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 party leaders know that elections are decided by centrists, independents and moderates from both parties. While primaries are decided by the party hardliners, Election outcomes swing by those that are centered!
Closed primaries only allow voters who claim a specific party affiliation before election day to vote for that party's candidates. These voters must be registered with the party in order to participate in the primary election. Independent or unaffiliated voters are generally excluded from participating in closed primaries.
