    Trump Hedges his Bets With Endorsement(s) in Vegas

    Trump Hedges his Bets With Endorsement(s) in Vegas

    As the political circus that is the GOP primary heads to Las Vegas, Donald Trump has also arrived in Sin City, with some reporting he's going to endorse Newt Gingrich and others saying he's betting on Mitt Romney. Clearly, Trump's hedging his bets, but there's one sure thing riding on this latest media flurry: His show, The Apprentice, returns to NBC  later this month.

    The showy real estate and casino magnate (and onetime not-quite candidate) is expected to make his endorsement official today, whether anyone wants it or not. Trump's people (we think) are already being pretty chatty about the whole thing, with "sources" telling both CBS and the Associated Press that he's planning to throw his weight behind Gingrich, but "sources with knowledge of the endorsement" telling CNN he's in favor of Romney.

    Gizmodo's Sam Biddle tweeted this funny screenshot of the mixed news:

    Gingrich, for his part, seems pretty excited about the whole thing, because even though Trump's got no serious political clout, he's very good at creating a spectacle: "I don't know of anybody who does a better job of getting attention by announcing that he will presently announce something," Gingrich told the AP.

      The bigger question is: Who bases their decisions on what Trump thinks?
      • Robert 3 mths ago
        Maybe the election is going be held on his show and he will decide for the GOP.
      • DEFENDEROFTRUTH 3 mths ago
        Yendor: You are exactly right thats the queation that Donald really needs to hear.
    • Philosopher12  •  New Castle, Delaware  •  3 mths ago
      I wish people would stop putting people on these high horses simply because they have lots of money, or can act or play sports. They are just people! People! Who is Donald Trump?
      • justsaynotoBO 3 mths ago
        Isn't he the guy who went bankrupt multiple times? Has had many wives etc?
      • Seriously WTF 3 mths ago
        Just like Newt, he has nine lives.
      • ITOdeed 3 mths ago
        Who is Donald Trump? Donald Trump = God. You can tell that by his out of this world hair-do.
    • popeye1250  •  Murrells Inlet, South Carolina  •  3 mths ago
      If he endorses Gingrich Romney's numbers will soar
    • Yup  •  3 mths ago
      who cares.........!
    • Otto Pilot  •  Spring Branch, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      I'm surprised the camera lens was large enough to get his huge head in the frame.
    • Dog Rescuer  •  3 mths ago
      Who cares whom this blowhard endorses? He is simply out for the publicity. If I were inclined to vote for EITHER of them, whomever he endorsed-----well I would really have to take an even deeper look into them and vote AGAINST them. Fortunately for me, I don't have to do that!
    • Chris  •  3 mths ago
      Yes, what Donald thinks affects me greatly. Please...
    • Robertt  •  3 mths ago
      Gingrich's loss of Trump support should consider this as a blessing in disguise.
    • Rufus777  •  3 mths ago
      Sounds like he's talking out of both mouths, though one is kind of muffled
      • KG 3 mths ago
        The other's stuffed w/ $100 bills
      • Rufus777 3 mths ago
        Thinking more his pants were muffling it and his thighs.
      • KG 3 mths ago
        I'd guessed that...It stands to reason he'd have his mouth full of either S*#t or money... Makes for an unholy picture all around
    • ollie  •  Newark, Delaware  •  3 mths ago
      I had to click on this report just to be able to comment,I DONT CARE WHO HE ENDORSE,and it has been said and proven endorsements dont make a difference,only if they include money.He needs to be the news,this is not about him
    • John  •  3 mths ago
      Trump is negotiating with both candidates. Whoever pays him the most will cause him to endorse the other.
    • Awesome  •  3 mths ago
      Its pretty easy to make millions when you come from wealth. If daddy wasnt so rich, I don't think this guy would be a billionaire. Like they all say, the first million is the toughest to make, after that, its pretty easy to make millions more. This guy's ego is extremely inflated, but lets all remember...daddy's money gave him a GIGANTIC head start!
      • 3C-PO 3 mths ago
        Are we talking about Trump, or Romney ? Both fit that description.....
    • Country Joe  •  Irvine, California  •  3 mths ago
      I feel sorry for the candidate who wins a Trump endorsement
    • Norm  •  Columbus, Ohio  •  3 mths ago
      Which is bigger, Trumps mouth or his ego?
    • Get off my lawn  •  3 mths ago
      Thats the best qoute from Newt ever "I don't know of anybody who does a better job of getting attention by announcing that he will presently announce something,"
    • Ken202  •  3 mths ago
      This is as exciting as watching a snail fart.
    • GabrielF  •  3 mths ago
      Who the heck cares about Trump?
    • badmuther  •  Crescent City, California  •  3 mths ago
      Donald, how did that debate you hosted go?
    • gcblues in Nicaragua  •  3 mths ago
      who cares?

      An endorsement from Donald Trump means you'll get one more vote. From "Mr Bankruptcy" himself, Donald Trump.
