All the Republicans have ever had in the way of debate skills is the Gish Gallop, a series of prepared packs of lies triggered by keywords and that don't answer any questions.

I doubt this joker is going to improve that situation.

Verb: 1. To fear deriving pleasure from 'unnatural' sex acts. 2. To advocate for legal restrictions regarding consensual sexual activity.

Usages
Noun: The Cuccinelli statute reads, “If any person carnally knows in any manner any male or female person by the anus or by or with the mouth, or voluntarily submits to such carnal knowledge, he or she shall be guilty of a felony.”
