3. There isn't any reason to have the Clown Car primary presented by the GOP in 2012.

I would think the show would indicate it is a stupid move to run the same thing over and over. People were tired of the debates. We are not the GOP. If our candidate can not present their agenda in six debates then twenty more is not going to help. We should be presenting qualified candidates who know who they are. It is disappointing to see possible candidates jumping on the limited debates and making an issue of this.
