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.
