OPINION:
Watching the stone-faced Democrats sitting on their hands during President Trump’s State of the Union address prompted me to conclude that their wish is for bad things to happen to the country while Mr. Trump and the Republicans are in control.
Among these Democrats was Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the career politician. I was reminded how much my dear wife of nearly 70 years liked our house, and would say, “They’re going to carry me out of here,” which is what happened two years ago. It is obvious that Mr. Hoyer has the same attitude about the House of Representatives. He is a prime example of why we need term limits in Congress, including the Senate. As I understand it, in the “old days,” Congress only met for a few months to take care of necessary business and then returned to their interests. What was so bad about that?
