Turd limits.
If these senators actually believed in term limits they would stop running for reelection. >

They could just grandfather in everyone that’s in now and set limits for their successors, but they don’t even do that. Almost like they are completely opposed to it. >

This would be a smart move for them too. Because the more and more youth who are turning 18 are voting blue, while more and more red voting seniors are passing away. 
The Republican party is dying. Grandfathering the ones who are already in while handicapping future democrats who are poised to be elected and take the majority would be the move. 
But I don't think they're smart enough to do it. Nor humble enough to even grasp the expiration date their party has >

So, Sen. Cruz will stand by his principles and resign at the end of his term since this amendment will not see the light of day? >

Ted Cruz is always looking for attention, unless he's quietly trying to slip away to vacation in Mexico while his state goes through a debacle caused by Republicans. >

When he runs for his next election this bill should be the first thing thrown in his face. Metaphorically of course. >

He assumed he would be on the Supreme Court by now, never thought he'd have to put up or shut up about Senate term limits >

And a paycheck! >

studies have shown that legislative term limits increases political polarization and empowers lobbyists >

Citation?
Exactly what studies, and by whom? >

Not a fan, but term limits are a good thing. >

No, they really aren't. You want people with experience working for you in government, and you want them working for you and not some corporation. Term limits mean they need somewhere else to land after they're done serving in government and makes them even more vulnerable to lobbyist' influence. If you aren't sure about it, just ask yourself why ALEC supports term limits. >


A constitutional amendment for term limits offered by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is nothing more than demagoguery masquerading as a serious proposal. Unless substantially altered, it merits oblivion.
The amendment would limit senators to just two six-year terms and House members to three two-year terms. It is the latter provision that shows this is a proposal meant for show rather than merit or for any real chance of passage. >

He'd pull a Putin and argue it wouldn't apply to him because of his time served before the amendment passed, like how Putin argued that the term limits he set for himself didn't apply because the law wasn't passed until after he was "Elected" the second time. >

The Examiner put this out? Someone is getting fired. >

we should consider a one on / one off election term cycle for all elected offices. one term on, they do their job. one term off. then they can start again, campaigning to get that job back. >

no shit >

Seems like the headline could be reused multiple times if it was rewritten as Ted Cruz isn't serious, he's just looking for attention. >

I wish 10 Democrats would just jump on this automatically and back his efforts to do this so he can't back out of it
