Trump accuses Clinton of rigging debate schedule Donald Trump late Friday accused Hillary Clinton of intentionally stacking debates against primetime programming to “rig†the election process, despite the fact that the schedule has been set since last September. “As usual, Hillary & the Dems are trying to rig the debates so 2 are up against major NFL games. Same as last time w/ Bernie. Unacceptable!†Trump tweeted late Friday night. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-debate-schedule-226464 |

Trump accuses Clinton of rigging debate schedule http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000653243/article/nfl-releases-2016-regularseason-schedule Published: April 14, 2016 at 07:43 p.m. So the debates were announced in 2015, the NFL schedule in 2016, but Hillary is so powerful she was able to "rig" the process. We Believe! Pants on fire! |

I don't plan to watch the debates. All I need to do is log in here and get a concise unbiased review of anything significant. Not Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

There are three Presidential debates scheduled, and one for the vice presidential candidates. Here's the lowdown: Chris Wallace has stated it his job to get Clinton & Trump to engage (as if they would not otherwise?) and it is not his job to be a truth hound. Falsehoods must be caught and countered by the candidates themselves. Thus, not only will he not call out Trump in clear lies, he will also NOT CALL OUT HILLARY WHEN SHE LIES (and Wallace is on clearly right FOX). Neutral infotainment sucks. It IS his job to report the truth, even while moderating. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/09/16/gary-johnson-jill-stein-miss-the-cut-for-first-debate.html Gary Johnson, Jill Stein miss the cut for first debate Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party hopeful Jill Stein have failed to quality for the first planned U.S. presidential debate on Sept. 26, the Commission on Presidential Debates said on Friday. The commission, citing the averages the various candidates have achieved in selected polls, confirmed that Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton had met the criteria. It also said that the vice presidential running mates of the two leading candidates were the only two to qualify for the vice presidential debate set for Oct. 4. |

CNBC has unsuprisingly given their usual spin on support of the CPD. They announced this today, late on a Friday afternoon, known in the spin world as the best time to release news that one wishes to bury. In spite of polls showing that 54-76 percent of voters want Libertarian Gov. Gary Johnson included in debates, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) announced that it will not include Johnson in the September 26 debate, nor will it include Gov. William Weld in the October 4 vice presidential debate. In their attempt to bolster the chances of the two most hated presidential candidates in American history, the Commission’s decision makes a mockery of their stated mission to 'provide the best possible information to viewers and listeners.' The American people overwhelmingly want to find out more about Gary Johnson, the most qualified candidate for President, and the only candidate, other than the two corrupt old party bullies, who will be on the ballot in all fifty states, plus D.C., giving every single American the opportunity to vote for him. Not having Gov. Johnson on the stage for the first debate turns it from the Super Bowl of politics into the Pro Bowl of politics; boring and unwatchable. The CPD is controlled by Democrats and Republicans. The only thing worse than supporting either of their nominees is colluding against the American people to support both of them. A Quinnipiac poll released this week put Johnson’s support among voters at 13%, or about 17 million Americans, more than the 13.7 million who voted for the Republican nominee in the primaries to hand him the nomination, and more than the 16.8 million who voted for the Democratic nominee to secure the Democratic nomination. 1992 presidential candidate Ross Perot was the only third party candidate ever to be permitted on the CPD-sponsored presidential debate stage. At that time, Perot was polling at 8 percent in a Times/Mirror poll, below the 9-10% where Johnson is now polling in CPD’s selected polls. |

We haven't had a Substantive Debate between Political Candidates in the USA since Lincoln vs. Douglas (1858). https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016. Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power. |
