My mother always said that the company you keep speaks volumes about your character...or lack of it. It looks like Trump and Romeny are a match made from the bottom of a garbage pail.

Excellent post. I wanted to rep you but couldn't.
I agree with all of those on this thread who point out that a candidate might not have a whole lot of control over who endorses him, but they sure have control over who they choose to appear at events with, and who they allow to throw fundraisers for them. Romney has had no problem standing beside Trump on the stage and using his name to raise money. The fact that he has never once denounced Trump for his ongoing birther blather speaks volumes about Mr. Romney's character, of lack thereof. McCain showed how it could be done with class and integrity--two traits that Romney proves, by his silent acquiescence, he completely lacks.
