Dear Mr. Speaker,
At least one candidate for the Republican nomination for President 2016, Senator Ted Cruz, has suggested that voters could learn much more from a debate moderated by a conservative panel, than spectacles like the farce of last night, on MSNBC. Senator Cruz suggested popular talk show hosts as panelists, but, I believe the forum would have better “standing” if the panel also included persons who have been involved in crafting policy and laws on State or National level.
“Possibles” would include yourself, Senator Jim DeMint, Gov. Sarah Palin (great on energy policy) Senator Joe Lieberman (ME and Israel), Mayor Rudi Guilani, and many others. Panelists and the moderator would be limited to short, concise questions (no speeches!). Obviously the moderator would “run” the forum.
I do not know what you could do to assist in getting something like this rolling. Perhaps, if he likes the idea, Mr. Trump or his staff could assist with it getting widely televised, and streamed online.
Thank You for your consideration!
Correction: “CNBC”. Short night & I’m not fully awake yet!

Great letter! I hadn’t thought of Mr. Newt but he got the ball rolling last election by fighting back.
Got to run, but I’ll check back with you later.
