Debating The Debate Schedule

Posted on by

It turns out it is Republican Gregg Hull who is being absolutely unreasonable agree to a substantive debate with Democrat Deb Haaland. Gregg Hull will only agree to one 30 minute debate previously scheduled on Oct. 8  at 6 p.m. on KOB. Deb Haaland on the other hand said she  is available to debate Oct. 12, 13 or 14 in a joint, statewide debate broadcast across the local  news networks KOB, KRQE, KOAT, KKOB and KVIA, but Hull is refusing to agree on any one of the 3 dates saying he is “unavailable”.  This is what you call uncompromising gamesmanship by Gregg Hull who has a real inflated ego about his self impotence as well as his chances of winning.
