Megan Kelly Grills Ted Cruz on his Republican moderator proposal

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/megyn-kelly-ted-cruz-republican-moderators

<snip>
Kelly first asked Cruz about a few candidates' plan to send a letter to networks with a list of demands for future debates.

"I'm not interested in signing onto a letter of demands," Cruz said before launching into his thoughts on "liberal" moderators. “The one point I have made — and I’ve made it several times — is why is it that we have Republican primary debates that are moderated by liberal Democrats? Liberal Democrats moderate the Democratic debates and they moderate the Republican debates. I don’t think that makes any sense."

Cruz suggested that the Republican National Committee establish a rule that only individuals who have voted in a Republican primary should moderate Republican primary debates.

(When she asked about his flat-tax proposal, he said that we could bring in enough money to fund the government with a flat 10% on everyone and businesses would pay 16%??? The obvious follow-up that Megan should have asked, "Are you saying individuals and businesses are paying less than that now?? If they are paying more, why do we have such huge deficits?"
