Primaries And Electoral politics

I have been watching so much on the primaries and the approaching elections and I have reinforced my belief that the process needs a major overhaul.

For instance, the campaigns in the primaries should be 90 days. They should be publicly funded and winner takes the state. Then once a candidate is picked from each party, then the election process should be 6 weeks long and publicly funded. Issues only! No dragging family into it.

This would help give the campaigns and the elections more significance. And stop the brain drain on the population.
