and we're doing everything we can to get people to get out and vote for him >> reporter: i asked josh romney if the family has booked rooms in cleveland for the convention and they said no, they haven't done that >>> thank you. there are long lines today as arizona voters went to the polls. add may joins us. do the lines play any role in what happens today? >> reporter: your guess is as good as mine. i've got tell you, the voting situation here in phoenix, arizona, has been an absolute disaster today. that's why we're only starting to see a few numbers coming in. it could be hours until we start to see some results. people have been waiting in line here more than two hours. all of this is the result of a cost-cutting measure that went into affect here. there were more than 200 different polling places here in 2008, but they cut that number down to 60. the result is these just horrible lines that people have been forced to stand in. i talked to so many voters today that they were going to turn away, they didn't have time, and there were issues with independence, trying to stand in those lines

i asked josh about why he is here, and the romneys are so involved. >> i think people realized the dangero the party and our country, people are railing behind senator cruz, who has the best chance to stop donald trump, and we are doing everything we can to get people to come out and vote for them. >> i asked mitt romney if there was a block of rooms with the name mitt romney on them. he said no, not yet anyway. >> all right, michael. talk to you at 11 o'clock. >> let's go to david shuster. arizona closed a few moments ago. no numbers so far, but there were very long lines. and there were issues because of it. >> expectations of the turn out is big. >> i want to know what locker rooms there are, the long lines took a lot of people by surprised, and heightened the importance and intrigue. let's look at what arizona looks like tonight. nothing reporting yet. keep in mind number 58. it is winner take all. let's hope donald trump wins. ted cruz behind that and by the way, because many voted in arizona, you may see as many as 10 or 15,000 votes go to marco rubio. if donald trump, whoever gets

josh rogin. good morning to you both. pretty grade school, fourth or fifth grade, stuff at some point. the day that donald trump had with romneyand the debate with both sides going after this guy. does this only confirm his position as the anti-establishment candidate and make his support stronger? josh? >> what you saw is the republican opponents going for the high road on the policy level and going for the low road. they are trying everything and nothing's worked. it reinforces the narrative. he is the victim and the establishment and media is out to get him. he keeps winning states. he is way ahead in michigan. he is up in ohio. he is up in florida. yes, the republican establishment has decided to get down in the mud with donald trump. it makes more the ridiculous scene where everyone's yelling at each other and the debate becomes funny and less substantial. there is no sign yet. we have to wait for the polls in a couple days. so far, no evidence that any of this is damaging donald trump. you can expect it to continue and they will keep trying to march 15th. >> the audience is part of this, too. i was struck that it sounded

that's why we were asking governor romney about it. his son josh was in the room today. close to governor romney and they tell me that there has been a lot of private urging that governor romney throw his name back into the hat, but i'm told that he has consistently said he doesn't mplan to or wan to. >> at this time. peter alexander, you covered him in 2012 so you know him better than anyone. you were with him every step of the way. i just would say as an observer and who spent some time with him, off camera, that i would not rule anything out this year. we have heard from john mccain who has been tweeting and put out a statement, saying that donald trump's uninformed and indeed dangerous position os national security issues have been raised by foreign defense and policy issues. we heard from a close trump advisor, the gop machine at work, classic mitt is very bitter. thank you, mitt. we are going to hear from them as well. but doug, the other point that republicans have been telling me behind the scenes is they think it's been too little, too late. is it too late? you
