Do you support them? And if so, how many terms should be permitted? If not, why not?

I am supportive of term limits, especially the senate is way over-aged. My suggestion would be: five House terms (10 years) and two Senate terms (12 years).

As I've said many times, no. We don't need a situation where a large number of Senators are lame ducks for six years.

Well, the lame duck term may apply to executives like prez or governor, but senators should be more free in their votes if they don't have to face voters again. Maybe some Republicans in congress would change their votes on parts of the Trump agenda? Or be more willing to compromise with Obama.

No.  Implementation of term-limits would only strengthen party leadership and lobbyists.  

I think the opposite is true. Look at the IL House, where basically one corrupt dude (Madigan) is in power forever. With term limits, he would have been out a long time ago.
