The first question of the debate tonight at the Republican Primary Debate 2015 for the 2016 election asked if any of the candidates would NOT pledge allegiance to the GOP candidate if they were not chosen. Donald Trump was the only one who raised his hand. He stated, “I want to win as the Republican” but went on to say that he would run as an Independent.

Rand Paul spoke up, stating, “He’s already hedging his bets because he’s used to buying politicians.”
The crowd also seemed to dislike Trump’s answer, booing disapproval.
