I never paid much attention to his debates, but from what little snippets I’ve seen, along with the “Prove Me Wrong” schtick seems to indicate he already decided he was right and others were wrong.

      Who’s going around sad that Rush Limbaugh is dead?

      He’s just useful to their sadistic cause. That’s it. No one is even sad that Charlie’s dead — but they are absolutely gleeful at the idea of attacking anyone left of Reagan in “revenge.”
