In 1994, Newt helped engineer one of the greatest political wins in history for his party. We know ex-senator Fred Thompson who was elected that year gives Newt a lot of credit for his accomplishment. Even Rick "Courage" Santorum used the political tidal wave to his election in that year, but he mostly gives credit to himself...

yeah, Newt sure did, but that wasn’t the issue here, so don’t try to change it.

Your’re trying to call Santorum out as a coward who’s afraid to debate Newt and portray Newt as someone who’s willing to take on and debate anyone, when the historical record says otherwise.

As for 1994, I agree it wasn’t necessary for Newt to debate Cooter as his district was heavily safe and there was no gain he could make from it. I would argue in the same manner it is wise for Santorum not to debate anymore either for the same reason, because even if he does well, people like you won’t give him any credit anyway. So why bother?
