LAS VEGAS – With his trademark flair for spectacle, Donald Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for president Thursday on the famed Las Vegas strip – just hours after Newt Gingrich’s advisers were spreading the word that The Donald would be anointing him instead.
Trump’s endorsement seemed likely to affect this Saturday’s Nevada caucuses – and the GOP nomination fight in general – about as much as a Sin City breeze disturbs the real estate mogul’s legendary hair. But he managed to create a stir of a different sort, at least for a day.
Romney said he was glad to get the support, but he seemed almost bemused to be caught up in the Trumpian drama.
