    No Debate: How the Republican and Democratic Parties Secretly Control the Presidential Debates

    We talked some about this earlier and it's crazy how much of the debates they control.

    It's just wrong that they would do that. If other parties were involved, and the other debaters were smarter and savvy then the Dems/Republicans could have the chance to really show their smarts and savvy. I mean c'mon if someone is campaigning for President that person better have superegomaniac confidence. If other parties were involved, and the other debaters were not so smart or savvy, then more votes would go towards the Dems/Republicans. It is a loss that other parties were not involved in these debates. The debates would be more interesting if more views were involved.
