How do term limits help us? We already have term limits - it's called elections. The Republicans are fine with electing any old seat warmer to rubber stamp their agenda. Term limits won't hurt them. In a two party system, anything that does not hurt them cannot help us.

She's for term limits? Something that will never pass anyway? She's a good candidate.

Of course not. I fully support her candidacy. I don't think we should push term limits, that's all.
