If anyone believed Donald Trump would be any different in Thursday night’s Republican presidential debate, they were dead wrong. The Donald was his boastful, pugilistic, funny, and entertaining self, starting from the very first question of the night.
The debate’s only “raise your hand” question asked the 10 candidates if any were “unwilling tonight to pledge your support to the eventual nominee of the Republican party and pledge to not run an independent campaign against that person.” Without flinching, Trump raised his hand, eliciting a round of boos from the GOP crowd in Cleveland. Moderator Bret Baier made sure he understood. “You can’t say tonight that you can make that pledge?” Baier asked. Trump’s response wasn’t exactly clear, but it was classic Trump: rambling and contradictory.
