If this "debate" were to come to fruition, I'll be sure not to watch it. Two simplistic, shallow, bombastic partisan ideologues shouting hyperbolic, boilerplate winger slogans at each other. A couple of narcissistic division pimps accomplishing absolutely nothing outside of firing up their sheep.
No thanks.

What turned me off on Schultzie was the shoo-in election the Demwits lost to replace the crook
Duke Cunningham. Eddie suggested that the Party should have sent a skilled campaign manager, not even mentioning that the Donkeys' bimbo lost because she said we should have open borders and give citizenship to anyone with a wet back.
An aside to recognize Duke Cunningham...
[DERAIL]I think quite a few posters would enjoy knowing about Duke Cunningham's Viet Nam war accomplishments.
I'll start a thread on it and link to it here for your convenience.
There is no doubt about his illegal behavior while in office but there is also no doubt he was a terrifically skilled and gifted aviator and a dogged, determined warrior who deserves the recognition of his countrymen for his feats of skill and daring over the skies of South East Asia in the later stages of the War in Viet Nam.

And, addressing your statement which might be construed to mean he is still behind bars...
He has paid his debt to society and is now a free man.
Former California Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham is a free man today, after spending more than seven years in prison on bribery and other charges. A distinguished Vietnam War veteran and former Navy pilot, Cunningham's 15-year career in Congress ended abruptly when he admitting to taking $2.4 million in bribes from defense contractors and evading taxes.
"Spokesman Chris Burke says the 71-year-old was released from home confinement Tuesday," reports ABC 10News of San Diego. "He declined to say where or elaborate on the circumstances, citing privacy and safety concerns."
The bribery scheme that Cunningham and two others were convicted for was an elaborate one, famously including a yacht named the Duke-Stir. It resulted in Cunningham being sentenced to one of the longest prison terms ever for a former member of Congress.
