Larry Lessig Ends Presidential Campaign, Citing Unfair Debate Rules (washingtonpost.com)

Posted by samzenpus on from the going-home dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Harvard law professor Larry Lessig is ending his run for the Democratic presidential nomination. Lessig blames the demise of his campaign on party rules that have left him "shut out" of the Democratic debates. "The party won't let me be a candidate," Lessig said in his final campaign video. "I can't ask people to support a campaign that I know can't get before the members of the Democratic Party."

    Based on results of the wars on drugs, poverty, crime, etc. We need a president to declare war on intelligence. I have high hopes for President Trump or Carson on this.
