Or, just get people to vote the way the GOPs do. Look up Jerry Falwell and his Moral Majority. Jerry was a televangelist who grabbed the GOP by the grassroots. He used his extensive mailing list to find the small local GOP clubs that decide who is going to be the next sheriff or country clerk. If there'd been twenty people at the last meeting, Jerry's folks would show up with fifty.

Why abolish the senate?

Or we abolish the senate and expand the house to the several thousand representatives it should actually be. Term limits on legislators in a small legislature just makes the party even more powerful because nobody will have name recognition except the party. It also highly encourages working with lobbyists who promise to get you a cushy landing spot after your term. For what most people have an issue with, an age cap with a good retirement would work.
