No, who did he debate and would I have learned anything new? I'm guessing not.
This is REALLY telling. Mr. B. goes on a national debate and Mr. P is not even aware that it occurred. And now Mr. P is upset that Mr. B is excluded from a national debate.
It seems that Mr. P. is not really very concerned about Mr. B and the LP when the people Mr. P. is arguing about are more informed than he is about the the LP and even took some time to watch the national debate that Mr. B. was in.
