Mr. Trump can change his mind, though. The optics of a multi-billionaire endorsing a near billionaire will work well for Team Obama. There must be some backslapping and celebratory 8 balls at that HQ tonight.

Romney himself picked up on the irony in his brief remarks after pronouncing himself “delighted” at the backing of the orange-haired billionaire.

ROTFLMYromneyOFF @ "orange-haired" billionaire!

Greta interviewed him tonight. She caught Mr Hairdo in some pretty big whoppers. He was always for Romney Imo. He was supporting Obama before, didn't he? I recall him saying he had no problems with Obama. I have never trusted him.

The Mittster can now lay claim to being a Flim-Flam Man’s Flim-Flam Man.

The Con de tutti Cons.

Mr. Bunko Supremus.

.....with all the shoe-shines, hairstyles and mis-matched ties that the position conveys.

Watch for a special offer from Andrew Sullivan and get a second Mitt Romney absolutely free! - Just pay for separate Shipping and Handling.

Bingo. No matter who got Trump’s endorsement, the benefit is sidelining him from a third party run. That prob will hold true now no matter who gets the nomination.

Sadly I think the Trump endorsement is better than the McCain endorsement.

This isn't an endorsement, it's an acknowledgment by Trump that he understands Mormon control of Vegas labor unions will continue.
It's Trump signaling that he won't rock the LDS union boat in Vegas while unemployment is so high and anti-union sentiment soaring. Oh, did I say LDS union? Of course I mean, fascist democrat unions. But you see, thanks to Harry Reid, they're one and the same thing in Las Vegas and in fact, all of Nevada.

Romney is the current fascist pick for figurehead of the Vichy Republican regime they're going to allow to have the executive branch and suffer the consequences of what the fascist democrats have been up to since 2007.

Vichy Republicans have to be kicked out of the Republican Party rather than left in control of it while true Conservatives struggle to start a third party. Breaking down the two party system has been a goal of the democrat fascist party for a long, long, time because then even in the worst case, all they have to hang onto is the two liberal strongholds on the coasts and they hold the swing votes.

JMHO

I don’t rightly know. How many members does the hair club for men have?
