    I would have rather had a third term of Obama than what we got with Trump, and I think term limits for the presidency were a shortsighted mistake.

      I… appreciate that sentiment, but I also fear how history has taught us long terms can lead to leader who… don’t wanna leave. Of course that didn’t stop trump from trying.

        Of course that didn’t stop trump from trying.

        And he had the same term limits as anyone else since 1951. Who fought the peaceful transition of power prior to 1951?
