Obama's administration pre-screens and pre-approves media questions at his press conferences and interviews. There are no 'gotcha' questions.
Is the RNC approving those asking questions and the questions asked at these debates?
The debates have been widely popular. Millions of viewers has meant millions of dollars in revenues. This gives the RNC leverage.
The RNC, presumably, wants to get one of its candidates for president elected in the general election come November. This gives the RNC motive.
So why have these appeared to be complete free for alls?
Now the press will follow the Fox precedent of video 'gotcha' playing mixed in with questions as well as the 'questions from viewers' google provided.
It'll get even worse from here.

Yes. They pre-screen them and send them to Jeb.
No. The RNC is not that bright.
Don’t know about the pre screen etc but I did hear Bret Baier (Fox anchor) say that 15 minutes before the debate started he was carrying TWO sets of questions.
One set for if Trump showed and One if he didn’t.
I (silly me) thought a ‘debate’ was to get different peoples opinions on like subjects with ALL having the same amount of time for responses etc...
Seems last night Carson had 6 minutes about 9% while couple of others had 19% of the time.
Also that first question by Kelly should have prompted at least ONE of the ‘debaters’ to challenge her, if not leave.
Although a ‘cynical’ person may say that the first question was handed to Kelly by Cruz seeing as he had a VERY pat answer to it ... (Kelly asking Cruz what T not being there meant to the Iowa voters).
