While GOP front runner Donald Trump may not officially be participating in CNN’s first Democratic presidential debate Tuesday night, he won’t be left out of the action.

The outspoken billionaire announced via Twitter he plans to live-tweet his thoughts on what he expects to be a “boring” event.

Trump said Monday on Fox News he thinks CNN needs him to receive the unprecedentedly high ratings networks saw during the past two Republican debates.

“I think people are going to turn it on for a couple of minutes and then fall asleep,” he told the hosts of Fox and Friends. “I don’t think they’ll do badly, because there is a curiosity factor. I don’t think they’re going to do great, and I think a lot of people are going to turn off after a little while.” The 2016 hopeful has not help back when it comes to revealing his thoughts on what he sees as other candidates shortcomings, and can be expected to sling some insults at the Democratic field.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whom Trump has not been shy about going after in the past, said she looks forward to the real estate mogul’s commentary.  

@realDonaldTrump Glad you’ll be watching. It’s going to be “huge.” — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 13, 2015

The debate will air Oct. 13 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
