      Colluding involves communication and coordinated ation. They don’t need to collude because excluding third parties is in their best interest.

      Both parties are still wary after the outcome in 1992 when Ross Perot received nearly 20% of the vote after being included in the debates. Neither want to risk having a wildcard on stage.
