Caucus me! Please! (with ground rules)
On behalf of myself and any other undecided or impartial voters:

I welcome your compelling arguments as to why I should support the candidate you support.

Respectfully, I ask people to follow ground rules for this caucus:


1. Present your case in such a way that your candidate would be proud to quote you

2. Do not bash the other candidate

3. Do not compare the two candidates; write only of your own, and why he/she would make a great president



Thanks!

2. Wow. What a response.
Maybe your ground rules scared them off.

3. LOL.. it was a nice person who was tired and making a joke
But I'm so impressed that nobody else has responded.

Is it that people feel like they've already made enough compelling cases
elsewhere, or people just prefer having cranky debates with each
other?

It's very hard to find a good case being made for either candidate
by their supporters on the candidate's merits alone, without
knocking down the opposition.

It's like watching a group of monsters having a fight with their
reflection in the mirror.
