This is so low to stoop to this. Our election cycle is just WAY WAY too long. Canada it’s only six weeks. Why do we need two years of this crap? It’s not good for anyone, not the candidates, not the people and certainly not the Country.
I agree. Instead of talking about Iran or North Korea or the national debt we are talking about GQ cover shoots and alleged adultery. Yes this will surely help our country recover from Obama.
“Why do we need two years of this crap?”
Arguably, it took a year to find out this stuff about Cruz. It took a year to learn that Trump was serious and a tough old bird. It took about a year to learn about Rubio’s hanging around with the homo crowd.
A 6 week campaign would have given us Bush.
One could argue it's been good for the party and America to unmask such grand deceit.
There are several candidates that would not be mortally harmed by such revelations, but the Anointed Mr. Holier Than Thou is not one of them. For him it's fatal.
And Ted was a Canadian citizen until a couple of years ago when, brilliant attorney that he is, he discovered that having been born in Canada made him a Canadian citizen !!
We'd all be better off if Ted had gone back to Canada and run for office.
So you're just another person who had their dream shattered by Ted who now has to endure US elections rather than only six sweet weeks in Canada.
I agree but if it were six weeks. We could have a president Cruz with a woman problem coming out of the woodwork. Can you imagine that? I’d rather find out Cruz’s cheating now to stop him getting to the White House. If for no other reason then saving the interns from a president Cruz.
Because the media and political consulting homies gots to gets paid!
long election seasons are one of the many DC gravy trains.
Oh my gosh, I must be getting eye strain. I read your post as “erection” cycle. This sex thing sure has us all in a tither.
It’s this way because the Rats and the GOPee WANT it this way. It’s for the same reason that we have budget deficits.
There are 536 individuals in DC, counting the POTUS, who pontificate and lie their buttocks off, decrying budget deficits. Well, since those 536 liars are the REASON we HAVE budget deficits, and consequently HAVE a $20 TRILLION National Debt, is because they ALL VOTED for them.
For that same reason, our primary and general election set-up is a slobovian fire drill. They want it this way.
It seems sensible to limit the election campaign period but that is actually shortsighted.
Allowing a long election cycle allows candidates to be fully vetted such as John Edwards.
The problem is not the length of the campaign period, the problem is the media and its lies, its omissions, its spiking of stories that favor the democrats.
I agree that the election cycle is way too long, but I clearly remember the seemingly daily “ bimbo eruptions “ of the Bubba Clinton days and I have absolutely no desire to have a repeat. This would not have come to light in a short cycle.
I was just thinking the opposite of what you wrote : )
We NEED this long election cycle because the candidates true natures come out when they go through the process over a period of time, and people can observe how they act and react.
Many people who were for a particular candidate now regret that vote/support and have switched to another candidate.
