Presidential Debates Fraud

[P F Tinmore]

The Commission of Presidential Debates is a Private corporation run by the Republican and Democratic parties. They are afraid to let third parties into the debates.

 

[PredFan]

How is that fraud?

 

[Iceweasel]

If you recognize they are privately run then you have to recognize they are not obligated to give anyone air time. Nothing is stopping Jill and Gary from speaking at the Libertarian Green party debates.

 

[P F Tinmore]

How is that fraud?

Their name and how they present themselves is misleading. People have been led to believe it is one thing when it is something else.

 

[PredFan]

Yeah, maybe I'm dumb but the Commission of Presidential Debates doesn't state or imply that everyone gets to participate, at least not as far as I can tell.

They imply that there are only two candidates. That is a lie.

They imply that they are for presidential debates without mentioning that they are a private corporation run by the the two corporate owned parties.

Even the League of Women Voters called it a fraud.

My neighbor's kid plays on a Pop Warner football team. His coach went on a rant because the NFL wouldn't let his team schedule a game against the Patriots.

Don't they have a rule that if you garner 15% support, you can be at the debates? That seems very fair. Who wants to listen to every nutball that runs for POTUS?

Look at the two nutballs running for the Repub and Dem parties.

Why can we only choose between Tweedledee and Tweedledum?

True, they are all nutballs but two of the nutballs have a chance to get elected. I don't care what some other nutball thinks when he hasn't a snowball's chance in hell.

Because you're gonna vote for the Jew!

two of the nutballs have a chance to get elected​

That is your criteria for who should be president?

WOW!

They sold Obama to us like a bag of chips and look what we got.

If Romney won, the West Bank Jordanians would have been in Jordan by now.

No, that is not my criteria for who should be elected president. What that is, is a recognition of the fact that those are the choices that we have. Neither one of those, nor Johnson, nor Stein, nor anyone else but Ted Cruz would have fit my criteria to be elected president.

But I don't have Cruz, and the only one with a chance to beat Hillary is Trump. More to the point of this thread; I don't need to hear from people who have no chance of being elected.

Those are the choices given to you by the people who throw you under the bus.

Good choice. Vote for Tweedledee because you are afraid of Tweedledum.

Whatever happened to The League of Woman Voters who used to sponsor the debates?

Whatever happened to The League of Woman Voters who used to sponsor the debates?

In 1985, the national chairs of the Democratic and Republican parties, Paul Kirk and Frank Fahrenkopf, signed an agreement that referred to future debates as “nationally televised joint appearances conducted between the presidential and vice-presidential nominees of the two major political parties. . . It is our conclusion that future joint appearances should be principally and jointly sponsored and conducted by the Republican and Democratic Committees.”

In February 1987, the two announced the formation of the Commission on Presidential Debates, with themselves as co-chairs. Their joint press release called the new group “bipartisan.” According to the New York Times, Fahrenkopf indicated at their press conference that the CPD was not likely to favor including third-party candidates, while Kirk said he personally believed they should be excluded, as it was “my responsibility to strengthen the two-party system.”

When the CPD took control in 1988, the League of Women Voters announced it would no longer sponsor debates “because the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud on the American voter. It has become clear to us that the candidates’ organizations aim to add debates to their list of campaign-trail charades devoid of substance, spontaneity and answers to tough questions.”
