I was embarrassed for her. She can never really debate him because her arguments are so muddled, and she uses weak words that don't always fit the argument. He is the king of straw man stances - exaggerated hyperbole that makes him look like a fool. He's also a bully, and no one ever calls him on it. Whenever he goes on one of his childish tirades, everybody gets quiet and is afraid to say anything. You can just feel the tension oozing off the TV screen.

I would hate to be a regular on that panel. I hope the pay is worth it. It must be.
