An online report claims Donald Trump wants one of the moderators in Thursday night’s big presidential debate to remain, well, moderate.

According to a New York magazine report, Donald Trump, who is scheduled to appear center stage at the inaugural 2016 GOP debate, asked former Mayor Rudy Giuliani to reach out to Fox News channel CEO Roger Ailes, whose network is airing the event, to ask for a special favor.

Giuliani on Tuesday slammed the report — which said Team Trump feared taking a prime-time beating from moderator and Fox anchor Megyn Kelly — as “categorically, absolutely, one million percent false” in an interview with the Daily News.

1. Ah, I see that "moderate" is a meaningless term on the other team, too n/t

2. He wants to be President of the United States of America,

geez whiz, Trump needs to act like an well rounded adult. The office of the Presidency is not an easy job, just ask Pres O.

Asshole.

5. On my first stint working in NYC in the 80's, a native NYer friend took me around to show me how

to be a proper NYer, which was part of my job description at the time. My friend was like me, early 20's and unlike me, not generally concerned with politics. We had brekkie and the Pink Tea Cup, smoked a fattie in Sheep Meadow. A glorious day, just before the flood, our devices all our own.
And he kept showing me buildings that were ugly and built by Trump and buildings that were good looking that Trump wanted to replace and repeating this mantra: "To be a good NYer, you have to hate Donald Trump". The Sage of Westbeth as it turned out. Who knew?

9. Someone commented earlier

that she, being a very attractive woman, might trip him up. She can be formidable, and if he has a little bit of smarts, he will be careful to not appear like he is belittling the only woman at the event.

So he has three things to be concerned about with her: her beauty throwing him off, her going after him, and him being careful in how he responds to her. Can't wait.
