The only way to give all a fair chance is to change the rules regarding financing sources, length of campaigning, the whole electoral system, etc., among other things, to give less moneyed candidates a chance, but unfortunately, that's the reality of the US elections today. Why can't campaigning be limited to, say, three months, and have primaries on one day, etc. So many things about this election process need to change.
