I feel so strongly about preventing perpetual campaigning that I would amend the Constitution to do it.
The conditions of November 2016 that will govern voter behavior (THIRTY MONTHS FROM NOW!!!) are unknowable.
Lining up behind a candidate before the 2014 midterm results are known is absurd.
If I had my way, the first primary would be 1 June 2016. Actually, if I had my way, I would ban primaries.
I like the way you think, JN. However, I have to take sustenance in the real world. I don’t want the candidate to be selected before the midterms either. I do however know who it is I could throw my unqualified support behind when the time comes.
Trust in this, if Cankles is able to get herself up off of the living room futon and accept her party’s coronation, it will be extremely difficult to defeat her in the general election.
The right will have to be on it’s game to win in November 2016.
