Serial entrepreneur Norbert Richter claims no relation to the inventor of the Richter Scale, but if his breakthrough idea is successful, he’ll be causing political tremors for decades. Richter has used his failed congressional primary challenge as inspiration for a free market workaround that has the potential to be voter–imposed term limits.
His new organization, FireYourCongressman.com, bypasses the roadblock that has stopped every federal term limits proposal: Incumbent professional politicians who intend to die in office. Curator of the Senate Mitch McConnell’s clichéd response to voter’s desire for term limits is always a dismissive ‘that’s what elections are for.’ Knowing the chances of being beaten in a primary are miniscule. In 2016 only six incumbents lost to primary challengers.
We have term limits.
Primary out the weasels.
We in VA-7 showed you how it’s done.
I get the feeling that, somehow, Democrat incumbent challengers will never quite qualify for funding through this pac, but Republican incumbent challengers will always have plenty of money.
Except maybe for the Tea Party.
Oops.
