In some ways it makes sense if one or more candidates are people we know very little about, just to give us all time to get to know them, and to give them time to reveal more about who they really are. But when we already know as much about the candidates as we do this year, 3 months is more than enough.
When things drag on it almost feels like special interests are just vetting their pony. Like how can we make this one trot? Will they walk backwards? What else can we make them do?
It always draws us into the center and if the right is skewing even further right we all get dragged right.
We don’t need a year to make us feel sick of the process and everyone involved.
Yes, it seems there is no reason an election campaign has to be so long

The reason is brinkmanship. You can see the same thing with the date Christmas season begins at retail stores.
