re: #102 Killgore Trout

The last Republican debate season was insanely long. All the serious candidates have said whatever they wanted to within the first half dozen or so debates, the rest is mostly repetition. Also, both parties would be smart to limit the unelectable nutty candidates. Ron Paul, Mike Gravel, Al Sharpton and Michelle Bachman can be good entertainment value but they take up valuable time from the serious candidates.

If there’s enough legitimate serious candidates to eliminate the obvious loons within the first couple of debates, the rest can be used to let candidates react to breaking news; I’d like to know how which of my potential presidents measure their response while waiting for more info, and which just fly off the handle.
