That will never happen. One of the reasons is because people have this
compulsion of "making their vote count." They don't realize of course
that by voting in the person they don't really want to run a certain
office, their vote really didn't count.
Every presidential election, we say the same thing: There is nobody to
vote for. And that is caused by the ridiculous primary elections.
Primaries should be a one day event like any other election. Who knows?
Perhaps if we did it that way, none of the three stooges we have running
for president today would be here.
