Bailey was about as awful as I thought he'd be. Constantly yelling over Pritzker in that nasal twang of his. Ugh.

The best part was near the end, when Bailey was asked to name the Jewish leaders who he claimed agreed with him about the life lost from abortion being worse than the Holocaust.*

He declined to answer, saying, "I'm not gonna put anybody on record." Yeah, right.

The audience (who had already been admonished to be quiet more than once) booed!

Edited to add: There's one more debate scheduled for October 18th.
