Anticipating another appearance on a debate stage with Donald Trump, Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly says their public feud hasn't affected her preparation and she doesn't expect a renewal of hostilities with the Republican presidential front runner.
Kelly, who is moderating Thursday's debate with colleagues Bret Baier and Chris Wallace, said Trump was more in her head before the GOP debate prior to the Iowa caucuses, which he ultimately boycotted.
"I think he's much more focused on securing the nomination now and not on me, and that's how it should be," Kelly said. Thursday's debate, the 11th among Republicans, will be held at Detroit's Fox Theater from 9 to 11 p.m. EST.
Kelly's questioning angered Trump during the first GOP debate last August, most prominently when he was confronted with some of his past comments about women. He responded harshly, and skipped Fox's Iowa debate when the network refused to remove Kelly as moderator. Ted Cruz beat Trump in Iowa.

I really hope Trumps boycotts that debate as well...That would be a fun debate as well...They have nothing to debate...They all agree with each other...
Always amazing how proud some people are to show their ignorance...congratulations!
No, he knows he has a real shot. If he wins Ohio and Florida, the prize is his.
“For once I agree with her. Trump did not respond to the penis issue which was good. His speech last night was very good.”
Actually he did, just in a very tasteful way...remember, he remarked about his hands...Rubio had related the size of Trumps hands to his penis...
I thought his speech and his handling of the media was excellent. Trump was gracious, very smart as usual, and calm, very Presidential. Cruz and Rubio of course made asses of themselves with distortions and lies trying their best to defame this good American patriot.
I’m doing the same thing. Newsmax has good news, conservative people and journalistic smarts. They are up front about backing TRUMP, but that’s good because I know exactly where they are coming from. Glad you mentioned Newsmax!!
Since I detest Ms Megan, I’ll just read about it here.
Trumps has only a quarter of what he needs to win. Now he has to show he has more than the Globe Trotter style and can play like Michael Jordan.
An attack from Rubio? Simply say, I dispute that. Ignore Rubio and turn immediately to an attack on Hillary.
Don't mention Rubio's AT ALL so he doesn't get the response time "because my name was mentioned."
Do this over and over and over.
It makes the others seem insignificant, and all the after-debate clips will be of him firing at the beast.
That's what I have been saying...he should just issue a statement saying that the debates have turned into petty arguments and name calling and are not worth his time.
My guess is skipping would gain him even more support.
I like that strategy.
Yep! Bloody Megyn: “Britt....BRITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! Wake your old wrinkled azz up! Right...Freakin’...NOW damn it!!!!! Go get me my morning coffee and a bagel”. Britt Hume: “Yes Dear...anything you say dear...I’m on my way but....please stop hitting me!!!!!”
Most of you know I'm a Trump supporter, and I acknowledge that I have bias.
But Cruz did not come off well after Trump's speech/presser.
I know the speech was prepared in advance and there wasn't time to adjust, but after Trump's congratulatory statement and acknowledgement of how hard Ted had worked... well, Cruz came off as small.
Yes, Trump needs to say the debates have turned into 3 ring circuses and he has chosen to not get involved. He really does need to skip the debate.....if MeAgain Kelly is moderator, the ratings will not be good.
I will not watch if MeAgain is moderator.
Agree and it would stick it to Fox News.
I’ll take the KKK in the first 9 minutes. You know she’s not going to let this die no matter how many times he has to deny supporting them. It’s not like he went out of his way with a gold invitation to endorse him. Anything to take him down. If nothing else, this proves he’s a leader who won’t back down.
“But Cruz did not come off well after Trump’s speech/presser.”
I agree, Cruz came off as crass and belligerent. On the other hand Donald Trump came off as very Presidential...
“How many times must the bimbo occupy center stage? Is she running for office?”
Exactly. Someone needs to tell the moderators that they aren’t the story. They should be anonymous. The debates should be about the candidates and the voters. Period.
Bias removed -- by inserting a single letter, and changing one other letter. The Trump comments referred to were directed at a single (alleged) woman. It's so easy to bias "news" that most people don't even notice it.
Nice to see Dan Akryord chiming on this ROFL
Yeah I was thinking of same thing
