What today’s U.S. Senate would look like if its members weren’t directly elected by voters.

The answer is simple: It would be controlled by the Republicans, with a chance that it could be a filibuster-proof majority.

The 17th should remain as is. Your opinion is noted but is not provable.

True but they would be traitor GOP types.

So being in control of the Senate would be like having Boehner as Senate majority leader.

What’s the point? With elections we can at least push the GOP contingent further to the right and to be more conservative.

If it was all establishment they would just sell us out.

Jim DeMint once had a great quote... “i’d rather have 40 conservatives than 60 who weren’t really conservative” (paraphrasing but it wasn’t something like that)
