2012 Donald Trump Takes Credit for Romney's Win in Nevada

Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 12:25 PM

Since the Romney team is trying to pretend the Trump endorsement never happened, they must hate this:

There was a lot riding on that particular race in Nevada and it was interesting, because the numbers were much, much greater than you thought,” Trump gloated. “And a lot of people are giving me credit for that. And I will accept that credit.

Donald Trump is a kingmaker. Donald Trump is the power behind the Romney throne. Mitt Romney would be nothing without Donald Trump.

Trump is not nearly as important as he thinks he is.

Trump is angling for a job as Secretary of Douchebags.

Donald, your wife does not count as "a lot of people."

He takes credit for everything.

Trump is the stealthiest Obama supporter.

Honestly, if Donald Trump were the reason the terrorists hate us, I couldn't blame them.

King-maker, Cain-destroyer.

from the Time to Get Tough by Donald J. Trump afterword:
"Herman Cain is a real piece of work. He came up to my office and immediately I liked him and I believe he liked me. He's a terrific guy with a magnetic personality(he also happens to be a great singer). When Herman left Trump Tower, the press swarmed over him and I was told he said something like, "Look, I don't know if I am going to get Donald's support or endorsement but I wanted to get to know him and I wanted him to like me because he's got thte most vicious mouth for anybody he doesn't like and I didn't want him badmouthing me." I though it was extremely cute and honest and I do indeed like Herman Cain."

So that is why turnout was so low.

@10, the key to being a relentless self-promoter is to never, ever give specifics like that. Unfounded assertions are the way to go.

why must you play his game? i would like Slog to be a Trump-free zone, please.

Love to see the Repugs destroying each other every time they open their mouths!

By the way, check out Romney's REQUIRED-TO-WEAR Mormon "Magic Underwear". It's a fetish garment supposed to protect each and every Mormon from Sin and from disease! Mormons are NEVER supposed to be naked..... yes, that's meant exactly. Look it up. No exceptions for Candidates.
Irrelevant to this discussion but too good a Talking Point not to stick in.
Religion is Fair Game, since the Repugs themselves began making it an issue.

Oh please the only thing Trump proved was how weak Romney is. Cow tow to Trump beg for his endorsement and crawl on stage with him to to accept it.

Mitt you want to be my President and you kiss that douche bag's ring. PLEASE
