This op-ed by Michael Smerconish in the Philadelphia Inquirer is partly an opinion piece, but it is also a news story. The bottom half of the column quotes Frank Fahrenkopf, Jr., co-chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates, as saying the CPD is studying whether to eliminate the rule that says no one outside the two major parties may participate unless he or she is at 15% in the polls in early September.
No way…could it be that the pressure we’ve been putting of the CPD is actually working??? It would be a triumph of activism if that ends up being the case.
Open the debates!
I would like to see the debates open to all candidates who are on the ballot in enough states in which the total electoral vote equal or exceed the 270 needed for election.
Top 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. in the MORON polls ???

Abolish the TIMEBOMB Electoral College.
Uniform definition of Elector.
Nonpartisan App.V. for executive/judicial offices.
This is more than likely an attempt by Republicans to harm Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The pressure to include more than 2 candidates in national debates is generally believed to harm Democrats more than Republicans. Whatever the truth of the matter, that seems to be the belief.
Make it if you are on the ballot in at least 40 states.
Am I going MAD, or did the word “think” escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic land mass.
