The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) recently announced their 2016 general debate criteria and – guess what? No change.

This means the ball is rolling! This is an historic event! U.S. voters haven’t seen a third podium on the general presidential debates stage since 1992…Isn’t it time for Fair Debates?
