On many things I disagree with Cruz but on this one, he hits it right on the head of the nail.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz introduced a constitutional amendment Friday that would restrict senators to two six-year terms. It goes into effect after it's passed, so Cruz would still be able to run for two additional Senate terms.
The amendment would also limit members of the House of Representatives to three two-year terms. It's cosponsored by Republican Sens. Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, and David Purdue.

I'd be for it as long as it affected everyone that is in the Senate, including Cruz.

We already have term limits – they’re called elections.
The people have the right to elect whomever they want for as long as they want.
And if the people don’t like who is being elected and for how long, they have only themselves to blame, the consequence of their ignorance, apathy, and indifference.
Meaningful political change will only happen when the people get involved at the very local level, not the result of inane top-down ‘solutions’ such as term limits.
It would be a start. 2 four year terms like the President. No more. Voting is the best way. Good or bad.Republican Sen.

This has been in committee for so long (at least 6 years) most in those committees would already have term limited if they actually got it passed. No matter how much they tell us how much they support and the more time passes, the less I believe a damned word they say about it. The only way to impose it is to start showing them the door at the voting booth for those that don't seem to think it's that important by their actions.

Good luck, Senator.
This shallow "elections are term limits" argument is a farce, as it completely ignores the inherent advantages an incumbent has over any challenger, most obviously being the opportunities and motivations they have to build, nurture and expand their power/influence base.
Until we change the rules under which these people operate, they will continue to abuse them. Obviously.

Just as I figured, you need term limits in order to shift the balance of power into your Democrat favor. Then you figure that if it can be done in this way, then it can be worked out to keep that power in one way or another. Otherwise you figure that the balance and/or favor that is found in the liberal voters, has already changed into the democrats favor, but you aren't comfortable with that as of yet, so let's dismantle the current electorial college system in order to somehow find total liberal monopolized voting power, and this would be by a select few into your favor eh ??We already have term limits – they’re called elections.

Doesn't work that way. Even when you have a Moscow Mitch, it takes a major scandal like sleeping with the Russians to blast them out of office. We have one around here that introduces bills that are written lock stock and barrel by energy companies. He never reads them but introduces them and backs them tooth and nail even when they are contrary to our best interests. We can't get rid of his butt because just about the time we get ready, he ends up with tons of cash both from the RNC and the Pacs and he lies about his opponents at such a high rate that that is all you end up seeing. And the local News goes apeshit with his coverage and it's all positive and freezes out his opponent.
We need term limits to get rid of this behavior.

Soros would like this never to pass, the ones he has in office he wants them in office and to stay there. Besides he has shifted his money into local elections mostly the governors race and the DA s office and judges.It would be a start. 2 four year terms like the President. No more.

Voting doesn't cut it. Unless you vote at the State Level and force your State Government to pass a Continental Congress law to that effect. It can't be put on any ballot. That was already tried and was tossed out by SCOTUS years ago. So you have to vote state legislators not Federal. Federal can propose it but in the end, it must be done by the States which causes a change to the Constitution of the United States. And there is Millions spent each year at state levels to prevent this. State Officials are a lot cheaper to buy than Federal ones.
