Trump political rivals
during the presidential debate did not hesitate to tear him apart verbally, the
eleven candidates, selected on the basis of recent polls, went head-to-head at
the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
Senator Rand Paul said Mr
Trump's habit of hurling personal insults made him "worried to have
someone like that in charge of the nuclear arsenal".
Mr Trump hit back, saying:
"I never attacked him on his look, and believe me, there's plenty of
subject matter right there."
The mudslinging didn't end
there. Mr Trump threw a jibe at Jeb Bush, saying he liked that he was
"showing energy", having previously said that he lacked it.
Former Hewlett Packard CEO
Carly Fiorina gave a strong performance with detailed answers on foreign policy
and powerful attacks on Hillary Clinton's achievements.
She attacked Mr Trump's
business acumen, reminding the millions of viewers that he filed for bankruptcy
four times.
"You ran up mountains
of debt, as well as losses, using other people's money. Why should we trust you
to manage the finances of this nation?"
Earlier they bickered over
Mr Trump's recent insult to Ms Fiorina, saying people might not vote for her
because of her face.
"I think women all
over this country heard very clearly what Mr Trump said," she said.
Mr Trump's reply got a more
muted response: "I think she's got a beautiful face, and I think she's a
beautiful woman."
Mr Trump also sparred with
former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, with Mr Bush hitting back at criticism of his
brother George's presidency by saying: "One thing about my brother - he
made us safe."
