It's almost like we shouldn't have campaign cycles that run for years at a time. I think most sane countries have their entire election season run the span of just a couple months.

Weeks. Europe does weeks.
Being Dutch I'd like to inform you that the leader of our current leading party never stops campaigning, always throwing one-liners everywhere and even tweeting from parliamentary debates.
I was mainly thinking of the French variation I read about. 2 weeks? As an American I’m mostly ignorant of European politics.
That's the official campaign time, but in France the likes of Marine Le Pen will also be looking for ways to make the news all the time.
he'll still spend half of it golfing
It's worse for GOP!
They also have to make Vance NOT creep - even to their own!
The Couch Cushion Crusher Vance?
JD "Sofa King" Vance?
They're saying he couches his replies.
They blew the small amount of money they did have front loading the attacks to built momentum , and the rest is tied up in all of Trump's legal cases, which will cost a fortune and he will lose almost all of.
He has to pay settlement money that was delayed, and now he has a whole new opponent to try and attack, with no money and a huge deficit until past election.
His assassination and best fundraising is all behind him now, and he used it all to attack Biden.
Yeah, sucks to be Trump, I just hope his supporters will wake up to reality. Take those blinders off and stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
I think you are discounting how the election itself can bring eyeballs and green backs. He is only to utter an outrageous statement and create a media buzz. Plus, he has won over most of the media, anyway. Or at least they are willing to grade Trump on a curve.
Rich scum protect their own. That is why US "news" conglomerates always treat him with gloved baby hands.
On the other hand though, there is a vast well of exhaustion with him from people outside his brain rotted fanatics. Given there is now a reasonable-ish alternative, the old rules are not as firm as they were.
i remember when trump started his 2020 campaign. in 2016.
And copied their slogan from the fucking purge!
Vance can't dance
Vance can't talk
The only thing about him is the way that he walks.
Wow a Phil Collins reference about vance
