*''"...I want to run as a Republican, not a third-party independent. I want to run as a Republican. As long as I’m treated fairly that is going to be a case. And fairly is an instinct. It’s an instinct. I know what fair is, you know what fair is. I know what it is, yeah, and I think that is happening. And by the way, win, lose or draw, I’m not just saying I have to win. Now I guarantee you this if I win the Republican nomination, I guarantee you all sitting there, I will not run the third party candidate, do you agree?”'' <ref>][http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/08/11/trump-i-was-the-establishment-two-months-ago/ TRUMP: ‘I WAS THE ESTABLISHMENT’ TWO MONTHS AGO, August 11, 2015]</ref>
