Oh....I didn't know that, but he probably doesn't (have a chance). Anderson and Perot didn't "really" have a chance either. The point is that it's up to CNN and the candidates as the commission isn't involved and likely won't be involved in any of the debates.
I'll be happy not to hear anything he has to say.

Yeah. I used the 2 most popular 3rd party candidates to highlight the fact that there really isn't a choice outside the dem and repub parties.....I wish it wasn't so, but the way things are set up, it just doesn't seem possible. I think the best chance for a more progressive direction in the party comes from the dems, but they've got a hell of a long way to go. At least there's a reasonably strong progressive wing. The main problem, as I see it, is the dominant ideology isn't really based in reality so there's an education element that is (intentionally) missing in order to further the status quo.The last third party candidate that had a high share of the total popular vote was Ross Perot (he won no states). Exit polls in 1992 and 1996 showed that Ross Perot took equally from Clinton's and Bush's and Dole's pool of voters.
General Election 2020: Biden vs Trump
Its gonna be a close election, even though it really shouldn't be given the depression level job loss, the pandemic , and an impeached President. When its close, an underwhelming VP pick won't hurt that much . It may not excite the base and GE voters, but it doesn't turn people off. However...
It never occurred to me until now that you're a mod and can't ignore people.
I'd love to put RfK jr on permanent ignore, lol.It never occurred to me until now that you're a mod and can't ignore people.
I rarely, rarely do that, but sometimes when I find the vast majority of posts lacking integrity WRT political structures, I'll go ahead and ignore.
Maybe he'll join the Hype as Hosting Earwigs.
If I'm Biden, I plaster it all over the media that Trump WILL back out because he's afraid to debate. He's a coward, a bully, etc....and that's what cowards and bullies do.....they talk and don't back it up.
Can Trump even last through a debate without falling asleep?
If you limit your vision to what's permissible within present political structures, you would never predict the French revolution or the fall of the USSR, for example. Though it's impossible to prove until the time has passed, I'll argue that we are now in a similar period of instability of change. Actually, it might be a greater one.

This is exactly what I thought would be coming and why, if I were in the Biden camp, I would have been shouting to the stars that Trump is afraid to debate and, like the bully he is, that he talks a big game, but can't back it up.
