Yeah, French and British showed us we don't need that much time.

Their territory is also extremely small though so in a week you can cover a lot of places to hold assemblies. Candidates will still want to show up in most States at least once so a month and a half is pretty much the minimum...

Other way around. At 4th largest and 3rd most populated country in the world, the US is extremely oversized and should really be broken up like the banks should.

Candidates will still want to show up in most States at least once

Which is just empty pandering that most voters see right through.

If asked whether they would prefer a campaign stop or an extra week working on policy that helps their state, reasonable people choose the latter every time.

You've made assumptions that I think matter.

many voters see right through that

Yeah but the voters who don't, the voters who can change their mind, are the ones who need that. They're not doing it for the 90% who see through that, they're trying to convince the last 10% to vote for them.

reasonable people choose [better policy] every time

Same thing. They're not going after reasonable people. We've see recently how many people don't care about policy and only care about how the character is displayed
