There’s been a lot of speculation over whether Donald Trump – who leads the Republican field for the nomination for president of the United States, might split from the GOP. Now Trump is saying, he’ll stay. So long as he’s treated fairly.

Which, of course, leaves open the option for a third party run.
Trump also brought up the tough questions he was asked during the first Republican debate. And actually credited Rosie O’Donnell for saving him from one.

What of his earlier comments about the Mexican people. Well, during his speech in Birch Run, Michigan, he actually gave credit to them as well.
