Donald Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for president Thursday, saying he's impressed by the Republican candidate's debate prowess and believes he could easily beat President Obama in November. 

"Mitt is tough. He's smart. He's sharp. He's not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country that we all love," Trump said in Las Vegas, telling the candidate to "go out and get 'em." 

The real estate mogul, speaking briefly with reporters before the announcement, said that even though he "never knew" Romney before the race began, he's come to know him in recent months. 

"His general attitude and the last two debates were very impressive," Trump said. 

He also cited Romney's position on China, calling the former Massachusetts governor

“Agreed. Why does Trump have any political credibility with anyone?”

And why has Fox News adopted Trump? Every time I turn on Greta, there he is.

Nova Scotia might be nice as well. . .’cold’; of course; and a few other thigs; but definitely, an escape.

Souter truly an ‘odd duck’ and often wondered; who it was; that brought his name on a plate to Bush. Huge mistake; altogether; unfortunate, misjudgment. The ‘plate’ of course; stopped with the president.

Romney’s stench is all over this. His camp also claimed that Jeb Bush, who was in China at the time, was going to endorse Romney right before the Florida primary. Jeb had to release a statement that he wasn’t endorsing anyone at the time.

Yep, I wouldn’t doubt that Romney’s fingerprints are on this one. This guy is despicable. And I don’t believe that Newt is pissed because he hadn’t heard from Trump about it. Fox News is so ridiculous!

Pretty dirty with the earlier story of Newt being Donald's call.

Frankly, I'd fire the Donald for not stopping it.

Firstly I was never a fan of Trump at any point ever, have never ever watched his dumb show

My take on this is......

He decided he wanted the respect of the masses rather than the respect of the Tea Party/Social Conservatives?

He took quite a beating for his Birth certificate of Obama thing, siding with the MSM now may help him be restored in the eyes of homofags etc in the media?

Never cared for the guy, he likes the sound of his own voice etc.

If he had endorsed Newt I would have cut him some slack, but never cared for him.

He once said that he was disappointed Kerry lost to Bush, he also says Hillary is ready to be President.

Get this guy out of here, probably what Mark (the great one) Levin will say

I already lived through a mormon hell, I won’t live in a mormon country.

I've lived through 3 years of 0bama he!!, I won't be a part of promoting the living through another 5 years of 0bama he!! whether it is via a Massachusetts liberal socialist or a Chicago Marxist liberal socialist.

Very true indeed. What I find interesting is that people still continue to cite faux news opinions and uncorroborated talking points as gospel.

LOL.. The Donald is nuts.

No, just a shrewdly successful businessman.

He succeeded in spite of himself., and thus rivals Obama. ;-)

Mikey liked him.

I get the celebrity rich guy thing, and that’s all I consider him to be. I don’t know why his political endoresement carries any more weight than any other celebrity’s would. I’m assuming there’s stuff he’s involved in that goes on behind the scenes, because a number of the candidates paid him a visit. Publicly, he has his opinions and that’s fine. But that aside, I’ve always just considered him an egotist and a blowhard and, politically, a potential demagogue.

I know there’s been a desire among a lot of conservatives for a person with business experience. There’s no doubt he has that. But as someone on the radio here pointed out, Trump has managed to accomplish something that is nearly impossible — he bankrupted two casinos.

Combover boy's endorsing Newt would be one thing that could cause me to switch to Santorum instead

That comment is telling and explains much. Most don't vote by the "flavor of the month" endorsement.
