They will do it more knowing when they will leave. Ted Cruz, for example, will not be leaving until he decides to retire. And the candidates will often be hand picked for corporate interests, especially in the 75% of districts where the winner by party is a foregone conclusion. Check how many congressional incumbents have lost in the last few decades. The percentage is in the single digits. I get the arguments FOR term limits as well. I feel like this is all pointless hand wringing in the end, unless we stop the practice of partisan gerrymandering. Clearly this country is too far gone to address that rationally.they will all be looking to use their office to set themselves up after they soon leave.
They already do that because they don't know for sure when they will leave. Term limits will limit how chummy government people can get with corruption. This 40 years in office shit needs to stop. It will also lead to younger leaders that are closer to their prime.
