Trump Backs Romney Ahead of Nevada Caucus 
------------------------------------------



The Republican presidential contest is in full swing in Nevada ahead of
Saturday's caucus. On Thursday, Mitt Romney picked up an endorsement
from real estate mogul and reality television personality, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump: "Mitt is tough, he's smart, he's sharp, he's not going to
allow bad things to continue to happen to this country that we all love.
So Governor Romney, go out and get them, you can do it."

Mitt Romney: "There are some things that you just can't imagine
happening in your life, this is one of them. Being in Donald Trump's
magnificent hotel and having his endorsement is a delight. I'm so
honored and pleased to have his endorsement, of course, I'm looking for
the endorsement of the people of Nevada."

Initial reports had suggested Trump was set to back Romney's chief
rival, Newt Gingrich. The Nevada caucus is followed by votes next week
in Maine, Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri.
