Gary Johnson is polling higher and has more support than she does and I doubt he will get on. You have to have 15 percent in the polls. However they dont mention which ones and typically arent even included in the polls. So the question should be why arent any 3rd party candidates allowed on the debate stage?

You have to have some sort of limits as to who gets in the debates? Where do you draw the line? Should all 2 dozen plus national parties be allowed? And as much as people complain about the way the GOP and DNC choose candidates all the other parties do it the old way where their is no national vote. What it really comes down to is none of the other national parties have any wide scale appeal, they are all niche parties. People say do we not have any other choices and you point out the other and they well not them. Why should the GOP and DNC give there parties a chance when the voters clearly do not?

At least they don't rig their elections with super-delegates or have what happened in Colorado happen What it really comes down to is none of the other national parties have any wide scale appeal,Define wide appeal they are all niche partiesDefine niche.

We are not asking for the authoritarian left and right to give us a chance. We are asking for the networks on TV to give us a chance.
