Regardless of who wins in this year’s elections, I have some suggestions for 2016.
1. Candidates may not announce their intention to run until Feb. 1.
2. There will be a national primary in May. All states, the same day. Iowa and New Hampshire are wonderful states with wonderful citizens but they should not have as much say as they do.
3. Debates will take place in August or September. The debates will be broadcast and when they are over, the networks will resume regular broadcasting. We do not need news reporters to tell us what we should think about what was said or not said, who won, etc.
I also have a suggestion to combat obesity in children. Make soccer our national sport. I have followed my grandson’s soccer teams for years. He is now 17. I have not seen a fat soccer player. And kids who throw away their fruit at lunch cannot complain about being hungry.
