You would only ensure many of our states would never send a Republican to the Senate for the foreseeable future


I don't fancy myself as being smarter than the framers of the Constitution. I think they had it right prior to the 17th amendment.

Being from Indiana, I'm not to fond of the Republican we send to the senate now.

Fortunately, we have the Amendment process to correct aspects of the Constitution that didn’t work well for the long run. Legislatively-elected Senators wasn’t working out. Although IN would benefit from it in theory (in that it would’ve been impossible for Bayh to have won a legislative vote without attracting GOP support), the likelihood is that you still would’ve had Lugar as the Senior Senator and probably another liberal RINO like the former Mayor of Fort Wayne, Paul Helmke, as the Junior Senator. Not exactly that much better. The Senate would be full of ultra-left Democrats and squish go along to get along RINOs with next to zero Conservatives.
