

Trump will make the announcement in Las Vegas, two days before the Nevada caucuses.

ABC is a little more specific about its sourcing:

Donald Trump will endorse Mitt Romney in Las Vegas on Thursday, sources familiar with the decision tell ABC News.

A political aide in Trump’s office spoke directly with Mitt Romney by phone last night before Trump’s private plane took off from New York City to Las Vegas.

The call, sources say, was to inform Romney of Thursday’s endorsement, which will take place at a 12:30 p.m. event at the Trump International Hotel on the Las Vegas strip.

A contracting company used by the Romney campaign has been setting up for the event since Wednesday night.

Quit spreading around in repeated posts that Palin will be endorsing Romney, that is a way that an anti-Palin person would get full benefit of an attack, for months, whether it ever came to pass or not.

Are you mentally challenged? I have not said that Palin is a Romney supporter, I have said she did not endorse Newt accept for her saying if she was voting in that primary she would vote for Newt, that is not an endorsement of Newt for president.

I am sure she has her own reasons to not make a formal endorsement, of Newt, but I won’t speculate as to what they are. Whether she is hoping for a brokered convention or some other deeper purpose, I know not.

Now as to the charge that she will support Romney, Levin, Rush, Hannity, and Palin have all said IF, Romney IS the nominee, they will support him whole heartedly. Prove that wrong or shut up. I personally will not vote for him under any circumstance, and have been consistent in that statement. I have also said, I live in a state where voting for any republican will not change the outcome.

You have the option of voting for whomever you choose, but blaming Santorum for Newt’s failure to win big, is petty. Perry has never until Nevada showed anything like a majority party representative and even then he was short.

Palin is smart not to make a full blown Newt for President Endorsement. Her comments keep all the candidates before the press, because once Romney is anointed the negative attacks will, in my mind destroy Romney.

Well fancy finding you here in 2012 saying almost the exact same stuff about Trump you’ll say in 2015.

LOL!

Except in the flashback, I'm in black and white.
