It doesn't matter if there are a dozen guys on stage or 4; our media fixates on the "frontrunners". It's just a giant feedback loop. Your boy Hunter never got a fair shake either. There are substantive, philosophical differences between the four candidates, more so than you'll usually see in a primary. Yet most of the debate was he-said/she-said bs. Even the little bit of policy they discussed had no substance. Just the occasional stump speech soundbite.
