I’m a little surprised.

    This site is largely RW, why would they care about D debates?
    And those who aren't RW, what's there to be excited about. There's 20 something candidates, the debates are boring as it is, without each of them getting 11 minutes of air time to read carbon copy answers.

    Well, from the debate I saw tonight the main issues are. Spend a lot more, tax a lot more, do nothing about other countries taking advantage of us, anyone that wants to come here should be welcomed and no one here illegally should be deported, violate the constitution with a pen and phone, free stuff, free stuff, and more free stuff.

    I guess I’m not RW but I prefer to know as much as possible about those I disagree with.

    Somebody should fact check that claim this joint is mostly RW.

    Months ago everyone seemed excited to have a full stable of candidates. Now it’s boring. So what are you saying exactly? That you know enough about them all already? Or you know the party is picking anyway so it doesn’t matter? Or you will learn what you need to know from other sources and see no value in what can be learned about candidates beyond their beliefs by observing them in a national debate environment?

    When it's down to less than 5, I might care.
    But in politics, the party dictates the agenda. Both RW and LW. And when push comes to shove on elitists policy, the 2 parties will join together so fast and in large numbers, the people won't know what happened.
    Over 20 yrs ago, the crooked politicians voted themselves automatic pay raises so they wouldn't have to be on record voting for increasing their lifestyle.

    And big money pretty much dictates who our choice will be.

    Thanks. Can’t really disagree. Because of where I live the nominations are pretty much locked up before we even vote. So I’m pretty cynical about it all too.
