    I have a “fascinating” idea: before folks dismiss candidates as unelectable or not likeable or not ready, how about we let them run, advocate their vision, and let’s see who is revealed in the bright lights of a Presidential primary process?

        This works if everyone is listened to, judged, their ideas weighed on the same scale.

        Sure! Why not? What a bright idea? Let everyone be heard. And tell the media not to report on one particular candidate more than the others.

        And maybe we could either ask if the male candidates are also “likable”, or stop applying this idea to only females, or ... both.

        That has been my view all along. See what each person has to say, listen to the debates, research. Everyone in a huff already. Breathe.

        Great idea, @matthewjdowd. It's a "happy problem" to have to choose one among many who want to make your life better.

        Meh. I'd rather just leave a one star Yelp review because I went there once at midnight and it was closed.
