Yet the m$m seems to be blowing this completely out of proportion, as they do.

Value of Trump's Endorsement


A recent Pew Research survey showed that just 8% of Americans said they'd be more likely to vote for a Donald Trump-backed presidential candidate while 26% said less they'd be less likely to do so.

1. I'm listening to the presser, and Romney didn't sound exactly thrilled. Didn't get to see it, tho.

6. I think it's because it's all about the donald. He is the focus of the media, mitt, not so much.n/t

2. This won't stop him from a 3rd Party run, will it?

3. trump endorsing a republican candidate

does more for Obama then it does for the candidate being endorsed.

America thinks 'the Donald' is a royal jackass.

[Worried senior]

4. I am so sick of the media

pandering to this joke, why do we need his opinion on anything.

5. I totally agree! nt

7. Trump's endorsement and a $5 bill will get you a latte at Starbucks.

Maybe.

8. Romney will get no bump at all

I mean, if one is inclined to think that vast wealth is a powerful indicator of judgement and character, wouldn't one already be in Romney's corner?

9. Ouch!

10. This hurts Romney big-time, especially in conjunction with his slip about not caring for the poor

Trump reinforces the notion that he is an elitist and out-of-touch vulture capitalist.

11. the only benefit was to change the topic from his dumb "very poor" remark.

Trump endorsement will hurt him in the long run as it reaffirms his disconnect with the middleclass and his strong ties to the elite and wealthy.

12. I don't get the whole Trump phenomenon from day 1 forward.

He's famous for being famous, actually generally for being notorious, or infamous, in the sense of those words, for his misdeeds as much as has deeds -- bankrupt businesses, multiple mistress wives.

Just another in a long string of pseudo-celebrities created by the media, and who do nothing to advance our society. Right up there with Lohan, Snookie, the Octomom, Paris Hilton, et al.

Why anyone would care about his endorsement for anything is beyond me. I question the psychological health of someone who would be enthralled by a Trump-type personality.
