During his speech he critiqued Foreign Policy plan. Did he call on voters to vote for anybody but trump. He did not endorse anyone today. Our 9news political speech is not sure romneys speech changed any of trumps supporters minds. I think the question is whether romney is the best spokesperson for all those issues. The thing is theres no real better indicator of what the establishment think than what mitt romney thinks because he was our candidate four years ago and so the reality is that all of this is a function not just of the message, but also of the messenger. So i question whether or not romney was the best person to donald trump responded to romneys speech this afternoon calling the speech irrelevant and said that he was a failed candidate. Trump argued this morning on msnbc he will unify, not divide the republican party. There is another gop debate tonight in detroit. The candidates will have more room on the stage.
