To: Repeal The 17th

Post civil war the republicans did maintain control of the presidency.
Post reconstruction is a different story.

After the Civil War the Republicans would have had to been as incompetent as todays pubbies to lose an election.

In the political world of today it is virtually impossible for one political party to maintain power.
Information is more available quicker and to more people.

The electorate is just about as fractured as it was pre civil war only with more factions. Too many people offended about every little thing.

Short of a complete and total meltdown by either major party, I don’t think we will see either keep control for 16 consecutive years.
