Ted Cruz's plan for reforming the GOP presidential debates might not be as extensive as his fellow candidates', but Fox News host Megyn Kelly still isn't buying it. In a Tuesday night interview on The Kelly File, she grilled the Texas senator about his recommendation that "if you have never in your life voted in a Republican Party primary... you shouldn't be moderating a Republican primary debate."

"Let me challenge you on that," Kelly said. "Do you have any idea whether [Fox News hosts] Bret Baier or Chris Wallace have ever voted in a Republican primary?" Cruz admitted that he didn't, though he ventured to guess that they have, unlike most television journalists who he claims are "liberal Democrats."
