He is Exhibit A as to why we need congressional term limits. Dude has been in the Senate alone for 30+ years... and will have served 36 years at the end of his current term.

I have argued against these forever but assholes like McCain, Pelosi, Crying Chuck, McConnell are trying to make me change my mind.

Of course we could lose some very good legislators in that process.

I'd like to see some sort of super-majority threshold for incumbents. If you have been there six years and doing a great job you should have to get 55% of the vote to retain your seat, not just a bare majority. For succeeding elections it needs to be 60%.

Maybe apply that to the primary process, but we need to weed out all but the most universally recognized 'cant do without' candidates.
