The Trump And Romney Show

Feb 3rd, 2012

While Fox News is hilariously championing their frequent guest's endorsement of Mitt Romney (Media Matters hammers them with examples HERE, HERE and HERE) just about everyone else with their finger on the pulse of American politics is shaking their head.

In recent PEW polling examining the potential impact of GOP endorsements from a number of the prominent players, Trump's negatives were the highest. 20% of registered Republican and Republican leaning voters said his endorsement would make them less likely to vote for that candidate.

This poll is several weeks old.

The Romney camp had to have known that this information was out there.

That Mitt was willing to accept the endorsement at all, much less in person, speaks volumes about his fear of the Ailes media machine.
