On the same day that 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney called him a dangerous phony, Donald Trump's rivals acknowledged in a debate last night that they would support him for president if he becomes the party's nominee.

Jesse Holland of the Associated Press and Rebecca Sinderbrand of The Washington Post join Here & Now's Robin Young and Peter O'Dowd to discuss what yesterday's extraordinary day in politics means for the Republican Party, and what to expect from Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in their next debate Sunday night.
