The other three are embarrassments. Take the big money out of politics and you'll have term limits. Limit donations to no more than $100 from an individual, corporation, or group, and mandate plenty of free air and debate time on broadcast and cable TV, and I think that would assure turnover. Democrats would not go for open debates. Neither would the Republicans. They all remember being embarrassed by Perot. Well, then, that would encourage a new crop of candidates who can debate. Oh...Perot...the crazy man. It was Perot who buried them with the bitter truth about the debt, bad trade deals that drove the Clinton/Gingrich tax hikes and spending cuts. It was Harry Browne who asked the questions that embarrassed them. At any rate, after that, nobody but the machine candidates were allowed to debate.
