Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, right, shakes hands with businessman Donald Trump after Trump endorsed Romney’s presidential bid during a news conference at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada February 2, 2012.

Forget attributing Mitt Romney’s win Saturday in Nevada to his superior campaign organization, momentum from Florida, electability, business record or the Mormon factor.
It was The Donald.
Donald Trump, who endorsed Romney on Thursday at his Las Vegas hotel, took credit for Romney’s win in Nevada’s GOP presidential caucuses.
“There was a lot riding on that particular race in Nevada. And, it was interesting because the numbers were much, much greater than he thought,” Trump said. “And a lot of people are giving me credit, and I will accept that credit. Always accept credit.”
Romney finished with 50 percent of the vote, about the same he won Nevada with in the 2008 presidential Republican Caucus. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich came in second, and Congressman Ron Paul in third.
At a post-caucus news conference, Gingrich addressed erroneous media reports that he would be getting Trump’s endorsement. He said Trump played the media well. “You have to admire his chutzpah,” Gingrich said.
The sun came up this morning, should we thank The Donald for that as well?
Too funny!!!
Hey, Don... Did the Giants thank you for helping them win the Super Bowl?
He looks in the mirror every morning and probably sees an image of half the Republican party. Such a following!
This guy is really "Trumping" up viewers for his apprentice show..... anyway he can.
He would make a good politician. He will take the credit if all is well and blame it to somebody if it's not.
But first, he needs to be elected to an office and that alone will be an impossibility. People will not vote for someone who has a bigger ego than his balls.
What a jerk.
Manny, you are dead wrong..... they voted for Obama
I luv it! Trump is playin' Romney like he does the rest of the suckers that actually believe anything that comes out of his mouth. THe media are the real saps for giving this a-hole a platform to spout his b-sh*T! LOL
What a joke....that Heretic is.
Then there is The Donald......a lot of people gave him credit for Romney's win? WHO???? Haven't heard or read ANYONE crediting Trump. This man's ego is incredible. Frankly, I think Romney was sort of embarrassed by Trump's endorsement but hey...money is money for these two.
Trump's antics more closely match Gingrich. They are both so freakin' funny!
Sort of like Obama taking credit for killing Osama...
I saw Newt leaving Palazzo this morning at the Venetian tour bus lobby...where his NewtBus was parked. There was more security than occupants of the lobby. We all know who paid his hotel bill.
But The Trump taking credit for Mitt's win?! Mr. Trump, who do you think will believe you? Your head is bigger than the bald spot you're combing over with your big hair that needs a trim! It's a shame you didn't make a serious run in the primaries. Then your true lack of popularity might have put you more in your place. Then again, your suave hotel isn't on the Strip though either. Instead it's closer to other flashy properties on Industrial. Maybe something in your mind told you that would be a great place to build a tower. Uh huh....
Amazing,...The Donald thinks he's relevant
I have it on good authority, who says she's an insider, that Trump also got the current Pope elected by the College of Cardinals.
Sharron Angle told me this, so it must be true.
"I get up every morning and part the Red Sea!!!"...

Too funny, too ridiculous, too DUMB. Really, there are no words. This is the delusional world of Republican politics that we live in; and yet, somehow, these people think they can run a country. Amazing!
When Romney came to Las Vegas to accept "The Donald's" endorsement, he did not realize it was all about Trump and had nothing to do with him. Trump will turn on Romney, as he has others, if it suits his own publicity needs.
Vegas show!! See one filthy rich guy rubbing shoulders with another filthy richy rich, as the golden glitter sparkles in the air like fairy dust.
Is Mr. Trump also going to take "credit" when Mr. Romney is not elected President?
