he failed horribly. scott: tonight trump faces off with cruz nd kasich in a debate in detroit. michelle: you are the chief political correspondent so you have been spending time on the campaign trail examining the issues at hand here. first, there has been nothing like this before in terms of a wild campaign. but when you look at romney's remarks today and his critique, one is he the wrong messenger? and two, is it too little too late at this point? scott: you talk about never seeing anything like it before. we have seen past candidates wants to go after a potential nominee. michelle: right. scott: never so public discredit one, not in the recent history as we saw with mitt romney trying to discredit every single issue. it is too little too late? he is speaking to an audience that already made up their mind. there are very few people that are already supporters who hear mitt romney rem my mind. michelle: so romney strategy could backfire and get the base riled up. scott: he is seen as the establishn't in many eyes so if you on the border or already agree with trump you see romney as the other washington politicians you are not going to listen to. i think the divide is so strong it's already been made for romney, his remarks aren't going to do much in that favor. michelle: another day, another twist. we have to wait to see what tomorrow will bring us. trying to fill a
