    “The moment of transition became clear, given the internal dynamics of the Green Party,” West said. “The procedures and requirements for debate, you have to go to various Green Party events in a variety of different states. … I said, ‘Oh my God, this is a lot of energy and time and effort.’”

    This man wants to be president? We already had President Goofus (“Now watch this drive”) and President Fatass (“Hamberders”).

      From that quote, it sounds like he’s completely unaware of the time and effort to get on the ballot for every state as an independent. A lot more than “various Green Party events in a variety of different states.”
