Do you think it would have been better for America's mental health....?

I know some people who make up their minds at the last min.. Although I am 69, "happy birthday to me,..." I waited til the last min, about the pest of two candidates in the primary here. I do admit it is mostly crap and lies. and I do believe it could be condensed to a couple of months. However, the big money boys who own the candidates also own most of the TV and radio stations. Covering the campaign's and primaries adn trying to hype them up to mean something is a much cheaper way to fill air time than running around looking for real news. It is kinda like a day time soap that runs on for two years, "as the Romney turns", McCain of our lies", " the trouble with bill", Hilliary faces life", "Obama of Angels", and last but not least, "the tail of two Shrubs, or showing your ax in the white House)"
