Trump with Gingrich - image Christian Science Monitor
Google News viaAFP: Sources have indicated that Donald Trump will endorse Newt Gingrich, 2012 GOP Nominee today from his Trump International Hotel and Tower. Trump, who has yet to endorse, has made the statement on several occasions that he would consider an independent run if the GOP did not nominate the right candidate – basically, Trump has made up his mind to push who he considers to be the right candidate towards the nomination. For all the pooh-poohing from the pundits on Trumps brand, especially when it comes to politics, they could not be farther off base.
One has to remember, that whoever Trump endorse, will take on that apprentice, American Idol mantel, as Trump has the ability to get his message out to the general population. This is one endorsement, if made today that might well put the chosen candidate on the fast track. Between the recent spates of “state by state” endorsements from Sarah Palin for Newt Gingrich, and should Trump endorse today, that will put considerable weight behind the former speaker of the House.
He did, indeed have a dreadful performance it the debates in Florida, yet, a second place finish, under a barrage of negative advertising from the Romney camp – came in at a respectable 31.9% with 531,294 Register Republicans (closed primary) to Romney’s total of 771,842 (State of Florida a larger version of the State of Massachusetts in 2005) – This may be the impetus that Gingrich needs to get back on track – push the positive and answer then ignore the negative’s coming from the Romney campaign, one which is laterally fighting on 3 fronts in Nevada. Is there yet another uptick in the future for Newt Gingrich, absolutely, one can never say never, in this particular race – Gingrich ahs the gravitas and the poetical experience necessary to take on the field – especially if he gets a little help from Donald Trump.
