Clip: 3/3/2016 | 4m 29s

Former Mass. governor and 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney called Trump “a phony”.

Following Donald Trump’s sweeping wins on Super Tuesday, Republican leaders lit into the frontrunner from all sides in a desperate attempt to blunt his momentum. The most prominent criticism came a few hours prior to Thursday night’s debate, when former Massachusetts governor and 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney called Trump “a phony” who is “playing the American public for suckers.”
