Mitt Romney has unleashed the power of the Donald in Michigan.

The former Massachusetts governor's team is running robocalls in the state Wednesday that feature the voice of Donald Trump telling voters why they should cast their ballots for Romney in next week's GOP primary—or, more specifically, why they shouldn't do so for Rick Santorum.

ABC News has the script, which Trump reads in his characteristic half-yelling voice: "This is Donald Trump and I have to tell you that I’m tired of Rick Santorum pretending that he’s some kind of D.C. outsider," the reality star says, adding "Rick Santorum is completely entrenched in the Washington culture and he has been for decades." Trump also praises Romney, calling him the "outsider in the race."

Thankfully, for those of us not in Michigan, Politico has posted a recording of the call.

Trump has also been talking to Michigan radio stations in support of Romney, whom he endorsed last month.
