Instead of being led for the umpteenth time to the prepackaged conclusions that the Leftist political and media establishment demands that we accept, there might be an opportunity for candidates to think beyond sound bites and shibboleths and actually engage in some independent thought.
Even in a debate featuring such lackluster establishment hacks as John Bolton and Asa Hutchinson, that could be positively scintillating.
I really don’t care whether Tucker hosts a debate or not. Here’s what does matter to me. Every candidate in a political debate should be able to pick his/her share of moderators.
Anything else is a fixed debate. And that’s exactly what we’ve been having for the last 60 or so years.
That would be another good debate.
Nevertheless, the Tucker moderated debate would be a good one.
Do at least both of those.
Jettison the Fox and the WP debates.
And we never see a debate where the communists face hard questions from a Rush, a Tucker, etc. Just softballs from a friend.
It would be a rejection of the old news media, their control over a public narratives, and drive them out of their minds.
You forgot Larry Elder and Vivek Ramaswamy.
And the declared senator Tim Scott!
Tucker would be good to bring in two other lesser-known independent moderators to signal the MSM is done. And the RNC is on life-support.
Wrestling away the political systems and giving it back to the American people would be a substantial move. There doesn’t need to be an RNC, only state conservative parties.
A Tucker moderated debate streamed live on Twitter would be interesting.
Mike Pence should have one on one debates with every democrat that has WH aspirations. One subject 90 minutes each.
Pence is going nowhere so he might as well spend time with the wackos as well as the wanna be noticed(Yang/Williamson). Can’t picture any backdowns other than AOC. Her dead brain would be exposed. For Pence it would be a public service.
That wouldn’t fly as the RNC won’t let the other candidates go on a separate forum. They would try that with Trump, but I think he’d find a way around them, so it would turn into a town hall with Tucker and Trump that was blacked out on all but a few tiny, conservative networks.
Debates are good theater but they don’t matter. The Election is rigged.
No doubt Carlson is frustrated, but the “what ifs” are Hannity’s domain.
My main takeaway from this article: John freakin’ Bolton is running for President?
I wonder if the networks would give up the huge advertising dollars a Tucker-moderated debate would bring in.
Listening to Dteave Deace podcast this week. With all of the rigging and cheating the percentages were shockingly low.
I don’t think THEY want Vivek or Elder in any debate. Much like when Alan Keyes was wiping the stage with the selected candidates 25 years ago.
Better to pick three random names out of the phone book and have them as moderators. They can ask any question they want.
Funny thing... many consider Tucker ‘controlled opposition’
I’m all in for whatever Tucker does. This sounds like a great idea. The GOP needs a shake-up, a grab-em-by-the-shoulders-and-shake-em-til-their-head-comes-loose moment.
Maybe this would be a good thing.
