How to shorten the U.S.Presidential race.

Why didn't I think of this before, or is it because I've finally reached the saturation point of boredom?  Brains and reasonable thinking help, but that's not what this long campaign is all about.  Endurance.  That's the answer.  How many of us could for months, fly around the country on a daily basis, get next to no sleep and appear, everyday, to be earnest, happy and alert?  I'd have been long gone months ago.  Perhaps we should just narrow the field of candidates down with a couple simple tests.  I was going to suggest weekly 'stress tests' but at this point, everyone probably would pass.  My only other suggestion would be quick 'mental normalcy' exams.  But alas, even the experts might disagree on those conclusions.  Sorry.  I think we're right back to square one.  Oh wait.  We could all eliminate watching any political opinion and candidate speech shows until next October.  Yes!  That's it!  I don't think we'd miss a thing, really..............................marge
