Fox Debate Hosts Already Have a Secret Plan to Deal with Donald Trump
Mediaite ^ | 5 Aug 2015 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 08/05/2015 7:34:19 AM PDT by mandaladon

In an interview with Politico, Fox News hosts Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly, and Chris Wallace revealed they already have a plan if Donald Trump refuses to obey the rules of Thursday night’s Republican presidential debate.

“Listen, he’s going to be treated like everybody else,” Baier said. “We’re going to treat every candidate the same. 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.”

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

But Kelly said they had a plan if Trump refused to stop talking. “We have a plan, but we’re not going to share it with you.”

“More bias blathering on about if Trump breaks the rules—when he’s done no such thing.”

You are exactly correct!

This really makes me angry. What’s the plan if OTHERS don’t follow the rules? Why single out Trump?

I am hating FOX more and more every day.

They might as well come out and say they have already chosen Bush.

To think that there was a time when I thought she *had* to be better than Bill O’Reilly.

How can they moderate fairly when they are obviously biased against Trump?

Obama guard dog Fx News is demonizing Trump imo.

Megyn Kelly has lost all journalistic credibility

she is now just another soccer Mom liberal piece of eye candy with a way too much inflated opinion of herself

I understand that when she got snotty, Ted Cruz treated her like a cat toy. A boring cat toy.

“Trump has a way of having the most effective stand up deliverence since G Carlin”

This is funny. And so true.

Breitbart has the story that the Bush and Hillary are funded by the same big donors.

These are not even real journalists or reporters. These work for an ENTERTAINMENT division of Fox. They are just glorified readers.


Who is a real journalist these days? There’s no such thing.

I wish Trump would watch some of Newt’s debates. When he was on fire, he was awesome!

The moderators aren’t really interested in detail and policy. They want sound bites and gotcha questions, so they can air them 24/7 for weeks on end. That is their ultimate goal. Why else would Megyn be licking her chops? She sees big ratings for her show.

Trump is going to attack the fraud.

Newt did well on this that and the other thing.

But we need honesty - that’s what Trump is.

How does it feel to be on the same side of an issue as the Drive by Media? Megyn and the rest of the MSM love guys like you.

What a tool!

No, I mean he has to be measured.

My favorite line from the SNL parody of the first Bush-Gore debate was when the moderator (Chris Parnell) asked Bush (Will Ferrell) a question, and Gore (Darrell Hammond) jumps in and says "I'd like to answer that question as if it were directed to me..."

Trump should be Trump, but he needs to be able to answer within the time limits, and not interrupt the others while they are answering during their time allotments, that's all.

Obama, like Gore, constantly sighed and muttered while others were speaking. Trump doesn't want the post-debate coverage to be about boorish behaviors; he wants it to be about the substance of his answers.

One of the best ways is to cut his mic if & when he starts to run away at the mouth....

If they cut off his mic then just stick the crown on him...he's won the election.

A better debate moment than "I will not exploit, for political purposes, my opponents youth and inexperience"

As good as "I paid for this microphone!"
