| Mr Khan said: I thought third party candidates got in if they are polling high enough? Granted we run into chicken-egg problems with that, but if there were someone on the level of a Ross Perot or (heaven forbid) a Strom Thurmond on board this time around, i would think there would be no issue getting equal billing. |
They require 15% on three national polls. The problem is, the candidates were never included in the national polls. It's apparently obvious that this was planned from the get-go, the same thing happened with Johnson in the GOP debates... you needed a certain percent to get in to the debates, but Johnson was never included in the polls... as such, he only ever ended up in 2 of all those debates that happened.
It's a rigged game.
