The horse is out of the barn on that one. Even if the 19th were repealed, no state or U.S. territory is going to ban women from voting.

We'll NEVER get good candidate for opponents, either party, if the US Senator in place is running for re-election. That's because everyone will flock to the other party and "vote for the worst". The only way to stop that is to have State Legislatures choose the US Senator. The problem with that is the party not having a majority in the state legislature won't have a chance.
Perhaps there is no solution to an out-of-control, bought and paid for US Senate, backed when necessary by rogue judges. That just might be the downfall of the nation.

One has to wonder if it would have saved us from The Manchurian Candidate Obama.
Only to learn that McInsane is kooky enough to start World War IV with Russia.
Yikes - what choices

Every amendment adopted after the War of Northern Aggression
should be repealed.

"Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Friday called for the repeal of the 17th Amendment and the return to senators selected by state legislatures after the Senate GOP's effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare died in a late-night vote." There you go...best idea going..!!

Yup.
It’s funny though. A good friend’s mom used to be a leftist and stout feminist. She now makes me look like a lib by comparison. She has stated the 19th Amendment is the worse thing that ever happened to the country on the political front. (We actually talk politics weekly. She is SMART and well informed.)
She does not have a high opinion of most young and dumb female voters, of which she admits she was once one.
And then don’t get me started about milenials. Lol.
While I do not agree, won’t argue with her on the point. After all, without the young and dumb female leftist vote, pretty much no Demscum would have been elected to federal office for the last hundred years or so.

What brought on direct election of Senators was state legislators corrupted (supposedly!) by the Railroads and Robber Barons (Term used at the time!).
There will always be corruption, the only thing you can do is try to keep a lid on it & limit it the best you can.

I don’t know about that...let’s face it, CA will still find a way to choose two nutcases, as will NY, MA, IL, NJ, and the rest of the usual suspects...;)

I knew what Obama was so I voted for McCain. Stood in the lines.
Had no idea how crazy he was (and still is).
Still, Obama may have effectively buried the nation after adding nearly 9 trillion dollars to the debt and his perversion, not to mention the race trouble he caused.

I agree, we should repeal the 17th.
At the very least we need new Republicans.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Gardner, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse, Ernst and Shelby are all Democrats in R jerseys.
