12. He doesn't have to debate, and he won't. Arnie was the test subj for that
I believe that.

They needed to see if the electorate would trounce any candidate unwilling to speak about his record, beliefs, policy ideas. Et voila, no problem. The sheeple are perfectly willing to accept a candidate saying they 'don't have time' and keep the votes rolling in for that candidate.

Because, in essence, the american electorate doesn't really want to hear the TRUTH about a candidate's idiocy. The media spin is perfect. They throw their votes behind the candidate most likely to not make them think about reality. Why, it's better than crappy TV for numbing the mind. Wah hoo.
