    Debates are not some kind of regulated and managed thing that exists for candidates to show up to. They are hosted by third parties and all of the rules and setup are decided by the third party and the political parties, so of course rhe two big names get to didctate how they are run. Even having a minimum amount of polling is subjective and part of the process of setting up the debate. If both of the major parties won’rlt show up if a third party candidate with around 10% in the polls is included, the the debate will exclude that third party candidate.

    How the hell is captain brain worms polling at 10% without stealing a bunch of votes from Trump? This country is doomed.

      This is more of a warning to not listen to pollsters. 10% of voters are definitely not going to vote for this guy, maybe one or two percent. Clearly the polls are way off.

      Don’t even listen to them. Vote. Help your favored candidate. Donate if you want to. Help get out the vote.
