Mike, pick yourself out a daughter. My oldest is married, but I can have it annulled. The Pope said he'd do it, I swear to God.
That's very friendly of you, sir. Thank you.
It's not even the number of debates, as much as the format. Two-minute response followed by a one-minute reply. That's not a debate. That's not a debate! It's a joint press conference.

Can you make a run to the staff secretary's office? Ella's not there, but someone should be. Make sure you just take what needs to be signed today. They're gonna try to give you a whole stack, and right there's where you become a man.

When we mention that we want five debates, say what they are. One on the economy, one on foreign policy, with another on global threats and national security, one on the environment, and one on strengthening family life, which would include health care, education, and retirement.

I disagree.
Disagree all you want, but I'm right.
These two men are going to be side by side on the stage, answering questions. That's the ball game.
If the whole thing is, he can't tie his shoelaces and it turns out he can, then that is the ball game.
And I believe he'll have to do more than tie his shoelaces.
Not much more.
