Although Goldy was always destined to finish a distant third, and she really didn't have any great new ideas to table, the fact that she finished third should be embarrassing to those debate organizers who invited (up to 3) other candidates to their debates who did far worse at the polls. It reveals those organizers as being political operatives, rather than just organizations trying to provide public access and exposure to the front runners (as a public service). It makes Bell look particularly bad in denying her paid advertising.
