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 nights Republican presidential debate.
Listen, hes going to be treated like everybody else, Baier said. Were 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 wont 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 were not going to share it with you.

Why would an impartial moderator have to "deal with Trump". Sounds like they are out to nullify him.
There will be 10 “debaters”...right? 10...this won’t be a debate. ..I’m only going to watch because Trump is there...not expecting much
I have never seen such blatant attacks on Presidential candidates TRUMP and CRUZ by the “Fair and Balanced” FOX NEWS. Their true colors are showing and VOTERS ARE NOT COLOR BLIND.
Oh please, this is Fox News, they hope he acts crazy. The crazier the better. Fox loves all things sensational. They’d love it if he started hitting the other candidates, or offering them $5 million to drop out. Or maybe he could switch parties twice during the debate or change his name to Caitlin. Fox would love it all.
Monica definitely needs to skip all family reunions.
Is Fox News next?
Thank you.
Simple, effective and - considering Trump - possibly necessary.
Yeah, you would....
..not a little prejudice, are ya
Surprisingly, tinmouth, you make a coherent point. This “debate” is really Fox News’s entertainment show and they will not permit Trump to steal the limelight. Well done.
If I were Trump, I'd bring my own food and beverages as well as watch every step. Just my 2 cents.
Didn’t you mean .....Candy Crowley
Does this involve hidden trap doors?
That would certainly give a new meaning to ‘dropping out of the race’!
The snotty little beotch is licking her chops to bring Trump down. She’s so pleased with herself. Trump has people, and they are aware of what the creeps are up to.
Yep. Trump will NOT be super bombastic (which they probably are hoping he is for ratings). Instead, Trump will be polite and attack the media, democrats, and gov’t in general. He will only attack the other candidates IF they attack him first. And he will use his response time to make sure he attacks them back per the rules...if they get mentioned they can get 30 seconds to respond (I believe).
So the other candidates would be wise to not attack Trump.
A good strategy for Trump would be to have several people attack him so that he can speak more...each attack is 30 more seconds :-)
A real debate is a no holds bar format and you either are quick and to the point or your out. I would love to see a free for all.
[Is Fox News next?]
Fox News is becoming the “Fair and Balanced” Dixie Chicks.
He could also add, “read my books.”
Excellent approach to nip their “secret plan” it in the bud...
