Obviously, we are all waiting with bated breath to see who The Donald was planning on endorsing when he made an announcement that he'd be announcing something today. The early rumors, apparently leaked from the Gingrich camp, had it that he was endorsing Gingrich, but no--he went with Romney. I'd say this probably has a lot to do with the high probability that Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee, thus ensuring the appearance that Trump can pick winners once they've become fairly evident.
One might question why all the importance given to this particular endorsement, and why the big show with the flags and reporters and all in announcing it--why, in the above picture, those two wacky kids look nearly life-like! Well, I think Romney decided to accept this honor in person instead of by way of a thank you note on the good stationery because Trump Will Not Be Ignored. Just recently, there was talk of Trump getting his financial house in order regarding a possible third party run. A perceived snub (following on the rejection of the Trump-hosted debate) might be just the thing that pushed the storied ego into the ring.
Or maybe Trump threatened to not just endorse him, but even do some campaigning for him.
