2020 Presidential Election Calendar
As has been the case since 1972, Iowa will hold the first presidential nominating contest in 2020. Its caucuses will be held on February 3. This will be followed by February contests in the other traditionally early voting states of New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. Super Tuesday follows on March 3. That date will be even more prominent in 2020 as California moves up its traditional June primary. By the end of March, events covering well over 50% of each party’s delegates will have taken place. The Democratic convention is in July, with the GOP following in August. The 2020 presidential election is scheduled for November 3

1. Sounds like another hot mess

India 1.35 billion/ election cycle of 6 weeks


America 3oo million 2 year election cycle


i'm sure there is a happy median somewhere there.

2. You don't mind giving up the right to have a voice in candidate selection, right?

Indian Party leaders save you from that time-consuming chore.

3. and how does having 2 yr election cycles give you more choice in candidates?

It sure doesn't give you any more real information on a candidate

4. Depends on how you choose to engage with it...

We begin our Presidential campaigns with face to face candidate events. If you want to do more than watch TV and read social media, you can engage with as many candidates as you want, ask questions, see how they address policy issues, etc. I do it every cycle.

5. out of all the debates so far combined

you could get more info out of 5 minutes reading on their websites

and just think of the savings.

6. I'm not interested in a policy paper...

I'm interested in how they engage with real people, how they address issues for which they didn't write a policy paper, how they handle hecklers, etc.
