If the current thread has gotten completely out of hand, I can understand that. I’d suggest that either the current thread be reopened or else a new thread be allowed. Of course, the GD and Elections rules must be followed, but this is one of the most fascinating issues in USA politics over the next month so I think we should be allowed to discuss this race.
