If Glen is talking about what I think he is. It takes me roughly 14 hours, after eating an enchilada, to get a homogeneous result from my simulation of this year's election, but I have a particularly slow moving large intestine.

But even if we admit that the only purpose for the peripheral candidates is to influence the actual candidates, we still have an argument for allowing them to debate.  So, the answer to the question of why they're not in the debate really is because it's _bipartisan_ not nonpartisan.  It's just another example of how the expressivity of your language biases what you do/can understand.

Gary Johnson is not plausible.  Didn't 538 say his odds were 2 in 100?

This simulation ensemble conducted by *FiveThirtyEight *gives some
plausibility to New Mexico becoming the new Florida with Gary Johnson--not
Jill Stein--playing the part of Ralph Nader.  It also gives some non-zero
plausibility to Gary Johnson becoming the next POTUS.  So why isn't Johnson
in the debates?  Isn't plausibility the real criterion?  We need to find
out more about this potential next POTUS.  Yes? 🤔😁
