Conservative TV and radio host Glenn Beck has offered to take over hosting the Republican presidential primary debate scheduled for Feb. 26.

In a letter sent to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Monday, Beck, a former Fox News host and founder of conservative media company The Blaze, said his debate would reach a large block of conservatives in the country who have otherwise felt "excluded" from the Republican Party.

"Our plan is straightforward,” Beck wrote in the letter.“ Rather than being moderated by journalists who ask all the questions, I will host, and I will invite the greatest new conservative thinkers and media voices in America to prepare and ask questions live and by video. Our panel will offer the candidates an opportunity to discuss substantial issues of importance with authentic answers that are thoughtful and elevating to the entire party.”

Replace Hannity with Chris Plante and I’m there. :)

If everyone puts their angst and all other reactions to Glenn aside for a moment, this is the best offer the Candidates and we as Conservatives have had in a long time. It borders on all we ever asked for in these debates. To piss it way because of Glenn would be Stoopid.

Go to his website and see his story and letter on it...

I must say I do have my concerns and suggestions below.

* His subscriber base is what 250,000, simulcast on YouTube is a must.
* Other media links needed as well, many lawyers involved to wave people and rights for the simulcast, dare I say let PBS carry the feed, ditto that NPR and any Conservative Talk Show that wants too.
* Glenn's studios technically look more that sufficient, however I am not sure he can get a large audience in one of their "sets". I can't comment on it since every time I try to sign up for "The Blaze" it craps out on me, go figure.
* Glenn might be a nice Intro guy, but Frankly he should sit and watch and enjoy the fruits of this labor. Get someone literally boring as moderator, my choices, Brian Lamb or Bill Bennett.

But the Panelist is where the rubber meets the road. Can you imagine Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Jeff Kuhner, Andrew McCarthy, Dr. Thomas Sowell, Dr Walter Williams to just name a few asking questions?

Glennie is as bad as the CNBC mods. He hates Trump. Plus he’s a loon.
