Wow, have you ever watched a L-D debate? It is a brilliant format for intelligent people to point out and hone their agreements and differences and the reasons for those differences without the "gotcha" moments. If they act like they "can't stand each other," they come across as shrill, childish, and petty. If all you want is a show, watch wrestling.
If I could pass one election law, it would be that the major party candidates had to participate in at least six hours of televised L-D debates. That would fix many of the problems with campaign finance, MSM favoritism, etc.
Newt and Herman have been close friends for the better part of 20 years. There is no animosity between them. In addition, Newt just stood up for Herman by attacking the media on the sexual harassment thing. A classy move no other candidate considered. The debate will be cordial based on what I’ve read.
