100%... the stations know they will make money on the broadcast, no reason to let them control the questions too

Conservative talk radio hosts Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh should be tapped to host a Republican debate since they actually care about issues GOP voters are concerned with, says Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Cruz, one of the 15 candidates taking part in the two GOP presidential debates Wednesday night, told Fox News Channel's "Special Report" on Thursday he is tired of liberals being in control of the discussion.
"In the Democratic debate, they get a ton of love from the moderators and it's all praising the different candidates, avoiding too much clash," Cruz said. "On the Republican side, you look at an awful lot of the media interviewers, their object is whoever the Republican nominee is, to beat up on them, and to have people either stay home or vote for Hillary Clinton."
In one of the 2012 debates, ABC's George Stephanopoulos, a former staffer of President Bill Clinton, repeatedly asked GOP candidates about their stances on birth control.
"We found out about a month later that was the opening charge of the Democrats' made-up war on women," Cruz said.
Cruz was asked about charges that his rival Sen. Marco Rubio has missed too many Senate votes while running for president. Cruz said he isn't concerned about quantity, but quality, and that it is more important to be on hand for the vital votes.

100%... the stations know they will make money on the broadcast, no reason to let them control the questions too
I’ve always wondered why the republicans would put themselves in the position they did last evening.
I pondered a few months ago if it were possible to have Sean and them host a debate at a conservative college and some FRer told me that everything has to be vetted thru the RNC.
If that is true then who do we have to really blame for these last three debates?
Really?
What happened last night shows how useless Mr. Priebus and the GOPe are.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would. I’d pay through the nose to see that.
Oh man! You hit the nail on the head there. Hannity, Levin and Limbaugh need to host the rat debate. They could really make that bunch of crooks and losers sweat.
But, that’s the way it should be, it’s a good way to vet them. So sad they are being protected by the elitists.
Back to reality, even the Republicans would never agree to it, too many of those crooks and losers would sweat equally.
narrow down the fields a bit, and put um all on the stage..
Then wait for Levin to tell Sanders to “GET OFF MY STAGE YOU BIG DOPE!” because you know he would.
Megyn Kelly on FOX defending the CNBC Moderators. Bitch didn’t learn anything from her miserable performance at first Debate.
This is a good idea. Let the commie lib heads explode. They always say they “weren’t watching” anyway. It doesn’t make sense to let commie lib DNC toadies moderate Republican debates. The lib moderators are all jackasses with a bunch of sophomoric moronic questions and are only there to play gotcha with the Republicans.
It would be a huge seller - they should go ahead and plan it and sell it.
There wouldn’t be a democrat version of it - there’s no way Hitlery would face that group!
I would love to see Levin questioning her thighness. I would even pay a few bucks to see it.
...Can’t we start a “Go To Funding†to raise the money and put it on?...
Not a chance. Liberal funding sites would never, ever allow this.
Fiorina would have a leg up on that question...
...He is not a gun grabber . Has permit to carry.. .
OK. If he does, does that mean it wouldn’t affect him?
Hillsdale
That’s what I was thinking. My daughter went there.
He has my vote.
