Donald Trump tonight refused to pledge his support for the eventual Republican presidential nominee -- unless it’s him -- earning him boos from the audience at the first GOP debate.
“I can totally make that pledge if I’m the nominee,” he said when Fox News host Bret Baier asked candidates whether they would promise to support whoever clinches the nomination.
But, “I will not make the pledge at this time,” Trump said, as the audience booed.
The real estate mogul instead reserved the right to run as a third-party candidate.
Though he said he can “fully understand” the ramifications –- a third-party candidacy would possibly give Democrats the edge -– he refused to grant his competitors that "leverage."
“I want to win as the Republican," he said. "I want to run as the Republican nominee."
