Most Presidential Debates are glorified for trivial matters such as the JFK-Richard Nixon debate or the Ronald Reagan-Jimmy Carter debates or the Lloyd Bensten-Dan Quayle debates. The Ron Paul-Rudy Gulianni debate over blowback had historical significance. It led to the Tea Party movement, widespread disapproval of foreign intervention in general, state nullification, gold standard in Utah, the militia standoff with the BLM, no war in Syria, defeat of Eric Cantor, blowback became an American pop culture term,etc.
Blowback was never brought up in any Presidential debate ever! Nor has non-intervention been brought up since the 1950's if I'm not mistaken.
When will we see documentaries on this debate? I would compare it to the Lincoln-Douglas debates if I wasn't a Ron Paul supporter. I don't support Lincoln but the historic significance is comparable to that debate only with war in fact the blowback debate was to stop war. So when will it get the recognition it deserves?
