Trump: Hurricane Sandy gonna help Obama "a lot"

On CNBC, Trump just said:

“I think it would have absolutely been Mitt Romney except for the Hurricane,” Trump said of Tuesday’s election. “I think the Hurricane has had a profound effect and it’s going to help President Obama a lot.”

is because of Sandy?

Yeah, okay... lol Sandy was just the icing on the cake and a chance to see a real thinker and real doer in action who can put aside their differences and come together as one to help the greater good. Compared to the totally inept moron that Bush was when handling disasters here at home and cared more about photo ops and saving his own ass then the people of the United States.

We had it in the bag if it weren't for Sandy. Romney was THIS close to firing Obummer if it weren't for the storm.

And of course Demrats stole the rest.

It was always going to play out this way. Romney decided a long time ago that he was willing to lie about anything. The straw that broke the camel's back was not the storm, but one lying bridge too far with his outrageous claim about Jeep.

The storm certainly locked it in a week earlier, but it didn't change anything fundamental.

It's the first time he's basically been willing to admit that Obama may win.
