I love parties.

I’m having one for the Super Bowl.

Seriously, the Republican Party was founded by northerners in order to make serious changes. They did that.

I do not think that we need a new Political Party. I think that we need to get people to stop voting for incumbents. One term and out would work for me in EVERY ELECTED OFFICE.

Situation was way different in 1860. Four different candidates won electoral votes that year.

"One term and out....in every office"

Sounds nice, until you look at it.

New legislators have a steep learning curve, it can be daunting.

They rely on professional staffers to guide them, kinda like boot officers rely on old NCO's.

This cadre of professional staffers is already dangerous as hell, giving them newbies to mold every two years would only increase their unelected influence.

Disastrous!!
