Nope.
They’ll dope the potato up and softball him and when he muddles through without fully sundownign on camera claim he won
Those thinking Biden will blow up will be disapointed.
That is not the strategy. The strategy is to force the election into the house of representatives.
Ron Paul. Rand is his son the great Senator from Kentucky (even though im in Tennessee) 😉
All candidates have to be on the ballot in enough states to get 270 electoral college votes, and have 15% in four polls. He doesn’t meet the criteria.
When have third party candidates been in a nationally televised debate with the candidates from the GOP and Democratic parties? It’s not like he’s being singled out
That is debatable.
Kennedy is on the ballot in only six states.
This is actually good—biden will have to spend more time talking.
Let him debate. I would love to see it. He’s right. It is un-Democratic.
criteria to participate in the debate is in the NYT article:
RFKJ has zero chance of winning 270 electoral college votes because he’s made the ballot in only 6 states, so totally pointless to include someone with zero chance of winning the Presidency ... there’s also another handful of no-chance candidates who’ve also announced ... to include any of them turns the whole thing into a ridiculous circus and would take away most of the debate time from the only two candidates who matter ...
Or crapping.
(When have third party candidates been in a nationally televised debate with the candidates from the GOP and Democratic parties?)
October of 1992 : Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Ross Perot.
Anyone know what the criteria were?
I don’t think they’re allowing an audience.
You’re right, they’re not. I just read it.
Yes, I remember that, and the great sucking sound. But the fact that it was 32 years ago tells how rare a circumstance it is.
Me either.
Here's what the rule should be: if a candidate is on the ballot in enough states so that that candidate could win 270 or more Electoral College votes, then he/she should be invited to debate. Let's hear what the man has to say!
“Here’s what the rule should be: if a candidate is on the ballot in enough states so that that candidate could win 270 or more Electoral College votes, then he/she should be invited to debate. “
uh, that IS in fact CNN’s debate criteria ... and JFKJ is ballot-qualified in only six states ...
Agree
what happened to the womens league? They should never have accepted the commission on debates.
Reagan had a famous moment when he said “I PAID FOR THIS MICROPHONE!” meaning he invested his time and donations into running a campaign and therefore had the right to speak and debate.
