Donald Trump Just Said He Is Totally Committed To The Republican Party
December 15, 2015
A growing fear in the Republican party is whether or not Donald Trump would ever think about jumping ship and running as a third-party, independent candidate in the 2016. It would potentially split the Republican voter base and judging by the current polls, take a good chunk out of the GOP votes in the election.
Donald Trump just claimed to put those fears to bed with a proclamation that he is "totally committed to the Republican party."

He has in the past pledged to support the Republican party but today on the national stage was the first time he made such a commitment at the debate. The GOP can rest easy for now.
