Term limits are a dead issue outside a constitutional amendment process. The only leverage Trump had here is to support candidates in primaries against fossils like McCain and McConnell.
Yes, but how many people know that - and remember when the SC ruled that states could not impose term limits for their Federal Representatives and Senators? And how many believe that the President can impose term limits by fiat?
Lots and lots of uniformed people live in this country.
Hmm...intriguing....what if Trump visibly and prominently campaigns in the midterm primary against entrenched GOP candidates?

True. But the bully pulpit was designed for Trump. He can start the movement and carry it forward.
