Megyn Kelly Says Fox News Hosts Have Secret Plan If Donald Trump Doesn't Play BY Debate Rules

In preparation for the GOP debate Thursday night, the moderators say that when it comes to Donald Trump, they have a plan.

Fox News hosts and debate moderators Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace spoke with Politico about the preparation that has gone into the debate that will feature 10 Republican presidential candidates — the most candidates to ever have appeared in a primary debate. But despite the vast number of candidates hoping to shine Thursday, one is particularly unpredictable.

Trump has said he is “not looking to attack” his opponents during the debate and would like to “just discuss the issues,” but in the chance that he doesn’t follow the rules or refuses to stop talking, Kelly says they’ve got it covered.

“We have a plan, but we’re not going to share it with you,” Kelly told Politico.

Baier also assured Politico that Trump would be treated exactly the same as any other candidate.

“Everybody is going to know all the rules going in; there is going to be a sound at the end of their time — it won’t be a pleasant sound,” Baier said.

“Are we thinking about different scenarios? Sure,” he said. “Our job is to make sure everybody plays by the rules.”

The debate will air at 9 p.m. Thursday on Fox News.

Their plan is to make Bush look as good as possible and to minimize Cruz, Trump and Walker.

Megyn Kelly is a media whore willing to do anything to make a name for herself.

Agree; wouldn't be surprised if they have coordinated with Jeb "Act of Love" Bush.

Secret plan?

It’s called a MICROPHONE OFF SWITCH.

Been around since - well - since microphones.

What’s the big secret about that?
