Reply #101: that's a fair point [View All]

but it's a moot point, ultimately.

Nobody wishes more than me that Kucinich's ideas would be taken more seriously. But him being in the debate is not going to change that. He's not going to be taken seriously, no matter how many debates he participates in.

You have to be practical about it. There's only three democrats who are going to be the nominee. The public deserves a lively, in-depth debate between those three.

Kucinich had numerous debates to get his message out and gain traction with the public. He failed to do so. Dodd, Biden and Richardson did also, they too failed, and did the honorable thing and stepped aside to give the others an opportunity to fight on uninterupted.

He should do the same.
