With just days to go before Nevada Republicans head to the polls to choose who they want to take on President Obama in November, reality show host Donald Trump is injecting himself into the race and endorsing Newt Gingrich.

Trump's office announced Wednesday that he would make a major announcement Thursday morning in Las Vegas, without providing details of what he would say.

Two sources confirmed to CBS News that the publicity savvy businessman plans to endorse the former House speaker in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Nevada holds its caucus Saturday.

Don’t need him.

He should back a man who stands for nothing.

He should back a man of similar avarice and no conscious.

That man is Mutt.

There is no way this is a mistake.

Trump is saavy enough to keep his name in the public to promote his brands.

Playing games.

1st he is for Newt and then to keep his name out there now he is for Mutt?

Right and now you have one less viewer.

If I’m ever seated next to you at an event I’ll give my tickets to some hapless fool and trade places away from you.

Plick.

(unless there is a valid explanation for this)

Well for sure this has turned into more of a disaster/circus than we could have ever imagined.

That being said, last I heard Trump was making his announcement 12:30 EDT. Is that correct?

I always trusted Donald. I expected him to endorse Newt if he endorsed anybody. :)

You might want to sit down...

Trump is wise. He too would get the sh*tstorm treatment from Mitt. Better that it be faced by a fellow with the tenacity to weather these tempests of merde.

Ya think?

“Reality TV star, Donald Trump, who endorsed and contributed money to Harry Reid and Charlie Rangel will travel today to Nevada to endorse a Republican candidate?

Please explain to us why anyone would care.

Please explain to Republican voters in Nevada why they should consider the opinion of a billionaire from New York who endorsed the arch enemy of all Republicans in Nevada, and really the enemy of all Republicans in the US.

Hopefully, media reports of this event will include this delicious irony.”

~~ Ron Paul

***Whatever Trump does will be trumped by its iffy and conditional provisos. His words have a short shelf-life.***

You nailed it. Trump has vowed to ‘not run as an independent if Romney is the GOP nominee’. SOB is threatening that if Newt is the nominee he’ll go 3rd Party.

Newt should go Independent then!!!!!!!!
