Is there any way to remove primary debates for candidates that are facing no primary challengers? Like if a sitting president ala Bush in 2004, has no rival from the start? I’d like to keep the option for the player to play a long shot primary challenging against the president, but as it stands I will simply have to remove the debates for the presidential candidate’s party all together since it is simply silly and, frankly, infuriating for the incumbent president to get “win’s the Debate” headlines when he has no challenger.
There’s currently no way to do this. However, the suggestion to allow no primaries debates for a party if the candidate is the only one left in the party is noted.
It would also be nice if the game would cancel debates if all all the other candidates have dropped out by the time it occurs.
Thanks for the feedback, Pilight.
