I've never been a fan of term limits in theory, but 32 years is more than enough time to go out and get a real job.

I am all for term limits. The founders couldn't conceive of a time when people would want to spend their life in Congress and Washington, D.C.

Term limits would reduce the entrenched politicians that seem to increase their wealth exponentially the longer they are in office. We need to get back to citizen legislators that go to Congress for 1 or 2 terms then return to their life back in their home state.

People say but you would lose all of that experience and knowledge. The original idea was to have people represent their home state, but not become entrenched in the political machine. The huge growth of government parallels the long time politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell.

If we want to reduce the size of government and get back some of our lost liberties we need term limits.

Wrong. This is a heavily Democratic district which Cooper has won with over 60% of the vote most elections. Last time he didn’t even have a Republican opponent.

Of course the lying, cheating Republicans are trying to gerrymander the district out of existence. So far, the courts have looked poorly on this sort of thing.

You only oppose gerrymandering when Republicans do it. I bet you broke out the champagne when Illinois wiped out two Republicans. Cooper retired because his district is history, it will go Republican. Courts if there are liberals on them look the other way when Democratic states do it but try to use the pathetic excuse of the Voting Rights Act to screw Republicans when they do it, which in the end doesn't work on the federal level thanks to circuit courts and then SCOTUS. Don't get your hopes up there on Alabama, the 11th circuit will overturn that horrendous, illogical anti white ruling.

Tennessee has 95 counties. In the 2020 election only 3 voted for Biden. They are Shelby (Memphis), Davidson (Nashville) and Haywood (a rural cotton county). Shelby and Haywood have a black majority.

If he thought he could win, he wouldn’t be retiring

Yeah. These guys make a habit of retiring when they think they can win re-election.

You will be around in November when all of the dust settles, won't you?
