Immigration and something. Was it Obamacare?

Whatever, the guy must be a card carrying puke. All puff, all the time and no follow-up worthy of a journalist. Truly professional by modern standards.

Sure, you don't want to trip yourself up in one of these debates. But, if you're down around 2 or 3%, take a swing. These guys all suck, even when they're being served up softballs.
