it's not a huge event. but i think it does interrupt and disrupt that story line and i think in that sense, it matters. it also took all the attention off the gaffe that romney made yesterday. >> bret: one last thing, the gingrich campaign, while newt gingrich seemed to not care, the gingrich campaign put out a statement, including some quotes from trump about romney recently, told greta back in august, quote, i wasn't in love with the job he did in massachusetts. he wasn't popular. he was a one-term governor. he didn't have high approval ratings. so they're putting out some quotes, a.b. >> and donald trump's own staff was saying a few days ago, he might run on his own. he wasn't endorsing mitt -- he spent supporting mitt romney five days ago. that's why it just doesn't really carry that much weight. >> he was supporting newt gingrich as other as today. i think what happened is they had these negotiation down to the last minute and trump finally said, i'll pick you.
