Well, we all know how much money Gene Simmons has in his wallet, so this is maybe not a surprise:

Gene Simmons On The Republican Primary

Plus, we get to hear him utter the work "shmekel."

Mitt Romney today:

There are some things that you just can't imagine happening in your life — this is one of them.

Being in Donald Trump's magnificent hotel and having his endorsement is a delight.  I'm so honored and pleased to have his endorsement.
