1. Oh, Republicans, when you look to HRC to save you I will laugh. nt.

  We already know the only ones who will 'save' us is ourselves.

4. Many experts think this will lead to more corruption

Because lobbyists will have more influence over inexperienced legislators.

5. How about draining the swamp that is your mouth Donny?

This P.O.S. is such a pathologic liar who cannot stop projecting his own serious character flaws on to others. He won't ever take any kind of personal responsibility for his bullshit. And unfortunately he passes this shit in in his demon spawn progeny. Go F yourself Fonny.

9. "Major" "proposals" three weeks out

Good Lord. It's amateur hour.

Trump has been talking policy for the last year. You just won't listen.

15. It's gerrymandering that's the issue not term limits

Maybe he can join Obamas group after his defeat to fix that

31. No

Since term limits were enacted in my state, republicans have a supermajority that just keeps growing. It takes more money to win the first time than Dems can usually raise.

37. Sweet smoking Jesus - I see so many otherwise progressive people wanting term limits.

Such a Libertarian view of the Federal Government....

38. Insane attempt to get rid of most powerful Dems in gerrymandered districts. Racist too.

Some of the most powerful members of Congress are ranking members and black because blacks and Dems are gerrymandered into districts so unbalanced a Republican will never unseat them. So this.

They absolutely loved gerrymandering when they controlled it and still do in places like CA and NY.  This strawman is just a desperate attempt to  explain away the real grass roots movement that put thousands of Republicans in legislative seats across the country.

[DumbAss Tanker]

There's a lot of room to argue about what the limits should be, but this is a very damn' popular idea, despite the DUmmie naysayers.

I don't understand this post.  Like PaperRoses, I need help. 

The only time I didn't like term limits as a concept was when Giuliani had to step down as mayor.  Otherwise, I'm for it.  I'm hopelessly stuck with Upchuck Schumer, and the people of NY tend to go with the incumbent anyway.  You can't sandblast some of those people out of there, no matter what.
