I’d like to see campaigns limited to a month or two at the longest.

The problem with the American election cycle is that everyone has combat fatigue halfway through the primaries. Why can’t we hold all the primaries the same day, have the conventions the next week, give the candidates four weeks to bore us to death and then vote?

That’s a total fantasy, I know, but I can dream...

that’d be nice...all primaries on the same day...there is no doubt that republican’s winner take all played a role - the protracted democrat race over months (vs. one day like you say) had everyone deciding who they liked better...hillary or barack.....then, mccain who?
