Get term limits and suddenly lobbying becomes a worse investment. Right now you suck Mitch’s dick 10 years ago and the gravy train suddenly has fewer brakes than the Trump train.

Nobody should be a career politician. You serve a few years then get the fuck out.

Remeber, its the politicians that take the lobby money. We need to replace them all, no exceptions.

Trump has no financial motivation to stay in politics...

Contrast this with someone like Rubio that gets his first big paycheck from getting to the Senate.

They need to do:

  1. term limits
  2. salary change (you get median of national average)
  3. limited time in session (part of the year)

Only way this happens is convention of states.
