Last month, reality-television personality Donald Trump reiterated his support for a ridiculous, borderline-racist conspiracy theory, but that didn't stop Mitt Romney from cozying up to him.
As of last night, the Republican presidential hopeful is still palling around with the guy. ABC News reported yesterday afternoon that the Romney campaign's "Dine With the Donald" luncheon had been postponed, but a Romney/Trump dinner last night in New York was not.
Although the lunch event was rain checked, tonight's dinner fundraiser at the private residence of Martin Zweig will go on as planned. The dinner -- which is reported to have raised millions of dollars and will host more than 50 guests -- starts at 6:30 p.m., at Zweig's residence in the Pierre Hotel, touted as one of the most expensive homes in Manhattan.
"Despite the multitude of erroneous reports today, I can assure you Mr. Trump and Gov. Romney both look forward to seeing one another this evening," Cohen added.
Of course they will.
Remember, in May, when reporters yesterday whether Trump's ugly antics gives him pause, Romney was unconcerned. "You know, I don't agree with all the people who support me and my guess is they don't all agree with everything I believe in," Romney said. "But I need to get 50.1% or more and I'm appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people."
In other words, decency is irrelevant -- the Republican presidential candidate should partner with anyone, no matter how vile, so long as it furthers his ambitions and gets him more votes.
As of last night, that still appears to be the case.

"In other words, decency is irrelevant..."
That's been the GOP rallying cry for the last decade! Yep, they sure do represent "family values" - if your "family" consists of a pack of hyenas!
What a country,two very,very,rich guy's begging for money.Are they wearing their dark sunglasses and have their tin cup's in hand?Why do'nt they just raffle off the Donald's hair?
I say utilize all the money spent on compaigning to wipe out the deficit! That's one way to get the country off it's knees after the past 16 years of the GOP and their bright ideas! If Americans continue to classify themselves as Democratic or Republicans instead of Americans, the vicious cycle in Washington will never end.
