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.”

Candy Crowley had a secret plan, too.

Trump won’t be their problem child tonight.

[Sasparilla]

...Secret plan to deal with Donald...? Maybe he has a secret plan or two also...

Vegas odds are on Trump.

My guess is Motor Mouth Megyn will do more blabbering than everyone else combined.

[DungeonMaster]

Their rating would probably take a dive.

Press releases about Trump's possible behavior are intended to keep ratings up.

Being rude won’t go over well with the public and Trump is very adept at dealing with rude, hostile, and snobish press. Someone needs to put Kelly in her place. She’s really too full of herself and forgets at the end of the day she is simply a dumb blond hired by Fox for her good looks.

To be honest, if Trump dropped out I would have very little interest in watching. Jeb Bush and blabber-mouth Kasich for 90 minutes?

“Very unprofessional of Kelly to say that.”

Megyn is this decade’s answer to Paula Zahn — a Fox News lib bimbo.

Newsmax channel is much better.

I wish. Monica is Fox News’ best and most conservative female contributor. She does a fantastic job.

I wonder if he will end up pitching a fit and say that they are not being fair to him.

And any talk from here on after this debate about any potential third party candidacy (not saying there will be, but who knows) because some in the GOP aren’t being fair would be making this about him and not about the voters and America.

Megyn Kelly should have learned her lesson from trying to screw with Newt in the 2011 debate. He took her to the woodshed on the judiciary. Trump will give her a ghetto beatdown. :-)

[PoloSec]

That’s right there is no way this can an issue based debate, with only a few exceptions they all will be saying the same things, this is going to be a personality and appearance debate.

[Tucker39]

Dollars to dog turds, Trump is a perfect gentleman; and Baier & Co. slobber all over Yebbie, et al and bend the rules for THEM.

[Logical me]

Trump has got to realize that constant referring to his talking points without more detail will hurt him. For instance, I will build the fence and Mexico will pay for it. Constant repeating will bring doubt without more detail. This is the main problem Trump will have.

My hope is for Cruz but Trump is a hero. Beyond doubt.

Trump will rant and talk incoherently and not follow the rules of the debate.


I don't think so.

The Fox Debate is essentially the FIRST ROUND of a "Beauty Contest", with each contestant getting opportunity of about 10 minutes to screw up on national television.

Pure and simple.

Like the "Hunger Games" ... one gaffe, and you're dead.


So back to Donald Trump.

Of all the "contestants" who has the MOST experience with "beauty contests" ?

Donald Trump.

He understands the "event" PERFECTLY.

His opponents want him to rant and be a loud-mouth.

Good luck with that.

Trump is playing chess, they're playing checkers (except for Ted Cruz) ...

Probably cut his mike.

Look for The Donald to behave and cause no problems. Other than advance his argument with gusto.

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Oops!

Got me.

Candy Crowley would be the name I was looking for!

Thanks for the call out.

We no longer have Presidential campaigns.

This is just another of an endless series of reality programs.
