Not at all.
Candy made her objectives clear when she moderated the second Romney/Obama debate.
That is the incident where she came out swinging to protect Obama with her "fact checking" falsehood disputing Romney's charge that Obama did not call the Benghazi kilings an act of terror.
Republicans are idiots for allowing known hard core leftists like Candy to moderate presidential campaign debates.
And Ted Cruz is just getting used to them. I’ll bet they hate to have him on, one, because he’s honest and doesn’t accept their premises, pressing back, and, two, they don’t want him getting good at this.
