Nader was the ONLY candidate with a 30 year history of NOTHING BUT PUBLIC SERVICE, and who was NOT beholden to any PAC or donors. He may well have not won the election, but he had met the criteria to be included in the final debate between the candidates. At the 11th hour, the Dems and GOP changed the rules, barring him from the debate. Had he been on that stage, the American public would have been given privy to facts and ideology that the other two candidates could not handle ... thus changing the narrative and PERHAPS setting the stage for the next mid-term elections and future presidential elections.
