Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump revealed his biggest concern in his supposed negotiations with networks hosting the GOP primary debates.

He wants the thermostat set at something comfortable.

"I don't really care that much. I've enjoyed the debates. I've done well in the debates, obviously," Trump said in a radio interview Thursday on Breitbart News Daily. " I don't really care that much other than I would like it to be, like, you know, 70 degrees in the room."

The Washington Post reported Monday that Trump had broken with his Republican rivals to negotiate directly with the TV networks that are hosting the debates. The report came in light of a meeting among the campaigns of several Republican candidates who have complained that previous debate moderators and formats have been unfair.
