SubscribeDonald Trump endorses Mitt Romney
Any politician who gets a Trump endorsement deserves our pity
It is clear to the most moderately intelligent observer that the GOP has already ceded the 2012 election to President Barack Obama. [“Mitt trumps Newt in nod from Donald,” News, Feb. 3].
The party’s serious candidates, Jeb Bush, Mitch Daniels, Chris Christie, and Gen. David Petraeus, defer until 2016. This leaves the Republican stage crowded with clowns and losers. Newt Gingrich was rejected by his own party in a previous Congress. Rick Santorum lost his last election by double digits. Donald Trump and Willard Mitt Romney can only be regarded as Marie Antoinettes in gray flannel.
It is sad to see the party of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Dwight Eisenhower brought down to the level of vaudeville. Any politician who grovels before Trump to get an endorsement deserves our pity, but surely not our vote.
