   I see.. I don't know where I ran across that incorrect info on running   
   for a third term.   
      
   But I don't see Trump's logic that the 2020 election has any bearing   
   on the number of terms he can run for. If he'd won, that would have   
   been his last run and, since he lost, he got to run again this term..   
      
   KW>I could see the game plan saying in 2028 "I've still got more work to

   He could get some advice on how to do that from Putin..   
      
   There are always leaders we wish could stay in power longer and   
   others we can't wait to get rid of in any country with honest   
   elections. As you may have known or picked up, our Prime Ministers   
   can stay in power as long as they keep getting re-elected, for good   
   or for bad, but at least it's our choice. We've never had a problem   
   getting rid of a Prime Minister once the majority wanted him gone.   
      
   Maybe it's just part of living with the system for too many years   
   but these days it always seems to me that the choice is to pick   
   out the candidate you hate the least, the one who will do the   
   least amount of damage..   
      
   I generally hope for a minority gov't because they need the support   
   of another party to get anything done so it's less likely they can   
   do anything too radical.
