The Brits have national elections on a couple months notice. In only the USA do national elections take up a permanent status. This is one of the major problems with our political system here. We cannot get anything done because there is never-ending political warfare, never-ending presidential campaigns.
It is mindless and silly to do it this way.
I don't give a fuck who is running or not running in 2016 at this time. We will find out next year. And the debates will happen in autumn 2016, just before the election.
I hope your post was satirical, my friend.
My best regards.
