First point. I was a young boy when Kennedy and Nixon had the first televised debate. I have a lot of experience in watching. Kennedy was calm, cool and collected. He spoke to the point. By contrast, Nixon looked extemely uncomfortable. Perspiring profusely. Even as a boy, ithe contrast was evident.

Second point. I don't care about Ron Paul, Clinton or anyone else at this point. For better or for worse, this country has pretty much always been a 2 party system.
That's who I want to hear.

On the first point you have to elaborate, I could try to assume what you mean but don't really want to.
On your second point, you are mistaking them for third party candidates, one ran as D other as R and neither is going independent. I would look up what third parties have done for your country if you really think that is the case with only 2 parties having influence, or perhaps blacks should get back on the cotton fields and women should not be allowed to vote.
Even if third parties didn't have that history I still don't think "well it's been that way" is a good argument to have no progress.

A) Elaborate how? Largely based off that debate, Kennedy became president. Did you know he was president? Am I assuming too much?

B) I used different examples for a reason. It wasn't a mistake.

A) Explain what do you mean and how does it have to what you quoted.
B)What reason?

I was told in HS history class that the only reason Nixon looked to be losing was that he refused to wear makeup--thought it was girly. So JFK was sweating under the studio lights too, it was just hidden under cosmetics. Dunno the truth of it, but that's what I heard.

Speaking of 3rd candidate:

I work for an online gaming site, right? So someone just called in, and insisted on making a wager on Hillary Clinton to win. I informed her that she wasn't a nominee for any party, so we had no odds on her. She insisted that the Democrats were going to nominate her in the next few days, in a "sudden change of mind"

Nixon also banged his knee on the car door on the way.
