Election cycles should be changed

20 debates, 24 months of electioneering, ignorant political commentators, very biased national media, hate speak to no end, churches openly advocating this candidate or that candidate; I wonder how much worse it can get.

I think national election rules should be instituted as follows:

No primary can be held before June 1 of the year elections are being held.  No candidate may file or commence campaigns before April 1 of the year elections are being held.  Political conventions must be held in August of the year elections are being held. 

Robocalls, phone campaigning, email campaigning, social media campaigning should be outlawed.  

Negative ads should not be permitted.  If a candidate can't get elected on what HE/SHE stands for, he/she has no business campaigning.

Just think.  All the campaigning and associated media garbage condensed into 7 months instead of a continual barrage of whining, insulting, mud slinging, and irritating ads, mailings, phone calls, etc.
