Donald Trump said Thursday that he's been impressed by Mitt Romney's debate prowess and believes he could easily beat President Obama in November, as he explained his expected endorsement of the former Massachusetts governor. The real estate mogul is expected to make his support for Romney official Thursday afternoon in Las Vegas. He spoke briefly with reporters beforehand, and said that even though he "never knew" Romney before the race began, he's come to know him in recent months. "His general attitude and the last two debates were very impressive," Trump said. He also cited Romney's position on China, calling the former Massachusetts governor "the one person who continually mentions China and OPEC." The endorsement comes after Romney soundly defeated Newt Gingrich in the Florida Republican presidential primary on Tuesday, and ahead of Nevada's caucuses this Saturday. Polls show Romney with a significant lead in the upcoming contest. Earlier reports had claimed Trump was planning on endorsing Gingrich at Thursday's event. But sources close to the Romney campaign confirmed to Fox News Thursday morning that the real estate mogul would back Romney. It's not clear whether the endorsement can yield a bump for Romney. A Fox News poll last month suggested the reality TV star and businessman could do a candidate more harm than good. In the poll, 27 percent said his endorsement would make them less likely to support a candidate. Only 10 percent said Trump's support would make them more likely to vote for a candidate. For most people, the endorsement would make no difference. Trump flirted with the idea of a Republican presidential run last year, before bowing out. But he also has declined to rule out the possibility of a third-party run. However, Trump said Thursday that if Romney is the nominee, he will not make a third-party run for the presidency.
