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 Ive 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 dont 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?"
