Politico explains that Glenn Beck is offering to host a GOP debate:
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.
