5 takeaways from the 11th Republican presidential debate

Donald Trump found himself under a withering attack during Thursday night's Republican presidential debate in Detroit involving the Republican presidential candidates.

Texas Senator Mr Cruz, with four states, and Florida Senator Mr Rubio, with one, will join Mr Trump on stage at 21:00 local time (02:00 GMT) after days of launching blistering attacks on the businessman. "Sometimes, he makes it a little bit hard, but, you know, I will support whoever is the Republican nominee for president". "Let me tell you something, Ted, the last person that Hillary Clinton wants to face is Donald Trump". He called Trump "a phony" and "a con man" who is "playing the American public for suckers", a man whose "imagination must not be married to real power".

Pressed on policy matters, Trump signaled a willingness to deal on any number of issues.

He also abruptly changed his position on foreign workers, saying more of them who are highly skilled should be allowed to remain in the United States.

"There's no question I'm going to do everything within the normal political bounds to make sure we don't nominate Donald Trump", Romney said on NBC's Today show. "I'm changing. We need highly skilled people in this country".

And he was matter-of-fact about providing campaign contributions to leading Democrats, including 10 checks to Hillary Clinton in her 2008 primary contest with Obama.

Mr Trump, asked if he would support the Republican nominee if it was someone other than him, seemed startled by the question given the momentum behind him, but eventually said: "Yes I will".

For the 48 percent or so of Republicans who indicate in polls that they do not support the candidacy of the current frontrunner, perhaps Kelly's risky maneuver to tangle with Trump, again, and risk the blowback from his online supporters paid off.

Trump responds to Romney's comments at rally
Romney says that Trump is a "phony" and predicts bombshells are contained in the billionaire's back taxes. Trump endorsed Romney in the 2012 race, and Romney happily accepted it.

Mr Trump said the workers were for a short November-to-March season. I have a very strong core.

In another exchange, Rubio faulted Trump's businesses for manufacturing clothing in China and Mexico rather than the U.S. Asked when he would start making more clothes in the U.S., Trump said that would happen when currency valuations weren't biased against manufacturing garments in America.

The debate took place hours after 2012 Republican nominee Romney gave a blistering speech about the dangers of choosing Trump. "So if there is anyone who has ever deserved to be attacked that way, it has been Donald Trump, for the way he has treated people in the campaign".

Trump, with 10 state victories, leads the field with 329 delegates.

Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly make nice at Republican debate
The debate in Detroit was the first since the tycoon's Super Tuesday success, and saw more personal attacks than previous ones . Trump noted that Rubio had mocked his hands as small, widely viewed as an insult about Trump's sexual prowess.
