2.7 I Know You Were Trouble When You Walked In (Silly Democrats)

1. Organizes and schedules the Democratic party's primary debates,

2. The debates are likely to be held on days with the highest viewership. They do not happen on the nights with the least viewership, Saturday and Sunday, but they do happen on the nights with the most viewership, which is currently Thursday.

3. Republicans schedule their debates on dates that have been known to have very high viewership, but the Democrats have only scheduled one debate on Thursday.

4. Democrats have debates scheduled on a Saturday, six days before Christmas, which is also a Saturday,and the Sunday night of Martin Luther King Day weekend. Their debates are basically just badly planned according to statistics, that is if they are looking for viewership anyway.

5. Since the debates are on low viewership days, Hilary gets less bad press coverage. She also gets to solidify support coming in to her from moderates, while also not giving her competitors a real chance to one up her per se.

6. Bernie Sanders won't get as much exposure or attention, since their is less viewership on the days of the debates. This gives him less publicity he needs to get the edge over Hilary.

7. A lot of Sander's support is not originating from viewers of the debates anyhow, so the negative impact will not be that large. Most of his support, especially from the younger supporters will still thrive through online social networking and media.

8. Barely anyone knows much about O'Malley, much less that he is still even in the race. So without this publicity, he is deader than he already is. In other words, it is extremely hard/bad for him, but does it really matter though? Like, does it really matter though? Like, does it really matter though? (Childish Gambino Voice)

2.6 All These Lights, They Can't Blind Me... Nobody Can Drag Trump Down

1. The other candidates have to have equal opportunity to have time on air that is not news or interview related.

2. They can ask to be on air for free to get their own messages out to voters.

3. If they rerun the episode, then that is more air time that Trump is getting, thus they have to offer that much more free air time to all of the other political candidates running against trump as well.

4. Section 315(a) does not really ask broadcast stations to cover political candidates, but if a candidate is on the air, then stations are required to offer the same to all the rivals of the candidate.

5. The original intention was to make the elections fair and promote debate, but instead the doctrine actually pulls away from the candidates and often ends up roadblocking the good debates that could ensue regularly.

6. Bona fide news events are  broadcasts or documentaries, and under section 315a, the media station is not obliged to give any other candidate anything in addition for these. The FCC also decided that political debates would fall under this category.

7. The FEC has a broad media exemption that allows programs about political candidates. If the FEC decides that a canidate's air time does not meet its regulations, then it can claim the appearance was a campaign contribution or expenditure. This would add up, and lead to reaching contribution limits faster, disclosure requirements and possible fines would also be negatively affected. The FEC can do this by themselves, without having to us the 315(a) clause at all.

2.5 All I Feel is Pain, Surviving on my Own, All I Feel is Pain, Surviving on my Own (know the struggle)

1. The RNC was unhappy with the treatment of NBC moderators against the GOP candidates through the use of unfair tactics and biased questions.

2. The Republican Party has the power to cancel Republican Primary Debates for any reason they feal is unfair.

3. My Favorite Quazi Insult

Addressing Jeb Bush, Harwood asserted, "The fact that you're at the fifth lectern tonight shows how far your stock has fallen." He continued: "Ben Bernanke said he no longer considers himself a Republican because the Republican Party has given into know-nothingism. Is that why you're having a difficult time in this race?"

4. Jonah Goldberg says that the Democrats are treated as the social norm. The media unprofessionally has bias towards them and against republicans. Often times, Republicans are treated as outcasts and asked unfair questions and such, and the media is congratulated for this treatment by viewers and democratic activists.

5. Republican Party and Republican presidential campaigns control the Republican primary debates . They choose who will be the host for and moderate the candidate debates.

6. Conservatives often feel that the media is rooting against them. Republican presidents since Nixon have been skeptical of the media. There has been longstanding hostility between the Republican party and many major Republican media outlets.

7. The media has too much power in modern politics for the Republican Party to isolate itself from it. The Republicans also need to pick up the independent, moderate, and swing votes from people through the media.

8. I think the candidates, for the most part would follow orders because they would want the approval and endorsement of their party, making he more supported by followers of the party, and giving them a slightly better chance at getting the seat within the party. The benefits of this would likely outweigh the possible consequences of what would happen if they went against their party, for a little more media attention.

9. The advantages would be more fairness in their media, since the republican party would be involved in it, it would also include the party's approval and support, and a higher chance of getting the endorsement and final vote from the party's officials.

10. The disadvantages would be less media attention, the loss of a chance to earn swing votes, and the loss of a real chance to show political knowledge by having to go through tougher, and maybe more biased opposition in debates and questions.

2.4 Shawty's like a Melody in My Head That I Can't Keep Out Got Me Singing Like (Jeb Jeb Jeb Jeb)

1. Bush's campaign has the most endorsements, the most money, the better-known candidate, and he is displayed as the major front-runner of the race

2. Bush's campaign is negatively effected by his struggle in the polls recently, and his fundraising is decreasing because his campaign is struggling with money, and has to cut back, to keep going.

3. Marco Rubio is a better general election candidate since he is a dynamic speaker and he takes risks, and he impresses staffers on both sides of the aisle who've worked with him. Rubio has a better chance than Bush against Clinton according to polls.

4. Bush struggles a lot with hard questions directed towards his opinions and decisions of his brother such as invading Iraq. His plans for immigration reform are very underdeveloped, causing him to fade on this issue.  He also struggles with understanding Clinton's campaign strategy.

5. Bush would only drop out to endorse Rubio so that a unelectable candidate like Trump would be dead in his tracks.Although Rubio does have a good chance at beating Bush, Bush should not be underestimated in the amount of support he can rally, using his money, connections, and political knowledge.
