I did not see a single punch thrown. Disappointed Matt, disappointed.
If Matt came out swinging, he wouldn't have made it through one segment. I thought he did a great job of re-framing arguments much of the time. His numbers were never refuted and he did a great job of being respectful, while not agreeing to anything. MHP is seemingly ill-prepared to properly defend her points--why she needs to bring on so many "experts" to push her views.
It's amazing to see how liberals can't comprehend the connection between pushing for home ownership and the housing bubble.
