Asked whether it’s better to be loved or feared, GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump said he’d choose respect.

“Well, I’d rather be respected than both. You want to be respected, and I think that’s what’s happened,” Mr. Trump said on Monday evening’s “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News.

“And that’s why I’m by far the number one front-runner,” he said. “We have [Ted] Cruz left, but by far the number one. I think the word respect is maybe the best of all in terms of leadership.”
