I hope people can understand my point.

I don't mean to sound "jaded" but I suppose I am.

When reading about news, what is true?  It is disappointing to read stories with lack of background information or worse yet, to read news stories that are obviously biased.

So, my knowledge of politics could use some brushing up... but then, even candidates who appear to have great motives get derailed when they take office.

Sorry this is so negative.

We won't know who "won" until the next polls come out.

If people do not know by now, then do us all a favor and do not vote.

I call that group of people. "low information voters".

There is a difference between, as you call them "low information voters" and being able to identify a person by sight.  Many people get news and current events by listening or reading the information not studying pictures.  My mom knows each and every candidate's name and their position, however I can tell you she will never be able to pick half of them out of a lineup.  Some people are just not visual, does not mean they are not up on the issues.

Names on the podiums would be nice for many people to start putting a face with the name.

Excellent points.

Yesterday on some news type program I was watching, there was an American reporter somewhere in the Mid East, possibly Iran. Anyway, he held up pictures of some of the debate participants, and I was surprised that many of the people on the street knew who Trump and Bush were, and they actually guessed Nancy Pelosi with Carly's picture. They must watch American television on the internet or something, but they are actually more informed than some of our citizens. AND I do not mean anyone here on this chat board, so don't get your knickers in a bunch.

Oh, Hi Ford. I didn't know you had become a Lilac Tree.

Thank you for your comments-- not knee jerk reactions like some of the candidates have said on TV. No one has a plan and its just saber rattling for the most part.

And I couldn't have been more happy to see them all stand up for LIFE.  Nothing else matters to me, if life doesn't.....life isn't a 'act' in a variety show.

There's more to the job than one issue.

Actions speak louder than words and I haven't seen any action on the part of those on that stage.
