“Whether or not “our guy or gal” has great debate skills will be irrelevant. Obama and his media will have the debatees rigged so there will be no “big moments”.”
That is exactly why we need Newt. The debates are always ‘rigged’. So you need someone who can call them out, and that would be Newt.
Good luck with that. If it happens, I’ll be glad to see it but don’t expect it will.
