It should be no more than 90 days for the election cycle. The rest of the time elected officials should be working.

Agreed. Our "process" starts entirely too early.
Personally, I believe that's because of the increased influence of money in campaigns.
Right now, I don't want to support anyone who has declared that they're running, just out of sheer spite.
Not to mention, there isn't anyone, from either side, that I'm willing to support at this point.
I'm also hoping Howard Schultz stays out of the process. Until we get rid of 45, I don't want anyone coming along to "split the vote".
If 45 and Pence are forced out of office before the election, I'll re-visit the whole thing.
