CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Donald Trump was the centre of attention at a testy first Republican presidential debate on Thursday, drawing boos from the crowd and a rebuke from a rival when he refused to rule out an independent White House bid and bristled at questions about his attitudes towards women.

With 10 Republicans vying for air time in the two-hour debate, the candidates at times turned on one another rather than direct their fire towards Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton or President Barack Obama.
