Term limits in California have been a disaster. What we got was a string of nameless incompetents planning to be future lobbyists if they couldn't move up the ladder.
When people are frustrated they want to vent and not think too deeply of unintended consequences of part-time / cut-rate government and "revolving doors" — they are looking for simple and easy answers (often provided by competing special interests)...
But just, as one example, who is going to run all the investigations of Clintons and Obamas and oversee all the runaway agencies and their unaccountable bureaucrats if the people "cut their pay and send them home"? If many Congress critters are not doing the job or not doing it well, that is no reason to slash and burn - people may end up with even weaker, less accountable and responsive institutions and system.

Describes this primary season perfectly. Conservatives have joined the angry mob.
