VT-At Large: Rainville Calls for Term Limits. Who Cares?

Martha Rainville, the GOP nominee for Bernie Sanders’s House seat, has now called for Congressional term limits. The last time this was a major rallying cry for Republicans was 1994 – and a lot of those candidates later broke their pledges. The idea is simply a non-starter because it requires the votes of members of Congress who have themselves served for ages. Furthermore, it's quite interesting to see a Republican running this year on the idea that there's too much entrenched power in Washington.
