frustrated with presidential debates?
I saw this on another website and I think it sums up rather well what is wrong with these debates...http://chrisdodd.com/republican_debate/chart.png it was just an advertisement for mccain, giuliani, and romney...let's not let too many other people throw their ideas out to be heard.

As I see it, here's what it all boils down to these days: -Trump has made a mockery of the presidency and a joke…
