I was thinking of playing, but now I'm so sure...
Dem, Independent, or GOP? So far we have an interesting Dem field, with a baseball man, and a Senator. We have young Bernie for the Independents, and the only republican we have is Lamar Alexander (who I’m a huge fan of)

Will debates be same format as 1988:
