Whether in a congregation or as part of a roundtable, I've never seen evidence that the left is willing to cede a point.
Yep.
Total waste of time. He is attempting to interject logic into an irrational group of people.
Especially now, since they believe they are winning the war.
And no matter what he says, the media will twist it to make him (their favorite word) racist.
It is likely a trap with 'set up' type questions which cannot be answered rationally.
He is willing walking into a situation which he cannot possibly win, or breakeven.
They will never allow him to walk away from this without concessions, groveling, and defeat.
They do not want a solution. They do not want things to 'get better'. They live on conflict.
