“Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud”, Romney said in a speech in Utah, as he urged voters to support one of the remaining candidates.

But what if Trump does?
Rubio fired back: “You ask him a question about the economy and the first thing he does is go into the “little guy” thing”, Rubio said. Trump refused to release the tape but said he would be flexible, for instance, on the height of the wall.
Rubio justified his attacks on Trump by saying the billionaire businessman had “basically mocked everybody” over the past year. The debate stages are getting less crowded, with the Detroit debate featuring Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich.
With Ben Carson’s exit from the race this week, the field of Republican candidates has now been narrowed to four, including Texas Sen. “He’s like 6’2″, which is why I don’t understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5’2”, Rubio said in Virginia Sunday.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich made it unanimous.
This plan has been bandied about for months, and largely dismissed as destructive to the party, alienating a huge number of Trump voters, and an nearly sure-fire way to ensure Hillary Clinton wins. “But, um, I think there’s a better choice out there”, Romney said. Trump countered with a feint, saying he’d called Rubio a “lightweight” in the past but “he’s really not that much of a lightweight”.
But at the end of the debate, Trump could still smile and point to the fact that he’s won 10 of the 15 primary contests so far and has a commanding lead in delegates as he marches toward the party’s nomination. “I guarantee you”, said Trump.
But other candidates, including Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, followed suit in Thursday night’s debate and the people who work in politics in this state says it’s bad for all us.
FOREIGN WORKERS Rubio pressed Trump on the foreign workers he has imported to work at his Palm Beach resort, jobs he said could go to Americans.
“If there’s anyone who’s ever deserved to be attacked that way, it was Donald Trump”.
The debate was held in Detroit, sponsored by Fox News Channel and moderated by Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Wallace.
Mr Trump’s remarks, likely unprecedented in a U.S. presidential debate, appeared as the nadir of a campaign season already notable for its provocative and assaulting tone.
