IA-01 Twelve debates?! Hah! [View all]

As stated in the Waterloo Courier's article about Abby Finkenauer's primary win, Blum stated

“I am looking forward to a respectful race in which we can discuss the issues during 12 debates throughout the 1st District,” he said.

Twelve debates, when he's not appeared before his constituents in how many (18?) months? Yeah, I'm pretty sure we won't see Runaway Rod face a strong candidate like Finkenauer that many times. Republicans always suck on the issues, and they know it. Blum especially seems to live in the conservative bubble, and hates the reality that he has plenty of non-conservative constituents. My prediction is two debates, with very tightly screened questions and audiences.
