The best thing happening for R's right now is that narcissistic Ds can't keep their mouths shut.  Every future economic signal is down, so Biden and Harris both do their first interviews?  I don't care what you think about the current R messaging, they are largely on the same page.  Is that dangerous?  Possibly.  Having an entire party willing to fall in line ain't great.  But if the goal is to win elections, I can't imagine trying to be a D strategist right now
This is accurate. Sadly- it seems like the objective is to win elections as opposed to making improvements.

The justification is invariably-- well you gotta win the election before you can make improvements.  But then after the election is won, the improvements don't ever seem to follow.

Just saw that.  Accountability is a good thing.  Hopefully this tightens it up.  Curious as to how it gets covered

That's because after the election is won, you gotta focus on winning the next election, before you can make improvements.

It's the problem with having no term limits, but short terms.  These people's full time job is getting reelected.

Honestly, you make terms longer, but put it strict term limits, I think you see meaningful change.  It should be the same as President, 4 year terms, with 2 term limits

I could get behind that, but I'd favor 3-4 terms.  12-16 years seems appropriate.  
I've always felt the 2 year terms were more harmful.
