It's hard watching debates and getting to really see a candidate when there are so many of them and they each have approximately 30 seconds to respond. It also causes people to sit around and not make up their mind, because they rest their decision upon the masses.
When should someone who has never received more than 3% of the votes anywhere, or someone who has experience a major fall with no hope of getting back up, step down and throw their support behind someone else? Should that never occur, because anyone who wants to run should be allowed to? I'm not sure where I really stand on this, but thought I would see what others had to say.

We need to give more times for candidates to speak. I am in favor of more choices. Aren't you? But we need more time so we can really hear them. The media should be backing them but they are also in the pockets of corporations. They don't do what they do for what's right. It's all about money. That is a major problem of what's wrong with our system. Life isn't always only about money. Corporations exist solely to make money but people don't exist solely to make money. That would be stupid. If that were the only thing to do then I think I would rather perish then live because existing to solely have lots of money and things does not inspire living. It's just existing. Boring!!! Stupid and short-sighted. Have we come down to this? We have learned nothing?

It's good to extend the debate, but so far no one is making a move on Hillary Clinton. Her numbers are steady and increasing and she will get the nomination for the Democrats. The Republicans are a different story. There's going to be a fight there, and they'll go to their convention divided. Can't wait. Bring them on.

As soon as the general public wakes up, vote Ron Paul.

Drop out before you turn into a hippy that wants to save the earth if you lose, and pollute it if you win.

All canidates should drop out after their first term. Public service is a brief civic duty, not a career. Never re-elect anyone!

I'd say when it is discovered that their own son or daughter is rooting for the opposite party...pretty scary.
