people got scared when FDR won a third term, wouldn't you have been?
....how many Championships? And played in how many Championship games?
Why is it we need to change things every 4/8 years when it comes to our President? If it's working why it up? What business does that?
I love ya honey and we had some great times but, your 8 years is up.
We get a guy doing a great job, keep him, makes total sense.

What successful company dumps all it's leaders every 4/8 years? Why are so many of our military leaders old men with a ton of experience?
Experience.....is the key to everything. Why never let our main man gain that much needed expereince? How dumb is....ya better figure it out in four years or we'll dump your ass....huh?
If we as a nation are happy with how things are going then why change anything?
Never use one example, it doesn't matter what happened with FDR.
Dude, work with me here.
What school/franchise would get rid of a guy doing a great job, ok? That really had to be explained?
Because the most important political position in the world is analogous to a sports coach...
Mexico has a better system. You have 6 years to steal all you can, then you are out. No running for reelection.
Consider the case of Rick Perry, who was governor long enough to fill nearly every state appointment and became, arguably, the most powerful governor in Texas history.
Because he was good? Perhaps.
it's also plausible that RP kept getting reelected because he was a Republican in bent in a deep red state with no term limits.
I personally think that RP is a case of a mediocre (at best) guv who stayed on way too long because he wasn't term-limited.
So that sword can cut at least two ways.
Longevity at the top/experience was the point, I did assume that was pretty obvious if ya possess common sense.
We never give our president enought time, and that should be real obvious. Yet when it comes to everything else.....ya need five years experience for that job, three years experience for this job.
Do you take your car to Tom's Auto Repairs, who is just starting out or Joes Garage who worked on your dads car?
Let a President stay in business unless we need a change, yep...just like everything else.

You act like longevity in DC is a good thing.
tbh the prospect of re-election is the main form of accountability for a sitting president. otherwise they'd have "more flexibility"
Pelosi is a great example. She is basically drooling in public and talking gibberish but will be the next Speaker of the House.
if we ever did have a tyrant in charge, term limits would be an initial curb.
in DJT's case, he'd be 78 at the end of his second term. hard to imagine people would vote for a 78 year old Trump, even if it were allowed.
so, a vote for a third Trump term would be out of the question, but maybe he could call a plebiscite...
The US is not a school/franchise, OK? That really had to be explained?
Yet Biden is the current favorite to win the democratic nomination...at 78.
When is inexperience better?
I admit it has sucked with Trump, but hopefully he is an abberation.
Dems will always find a way to lose. Nominating Biden would be a good one.
What about how to be successful don't you understand?
The US is successful. What about that do you not understand?
Nonsense, by now Trump is the typical Republican and the GOP is his party. Bona fides is judged by the degree of resemblance to, and support of, DJT. Expect plenty more where it came from.
Every four years our governors get together and decide if things are cool or not, if they are then just keep on keeping on. If not then there will be talk of making a change.
I would go with age being a factor. Nobody over what....60?
We were super, I mean insanely lucky that Truman turned out to be as competent as he did. Of course he actually understood the gravity of his situation. It's just another reality show grift for Trump.
