GOP Chairman Reince Priebus said he doesn’t expect Donald Trump to bolt the party and seek the presidency as an independent despite the businessman’s assertion in Thursday’s Republican debate that he might.

Trump is under fire for saying Friday night that Kelly, who pressed him on his previous attacks on women during Thursday night’s GOP presidential debate, had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her – wherever”. “And when you’re negative on women’s health, you can forget about it”, Trump said.
Republican candidates Carly Fiorina, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and George Pataki denounced his comments about Kelly on Twitter or in statements. “No. Excuse” and voicing her support for Kelly.

Trump showed he could receive a punch, facing many tough questions from the moderators on Fox News that cited his outlandish comments and his business history. “Only a deviant would think anything else”.

The real estate mogul and television personality, who remains ahead of his 16 rivals in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, appeared on Sunday news shows to rebut the outrage triggered by his off-the-cuff talk. “As a party, we are better to risk losing without Donald Trump than trying to win with him”. Trump made three of the four references to Mexico.
Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor seemed exasperated at RedState, at one point snapping at reporters after being asked several Trump-related questions.
“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even be talking about illegal immigration, Chris”. How about dealing with (Russian President Vladimir) Putin? Taking on China and Mexico, redoing trade deals to bring jobs back to the country. “This is nothing”, he said.
