Sure, and in fact they often do. They wouldn't do so near the general election, because by then most of the time each party has its candidates already chosen, and there's not really much point in having the guy you've already chosen debate a bunch of guys you passed over.

Political parties choose their candidates for elections through a process called candidate selection.
