Best news I've received so far today. He is not the right guy for that job.

It was not the intent of the framers of our Constitution for elected politicians to be career politcians. They intended citizen representatives to be elected to represent their constituents and then return home to their normal day jobs. The politicians realized they could become rich by remaining in power and the longer they are in power the richer they become. It was supposed to be an opportunity to serve one's country not capitalize on it.

See my post two posts after yours in the thread you reference.

We will never be able to vote enough of them out with the gerrymandering that takes place. Therefore, neither term limits nor election is the practical answer as things stand now.

The people get the government they vote for. They deserve it and I hope they get it good and hard.

We are never going to vote our way out of the mess. The vote means nothing. Everything that happens in DC is planned.

I would agree if gerrymandering the districts were eliminated. Until they are, we need term limits for all elected officials.

I don't think it matters. Washington is not the answer to what ails America. God is.

Defeatist attitude? Ultimately, I agree God is in control. I also believe we are to continue the fight and promote Godly principles and our Constitution. I hope I've never given the impression D.C. is the answer. I believe less D.C. is what we need and that is what I'm willing to fight for.

So, no one has a preference, just predictions?

Let's see your preferred replacement.

Answered prayers.
