Trump prefers as many people on the stage as possible so he can flail his arms until time runs out. Now, with only 2 candidates, the spotlight will focus most on this fraud. Moderators need to call him on the lies and lack of policy knowledge.
Should add criteria is pretty skewed. They average various polls where some place him at or above the threshold, some place him below but is at the threshold due to margin of error, and so forth.
I feel not adding Johnson/Weld to the debates tarnishes the Election cycle and places voters at a great disadvantage. This shows the influence of the two political party system is and the influence of the main stream media.
Zero national polls placed him above the threshold, not a one. Highest was 13 in one single poll. And the margin of error goes both ways so if he was at 13 with 4% MoE, that means his real support is just as likely 9% as it is 17%.
If Johnson's message was resonating with voters, he'd be polling higher, end of story.
Only reason Johnson is not that high is only 40% know of Johnson it grew 20% believe from May, don't quote me on that.
The MSM has a great influence and cause great disadvantage to the voters only focusing on Trump & Clinton.
This is not new.
We know both parties want to keep others out.
Johnson knows that as well. He knows the rules.
He also needs to know what Aleppo is. As long as this Syria fiasco has been going on - and he wants to be president - and he was totally clueless. He has to pitch a perfect game just to be included in the debates. Total lost opportunity on his part...
I hope Johnson either holds Town Hall meetings near the location of the debates or at military bases. Then hold a Q & A day of the debate and prior to the Town Hall meeting. Air the Town Hall meeting on You Tube and other social media services where questions can be sent in. Then read air the Town Hall meeting on C-Span the day after and have an open invite for the Press to the Town Hall meeting.

Not a bad idea, you should contact the campaign with it. He's never going to get higher in the polls if he doesn't do more to engage voters.
He's out there from what I've read. Think at times he is on Facebook not sure if it is him or his campaign. He does make videos. Then a lot of supporters send in videos that he puts on his website. Did hear as mentioned above looking into holding town hall meetings in the cities/towns where the debates are being held if not allowed to participate in the debates. Will see what happens.
