Mitt Romney to fly to Vegas and -- be there on the podium when when mr.
trump endorsed -- And interestingly though.
Romney took an endorsement from John Huntsman but wasn't there when that happened he took one from Rick Perry -- -- believe he wasn't there for that when either because they're not Donald Trump exactly.

On he was extremely excited and more than that he's -- mr.

To come out onto the road with him that's one -- mr.

Active member admits campaign one about an active member of a Romney presidency.
You know wasn't discussed.
I don't know mr.
trump has pretty much a fabulous life I don't know if he would want to give it up.
For any type of the position.
Other than of course the presidency but now of course being that he's endorsed Mitt Romney.
He will not be running as a third party outlets are awarded season -- you're you're there you're you're with that man quite -- -- -- government like Dave can you say -- like I got -- right here.
What about a BP we take that.
You know it wasn't discussed I don't know.
That would really be between mr.
trump and the governor.
It would be very cool cabinet I -- -- -- Mr.
trump Donald is is is brilliant when it comes to -- the whole energy field people -- lets not forget these are coming with China right to come -- with Iran.
That consumers and and Donald Trump was the first person to actually attack Barack Obama.
I his seat packed.
Statement when he came and spoke foresee -- about 810 months ago.
He talked about China he talked about OPEC to talk about where the United States is going and -- economically with falling apart.
And I think that's what resonates with people so yeah I mean look if down the road.
God willing make ends up becoming the president and we end up being able to put this country backward needs to be and they lost for Donald Trump something.
That would be between the two of them got -- Michael Cohen thank you so much for joining residents the help if -- like you.
