Romney on Trump: "His promises are worthless."

Mitt Romney got the political world's attention for a few minutes Thursday morning when he gave what he had announced would be a "major speech" on the state of the 2016 canpaign.   It was, in fact, an attempt to stop Donald Trump. 
"Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. . . .  His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House, and all we get is a lousy hat."

Romney added that Trump's "domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill." 

The question is whether this attack from Romney will hurt Trump -- or even help him solidify his support from the growing crowd of people who are as angry at the Republican establishment as they are at the Democrats.   Romney is certainly one of that group who has failed to do what the Trump backers want:  "Take back our country and make it great again."   Romney had his chance and failed.   So who is he to criticize Trump? [Other than the fact that he is right, of course, in what he says about Trump.]
