    I think term limits on the presidency meant that Trump ran against Clinton instead of Obama.

    Obama was more popular than Clinton.

      Hillary, Why pick her over anyone else when her stigma was so intensely negitive? Isnt their goal to get their person in that chair via the election.

        I would have rather had a third term of Obama than what we got with Trump, and I think term limits for the presidency were a shortsighted mistake.

          I… appreciate that sentiment, but I also fear how history has taught us long terms can lead to leader who… don’t wanna leave. Of course that didn’t stop trump from trying.

            And he had the same term limits as anyone else since 1951. Who fought the peaceful transition of power prior to 1951?
