366 days since 2016 is a leap year. They just put up decorations at the malls here for Christmas, and they'll be putting up decorations for Christmas in 2016 before we vote. And this thing has already gone for close to a year at this point.
Any questions on why it costs so much for presidential elections?
Anyone burnt out yet?

(14,449 posts)It is too long. I think starting now would be ok. I don't like a primary day because little known politicians would never make it. A year prior seems better then current.

(631 posts)To start perhaps in May or June of election year. It's way too long the way it is. This one started about 1/2 way into Obama's second term. If it keeps going thus way, pretty soon we're going to have 4 year campaigns starting the day after the election - and in a sense we already do. Most people were saying at this time last year that Hillary Clinton was going to be our nominee. It's ridiculous!
