Donald Trump continued to dominate the Republican race for United States president by causing further controversies in the first debate.
The tycoon’s refusal to rule out a third-party run drew boos from the audience on Thursday night, the BBC reports.
And he stood by offensive comments he has made in the past about women.
The 10 candidates in Cleveland, selected by Fox News on the basis of recent national polls, provided a frank and bruising exchange of views.
Mr. Trump stumbled on his past support for a national healthcare system but his most uncomfortable moment came when moderator Megyn Kelly challenged him on his views about women.
“You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals,” she said.
He answered by joking that he only said that about actress Rosie O’Donnell and stating that political correctness was one of the country’s biggest problems.
