Washington : Republican frontrunner and real estate tycoon Donald Trump has not ruled out running the 2016 US presidential elections as an independent if he fails to bag the nomination of the party, reports PTI.

 Trump, who is leading the crowded Republican party presidential nominee by a sizeable margin, was the only candidate during the prime time debate for top 10 Republican candidates yesterday to refuse to pledge that he would back the party nominee and not run for president as an independent if he loses the party primary.       “I cannot say,” said Trump being the only candidate on the podium in Cleveland, Ohio to raise his hand when the Fox News hosts asked who would not pledge to support the eventual party nominee. “I will not make the pledge at this time,” the business tycoon from New York said, to loud boos and jeers from the crowd.
