First let's have a third party candidate who isn't a nutjob before we start inviting them to debates.
Nader was not a nutjob, and neither was Johnson or Stein.
Yeah, there aren't really any major third party candidates I agree with more than a generic Democrat, but that classification is a bit unfair.

It's not in the Republicans' or Democrats' interests to allow minor third party candidates into the debates, so it isn't going to happen, regardless of what this group thinks the rules are.

It seems to me it would hurt Republicans significantly more with the Libertarian Party essentially being the largest third party atm. Am I wrong in saying that, anybody? (Legitimate question)
