I am seriously not trying to be rude or pick a fight, but I’m not getting your point. Are you saying that we should NOT have term limits because the “stooges” that are staying in Congress and the Senate for decades (building personal power & wealth over the years at the expense of America & becoming more & more isolated from their supposed constituents) will then become lobbyists?
I’ll take my chances with the stooges as lobbyists instead of voting in bad law and to rid us of the likes of John McCain, Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, et al. Better yet, along with term limits, bar permanently anyone from being a lobbyist who has been a Congresscritter or Senator. I’ve seen that suggested in other places and I like it.
You are assuming all of them are. Would you characterize Coburn, Inhofe, and Sessions as such? Nor do you wish to keep Cruz, Lee, Scott... No, you'd toss them all and replace them with lobbyist shills without a legislative record.

Well then you'd love the California legislature. Term limits are no fix for an ignorant electorate dominated by an indentured constituency selecting people nobody knows and funded by their handlers.
