I will note that you started a thread this week on why the presidential debate when the candidates weren’t know. Correct so how could a state demand an unknown person? 

It’s one thing to grasp for words while keeping a train of thought when speaking, but it’s another to have 10-20 seconds pauses and blank stares and then saying “oh well”

Just learn how to comprehend what you read.  It wasn’t difficult to understand!  

Thoughts… Nonsense and taken way out of context.  There are ballot deadlines but this is not talking about the final ballot deadline for a specific person on the November general election. Those deadlines I believe are for political parties to submit to the state that the party intends to put up a candidate. It isn’t for naming the candidate. So the DNC and RNC have until those listed dates to say, we plan to put our candidate on the ballot in November. It doesn’t require naming the candidate. That date will come later but there are no conventions ever held that early with almost all DNC and RNC conventions being held in July and August. How could a state demand a name when no one knows the name in June in most presidential elections years.  So the dates are correct but the context is absolutely false in my opinion. 

Duh! It’s an expression. Ok……barely alive.
