Well in Canada, there are 2 leader debates during the lead up to the elections, one in English and one in French. The leaders who are allowed to debate are the ones who lead a party that is represented in the House of Commons (meaning they have to represent at least one riding in the country). Of course the inclusion or non-inclusion of various parties is controversial here too, although there are always at least 4 parties represented (the 3 major ones + the Bloc Quebecois), as well as the Green Party if they managed to win a seat in the previous election. The reason there aren't more debates is because our system doesn't set out to torture the citizens for months on end. The last election in 2015 was deemed the longest election campaign period in Canadian history I believe.... it was less than 3 months long.JC29856 said:

Trump is making this process a fucking redneck joke.The parties themselves choose their leaders with an internal vote, so we don't have to fuck around with the primaries. And no waiting after the election. Whoever wins steps into office immediately. Also, PMs don't have vice-PMs, so we don't have to dick around with vice-PM debates or consider a second person on a ticket.

There were about 15 GOP debates and several Democratic ones. There are three debates with the finalists.JC29856 said:

I accept defeat as to the stealing of furniture, I should not have linked the impartial potifact article to promote my agenda. I have since moved on to Lincoln's room to further my agenda.HughFreakingDillon said:
but that's not what they did. they took stuff they were gifted while leasing that "apartment". they didn't realize at the time the gifts were for the house, not the occupants (apparently, I won't claim to know their intentions).tonifig8 said:
Weren't they flat broke when they left? Isn't that what Hillary stated, sorry I don't remember.HughFreakingDillon said:
telling people they shouldn't address a point unless spoken to first on a public message board is ludicrous. everyone needs to stop with the "getting under their skin" bullshit. it's weak. if people around here think that some of us turn off our computers in a rage and run down the street yelling "I HATE AMT!" you are out of your collective minds.tonifig8 said:
I think you're starting to get under the skin of certain individuals. The details of the discussions are starting to get real and you're proving basic points, which doesn't appear to sit well with some.JC29856 said:
How about if I wanted your input I'll ask with your quoted text, as I have done in the past.mrussel1 said:
If you want a personal Q&A or to quiz people, send them a PM.JC29856 said:
Question wasn't posed to him?HughFreakingDillon said:
no he's not. I read the article too, and was surprised at your mini-summary before the link. it wasn't accurate at all.JC29856 said:
Your doing it again!mrussel1 said:
Reading this whole thing, looks like there was no mal-intent at all. Funny that you use the verb 'stole' while Politifact specifically repudiated the use of that word.JC29856 said:
Does Clinton's stealing $37k worth of white house furniture and wall decor speak to character? They actually stole more then returned most later.bootlegger10 said:
Well, I choose to believe the woman that accused Bill of assault, including the one Bill paid off in a settlement. I believe the victims' accounts that Hillary pressured them to not say anything. When Bill is caught having sex with an intern it isn't unrealistic to believe all the other stories. Hillary decided it was okay to stay with Bill and have her daughter continue to live in the same house (White House) where her dad was banging interns a few rooms away. If that doesn't say something about her character than I don't know what else to tell you. It is a political marriage. Ends justify the means.PJ_Soul said:
Really? How do you know that? Source? I honestly have no idea what her real feelings are about Bill, what the deal is with their relationship, or what she thinks he did or didn't do. And frankly, I don't really care. I don't feel like it has an impact on her ability (or lackthereof) to be POTUS. Now of evidence came along telling us that she actively supported him raping someone or actively knows about it and doesn't care, that would be meaningful. But I have seen no evidence of that. Have you?bootlegger10 said:Hillary and Bill are a team. Whatever Bill did she was fine with it.

So your saying Clinton's didn't leave with stuff that weren't theirs? Okay I'll correct it...Clinton's borrowed some stuff from the white house, some they returned some they are still b borrowing.
Moderator friendly and informative. Those voters who are the fence should read what JC is posting.
I highly doubt that people in the highest office in the land with that much money intended to steal anything that wasn't theirs. I'd say the same for obama, the bush family, the reagans, trump, everyone. it's ridiculous.
My comment was directed at JC - it was a general comment based on all of the work he's been putting in. The comment I made was inspired by russ's reply comment to JC's. It gets complicated, but ultimately JC is posting some excellent points with detailed evidence. I'm simply expressing my support. It's informative and goes a long ways.
The article regarding the Clinton's taking items from the white house was much to do about nothing. They took items they weren't suppose to- Some they returned, some they paid back, some they kept, some the white house sent back... . JC's point was that the CLinton's continue to demonstrate this odd behavior/characteristic that seems shady. Not a big deal, but it does support that shadiness behavior.
If you took items from a furnished apartment you were leasing what would happen?
I just think people are using jaywalking to prove murder.

Because that would leave it open for dirty tricks. Democrats would vote for the person they see as the easier target on the GOP side and vice versa. It would get ugly in a hurry. It happened here in Virginia in my district. Eric Cantor was our congressman (douchy). No Democrat has a chance here so there was no primary run. So Dems crossed over and voted for Dave Bratt, thinking we had a better chance at him. Bratt beat Cantor and then beat our guy. Now we're stuck with chief tea partier vs. chief douche. But anyway, this would absolutely happen if you could vote in both.CM189191 said:

The primary exists for party members to select their nominee. Why would a party want others playing a role in that? It isn't meant to be a general election for all registered voters.CM189191 said:

Sometimes, primaries mean jack shit to the parties (see Washington State Democratic primary), and it is just a formality or an appeasement to voters who think they have a voice, since the actual selection of their delegates takes place at the caucuses."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please."
