      People tend to just vote for the incumbent, which is how we’ve got senators so old they’re stroking out on camera and have conservators, because they refuse to yield power or retire. This is why we need term limits.

        If not term limits we really should have age maximums to go with the minimums that already exist. People over 70 shouldn’t be making policy decisions they likely won’t be alive to see tye affects of.
