    I don’t see the Trump endorsement as much of a surprise. Rich men cotton to rich men, and the two of them like to act as if our economic problems stem in large part from China’s success.

    More to the point, however, is that Mitt, coming off a big victory and heading into likely win in Nevada, is by conventional wisdom a safe choice. It’s important to Trump’s ego to back a winner, and Newt looks highly questionable at present.

    There’s another factor. Trump is the type of guy who likes to be begged, which Gingrich has done plenty of. A bonus for him is to lead the beggar on, then dump him. Isn’t this how The Apprentice often works?

    Newt made an error by looking needy, and now Romney has made an error by showing a fawning attitude toward Trump, whose endorsement is unlikely to increase Romney’s vote total by a fraction of a percent, and whose backing might well hurt in the long run.
