Should Bush have debated Harry Reid when he blamed Reid for immigration reform issues?

Rush is the de facto leader of Republicans. That is the problem. He shouldn't be. He is radical and in no way representative of the values of most Americans, let alone Republicans. The man has a 10% approval rating. To get things done with elected Republicans requires that they stop kissing Rush's ring. They won't. Obama urged them to do so and wound up with Steele apologizing to Limbaugh for calling his program "ugly" and "incendiary," both of which are totally accurate observations.
You keep saying that Limbaugh is the de facto head of the GOP, yet offer no proof other than yours and Obama's opinion. Why?
