She KNEW better. All three of the moderators knew better, frankly. They had the opportunity to showcase the strengths of each of the 10 candidates in how they comport to the platform of the party (or even the embattled conservatives of the party) they represent in this contest to come, and they chose cheesy tabloid sensationalism designed to create ratings for Fox and, more importantly, enhance their own personal ‘numbers’.
To any rational, thinking person concerned about this country, that debate by Fox was an abject disgrace, and Megyn Kelly is the symbol of it. Fie on you, Fox.
This is the part that people say that I don't get.
Fox already had the ratings by virtue of the this being the first debate, and with Trump in it. The nature of the questions themselves had nothing to do with getting ratings, the eyeballs were already there.
What they did was let their egos and hubris get the best of them during this unprecedented opportunity. Unless they thought these antics would entice and retain first-time viewers, they forgot their mandate and treated the debate as an extended Sunday show.

They were acting so giddy, you'd have thought it was New Year's Eve in Times Square.
