Trump: Bachmann 'terrific,' but no endorsement during tele-town hall

Donald Trump ripped the Obama administration for its lack of leadership and predicted the president's health care reforms will be repealed either by Congress or the courts.
“It's too bad to let continue,” the New York real estate magnate and television personality said during a tele-town hall with 2012 Republican presidential hopeful Rep. Michele Bachmann. Left in place, Trump said, “It will help destroy the country.”
Trump, who briefly flirted with seeking the GOP nomination, demurred when asked if he would consider a Trump-Bachmann ticket.
“That's not why we're here tonight,” Trump said during a 45-minute question-and-answer session. However, he said, the Republicans running for the presidency are “a far cry from what we have in the White House.”
“What we have there has to go,” he said. “If it doesn't, we're in very, very serious trouble.”
