Grover Norquist is strongly opposed to letting conservative talk show hosts moderate the 2016 Republican presidential primary debates.
Norquist, a conservative leader who heads the anti-taxation Americans for Tax Reform, told The Hill Tuesday the Republican Party should instead incorporate Republican officeholders into its debate format.
Having conservative talk radio hosts Mark Levin or Rush Limbaugh host debates would be “not useful,” Norquist told The Hill. Talk radio hosts, he said, are primarily entertainers who would draw attention away from the candidates themselves.
He also said the radio hosts, despite their popularity, did not necessarily represent the Republican mainstream. He pointed toward immigration reform as an example, saying that while Levin opposes comprehensive immigration reform fiercely, polls show most Republicans are amenable to it.

What a sellout Grover has become.
Why none other than Bain Capital. Hopefully I don't have to connect those dots. Clear Channel Communications / Bain Capital
They also own Cumulus Media
Id have Steve King, Jim Inhofe, Jeff Sessions and Mike Enzi run the debates. Id like Grassley or Vitter as well but they will be busy.
Grassley and Vitter are running again in 2016. Maybe Vitter will be busy running for governor.

Norquist, you and McCain and all your ilk are going to find out who the mainstream are!
Indeed!
ANNND, Rush owns Bain Capital? I guess I do also. Some of my Portfolio has capital in the company.
Try looking around that fake two party filter. Old Vernon didn't have any problems working with JC Watts on the board of directors, did he? And you might want to take a look at who the founders of Bain Capital are.
More like the other way around. But you were close!
Limbaugh still has to be successful in conservative talk radio.
The lobbyists are relying on campaign donations and RINOPACs to force amnesty on the people.
And look what happens when you point out the money trail. I swear on threads like this it's like telling 5 year olds there is no Santa Claus or a room full of tee vee junkies that reality TV is more fake than real. Lots of angry denial and stamping of feet.
Not saying he isn't good at what he does. In fact he's the leader in the field. None better at what he does. But he's still their bitch. A well paid bitch, to be sure, but still their bitch.
(Wink, wink!)
You can’t listen to Levin for more than 10 minutes and not see that the guy is the GOPe’s worst nightmare.
Thanks bobby.223. As the information level is raised, more smart people get some context for understanding what is really going on. Norquist also protected ACU Executive, Suhail Kahn, whose father founded the Islamic Society of North America, am unindicted co-conspirator in the "Holyland Foundation" trial, investigating terrorist funding the U.S.. ISNA is dedicated to Jihad, and the restoration of the Caliphate. Suhail, in a reverie to his father, swore to complete his father's mission. Norquist, his CPAC and ACU, and so far all of GOP-e has been silent, even to banning Pam Geller and Robert Spencer from CPAC, Geller and Spencer now banned from Britain while the Brits admit jihadi-preaching Imams, including the Imam who inspired the conversion of the Christian Arabs who beheaded the English soldier on London streets.
Obama is only a cog in the machine funded by oil revenue from our dependence upon Saudi oil. The Saudi Royal Family funds the Muslim Brotherhood, Sunni, from which Al-Qaeda was spawned, and who constitute Syrian “Freedom Fighters.”Harvard received a twenty million dollar donation from Alwaleed bin-Talal just before Barack entered Harvard Law, with the help, according to Malcolm X attorney, and Manhattan Borough President, Percy Sutton, of Alwaleed, who only offered Rudy Giuliani ten million after Muslim Brotherhood operatives destroyed the World Trade Centers and part of the Pentagon. Bin-Talal has enormous holdings in U.S. business, Citigroup, AIG, Cisco, Apple, Google, News Corp (Fox and WSJ), and lately, Twitter.
The Saudis are buying us because the Shia have the arms to destroy them. That was a stated goal of Saddam, who was Baathist, like Abbas, neither of whom would accede to being ruled by Wahhabi Imams paid off by the Saudi Family. One smart way to survive, when you have oil and money and no arms, is to buy protection. One can't know whether Norquist had bought Limbaugh or Levin, but he has threatened Beck, previously hosted by the Murdoch/bin-Talal network, Fox. Murdoch, though his son, is a friend of bin-Talal, and has a deal to open a competitor to Al-Jazeera in Qatar.
We are providing the “muscle” for the Muslim Brotherhood, just as we did in Egypt and Libya and Algeria and Morroco and throughout Africa. They are getting more bold about asserting their control over the U.S. Hillary's Senior Aide, Huma Abedin is a lifelong Muslim “Sister”. Obama’s grandmother and half brother are active senior MB operatives. Our State Department cleared her for access to our most sensitive information, just as they cleared John Brennan, knowing well, because other agency members attended his Wahhabi conversion in Riyadh, and his wasn't the only conversion. Our State Department hired Brennan's security firm, knowing of his conversion, to maintain compartmented secret database files for the State Department. The infection is very deep, and neither Limbaugh nor Levin are likely to risk their careers talking about it.
I'll raise you a current issue, the Syrian activity must be seen in the context of Wahhabi convert, member of Obama’s campaign committee, employer of the technician, later murdered, “cauterized” Obama’s State Department file (or at least the paper records), director of the drone assassination program, Obama’s Counterintelligence Adviser because he was rejected by Congress as Dir. of National Intelligence, and now CIA Director, John Brennan. Many have reported this, but when Admiral James Lyons, retired Commander of the Pacific Fleet, confirms this, there is no doubt. Admiral Lyons still believe in preserve, protect, and defend.
How do you own a guy who’s net worth is approaching a $400 million?
Yes, just like Hulk Hogan was Roddy Piper’s worst nightmare! (Wow, I’m probably really dating myself with that one.)
You tyke - I remember when The Crusher was Verne Gagne’s worst nightmare.
Exactly...to tell the truth, I thought it was just me.
I don't, either. But I might if the format was changed.
