presidential debates-who should be invited

Great Debates

I disagree. The debates are about choosing a President. You invite the people who have a chance of getting elected.

I’m going to be harsh once again. Nobody is forced to join a third party. But once you join a third party, don’t complain because nobody takes your political views seriously. You were the one that decided to take yourself out of the world of real government.
