Donald Trump says "I'm ready, I'm absolutely ready" to face Megyn Kelly at Thursday's Republican debate. The two have not spoken since the day they clashed at a debate last August.
Fox isn't calling it a rematch, but everyone else is. The face-off is expected to be one of the highest-rated GOP debates of the season thus far. In a pre-debate interview with Reuters, Kelly said, "Frankly, I have been ready for seven months to move beyond what happened after that August debate. I feel like it's getting boring. Trump has bigger things to worry about, and so do I."
Kelly told Reuters that she hasn't come up with a comeback or a way to corral Trump in the event he insults her.
"I have my questions," she said. "That's all I need." One of her co-moderators, Bret Baier, similarly told The Wrap that "we haven't gamed that out." "Megyn, as I've said many times, is a big girl and can handle herself. We'll be sitting next to her and would obviously step in if needed, but it's never needed," he said.
What Baier wants, he said, is a headline the next morning that says "Fiery but substantive debate." The debate begins at 9 p.m. Eastern time on Fox News. Chris Wallace is the third moderator and Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich are the other debaters.

Trump’s got just three words for Fox News. Er......you stink.
Sure looks it. Bottom line....Cruz can be bought.
“Cruz getting GHWBush operatives now.”
2nd report confirming this. My worst fears seem to be coming to fruition. I hate to see Ted going over to the dark side.
Is there a way to get either this thread or another thread on the Breaking News sidebar as the official live debate thread for tonight?
Thanks.
Or that phony KKK issue created by the media.
If I were advising DJT.
Canned line ready for tonight’s debate.
Setup:
Marco spouts ANY off his standard repetitive attack lines: i.e.
Dvaid Duke, Daddy gave him 200 mil, etc......
Trump responds.
Marco repeats the attack.
Trump Response: Marco, I’ve repeated that answer (for whatever repeated attack by Marco) to you once already but you can’t seem to hear me.
(Trump reaches in his pocket and pulls out a Q-Tip and offers it to Marco..)
Trump: Here Marco, you might try this...you might still have some of that foam in your ears.....
Trump just pulls out the Q-Tip and non-verbally “offers the Q-Tip” to Marco EVERY TIME he tries the repetitive attacks on already answered Trump questions for the rest of the debate....
That should make him shut up.....
So, is the debate about our candidates OR the hot blonde chick from FOX?
Can't stand that broad anymore so will give tonight a pass..........
I was thinking about a pocket full of condoms...........but you're probably right.
[Cruz getting GHWBush operatives now.]
Someone has to get them. Better CRUZ than RUBIO or KASICH.
It’s all about the delegate count.
That would be funny.
Why would that be a surprise? Cruz was himself a Bush operative in 2000.
Yes and Donald should also lament that Mitt can’t be at the debate tonight seeing as how he seems to now be running. :-)
(Is Cruz about to Jump the Shark and join with the RNC in their anti Trump political war?)
ABOUT to??? He already did 2 or 3 debates ago!
Getting ready for some serious political theater. This will be fun!
Oh God... I have to put up with her tonight?
Attacking Trump on issues during a debate is one thing, siding with Romney is another.
We shall see tonight.
“Brett Baier...Why does a debate have to be “fiery”???
What’s wrong with “informative”???”
Fox News is an entertainment network, not a journalistic enterprise. Any real information is only incidental.
Well, but he has not been taking money from the RNC and their superpacs. He has, at least to me, been relying on contributions from individuals from the more Libertarian and evangelical based Conservatives, not much on donors with long standing ties to the RNC or RNC superpacs.
I know he has some support from Texas Republicans but I don’t see that as establishment RNC. More of Texas Republicans helping Texas Republicans.
Rubio seemed to be the guy that took the deal and orders from the RNC, got tons of money from them, and the RNC pacs got behind to go after Trump. I think Cruz may have privately agreed with Rubio to tear down Trump, but I don’t think Cruz was in the meetings with the RNC and RNC superpac Donors that Rubio was
