We go through the primaries first, so, just one state at a time for now, no need to get on the ballots that early.

I'm running for a third party, so things are a bit different.

If you are at the legal age, you just have to announce it and you're on the ballot.

Sweet. I'm guessing Bobby being 55 is of legal age

Ooh, big error in that rebuttal-as a percentage of GDP, the Saudis spend far more on their military than the U.S. does.

Yeah, but this is a percentage-based question, since it is based off of taxes. Not common knowledge, but the Middle Eastern powers spending high GDP percentages on their militaries is fairly well known for those with some foreign policy knowledge-which includes politicians.

Well, I always refrain from looking stuff up when in-debate, since it seems to given an unfair advantage, I just stick with what I know, and if I do not know it-well, politicians are not infallible. I know about the high GDP bit, for instance, but I do not know the percentage-I think around 13%.

Please do something, exciting in the debate, Turing sounds like a university professor lecturing an uninterested 1st year class.
