Trump calls for congressional term limits, lobbyist crackdown


Recommended Posts

Now here is some policy that he should have been talking about since day one, but instead he has discredited POW's, Mexicans, a Gold Star family, brings up Rosie O'Donnell in a debate, doesn't prepare for a debate and gets his ass handed to him, says abused women should be listened too unless they something against him and then they are liars, ugly etc., criticizes and condemns our election system, if only he had the temperament.

Trump calls for congressional term limits, lobbyist crackdown

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday called for sweeping Washington reform including term limits for congressional lawmakers, telling supporters “it’s time to drain the swamp.”

“Decades of special interests, decades of failure must come to an end,” said Trump, who vowed, if elected, to try to impose the term limits through a constitutional amendment.

In announcing the proposal at a rally in Colorado, Trump also called for five other “major” changes.

He wants to re-institute a ban to prevent Executive Branch officials from lobbying the government for five years after they leave government service and to ensure the ban cannot be lifted by executive order.

Trump also wants Congress to institute its own five-year lobby ban for members and their staff.

And he wants to close “loopholes” that he says allow former congressional and Executive Branch officials to lobby while calling themselves consultants and advisers.

“We all know they are lobbyists,” Trump told the crowd.

Trump is also calling for a lifetime ban on senior Executive Branch officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government and for Congress to pass campaign-finance reform to keep registered foreign lobbyists from raising money in U.S. elections.

“In 21 days … we are going to end the government corruption and drain the swamp in Washington, D.C.,” Trump repeated.

The dumb shit is too ego driven to have led with this? He would be running her over right now if he stuck to this. To what he knew. He knows lobbying and money. He would have beat her to death with it. Shit Bernie might have voted for him if he stuck to just this shit. But instead we have some bronzed retard who finally finds time to throw in some 2 minute soundbite about policy in over a years worth of useless rhetoric. 

That being said, it is spot on right...

He could have led with that, a strong border without calling broad brushing Mexicans as rapists and murderers, rallies with out talking about punching protesters, debates without the insults, not going after Ted Cruz's family, etc, etc.....

He's trying to burn it all down.  And good for him.  But again, he's not doing him self any great favor within his own party of career politicians who spend half their time figuring out how to keep their jobs. 

And you are right Vince, why is he waiting until now?  This is something A LOT of Americans can get behind.  Him being the Non-partisan, outsider pain in the ass will change things down the road.  I think they already have.

Or, it's "Snookie vs. Kanye" 2020. Which one represents what party?  Doesn't matter.  

I hope we're gonna see a third/fourth party picking up some real momentum the next few years.

Not unless money gets out of politics. And the media gets held accountable for their blatant two party bias.

It's his temperament Z, I think he's ADD or something, how else would explain all the crazy personal attacks and the boorish behavior?
