Well in a government where the DNC rigs elections and controls everything, I can see why he would run off.

Good for him. Congress is a fucking shit show full of money fleecing scum ON BOTH SIDES.

 

[Votto]

Knowing the trajectory of the Congress and nation, he probably is running away for dear life.

Josh Mandel would have likely beaten Sherrod Brown in 2018 but he ended his campaign. Something maybe with an illness with his wife. They are divorced now.

Term limits would certainly ease the gridlock that these 'lifer' politicians are embroiled in.
Sadly, that will never happen because of power they wield

They tried it before remember, and they claimed that it was unconstitutional for the legislature members since it wasn't in the Constitution.

It could be done, just not easily, and the wolves would never vote for it.

The could do it like they did the president yet that was to limit the president from gaining too much power, I doubt they will vote to reduce their power building. Some state have passed term limits but only on state officials and legislative members. The GOP have been running Missouri into the ground since they took complete power.

You're giving reasons why we should have term limits, the benefit is to America getting rid of the gridlock

McConnell loyalist Rob Portman is retiring because of "partisan gridlock" in the Senate. That he supported. For years.⁠

Three open Senate seats in 2022 mean trouble for Biden today

Republicans' being on the defense doesn't end well for bipartisanship.

Yup. Its a dirty game and if someone wants out who can blame them. I sure don't.

Portman's exit underscores Republican identity crisis

The surprise retirement of Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), a high-profile moderate who is close to the Bush family and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), is the latest sign of turmoil in the Republican Party as it wrestles with its identity in the post-Trump era.
