Shouldn't we have a chance to see him live? That's the press's job. He's a candidate for President of an influential part of the globe, and the result is in no way in the bag at this point. If they DIDN'T show it people would complain they were hiding his inability to speak in complete sentences, and the complainers would be right.

Wouldn't a candidate with a 75 - 25 lead be ahead by 50 points? Admittedly, math isn't my strong suit. onenote Aug 2024 #30

Well ... Metaphorical Aug 2024 #78

Wrong. A at 25 and B at 75 is ahead by 50 points. But A has to be at or less than 25 for it to be possible. . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2024 #86
