(10,279 posts)Mitch McConnell was first elected to the Senate in 1984. If there were 3 term limits on the Senate, He would have departed on or before 2002. Sen. Lindsey Graham was elected in 2002, and would have been slapped in the ass by the Senate door in 2020.
Those Senators have killed over 250,000 of us because of their fear of Trumpism voters. I have had enough. I think it is time to put term limits on the Senate.
The usual argument against term limits is that it also takes out excellent DEM Senators. To which, I point out that has not been enough to moderate the behavior of a rogue president.
Since Repugs dislike DEM Senators as much as DEMs dislike the Repug Senators, and the public overall has a low opinion of Congress, the time may be ripe to term limit them.
