| Donald Trump has come under attack from all sides in a fiery debate between the top Republican presidential candidates in the 2016 election. | |
| The party's frontrunner, a billionaire businessman with no political experience, refused to apologise over comments about the wife of Jeb Bush. | |
| And he was on the receiving end when Carly Fiorina drew huge applause facing up to his recent jibe over her looks. | |
| Fifteen Republicans are vying to be the party's White House nominee in 2016. | |
| With more than a year until polling day, the second Republican debate in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California saw Mr Bush and Mr Trump trading blows several times. | |
| Their most notable clash came when the former Florida governor demanded the tycoon apologise to his wife for saying he was weak on immigration because she is Mexican. Mr Trump refused. | |
| But the loudest audience response of the night came when Ms Fiorina was asked about an interview in which Trump said she could not be president because "Look at that face". | |
| She replied, to thunderous applause: "I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr Trump said." | She replied, to thunderous applause: "I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr Trump said." |
