We essentially have two houses, both elected by the people. However, thinking that the state reps electing the Senate would work out better, HAHAHAHAH with all the RINOS?
While I would like to eventually see the 17th repealed, right now, you’d have party big shots picking subversives like Karl Rove and wealthy moderates like David Dewhurst (TX). Not to mention that since all legislative houses are now 1 man, 1 vote, you’d effectively have representatives from corrupt big cities picking a number of the Senators as well. The Senate would inevitably pursue a globalist agenda and be even more in thrall to strong, liberal Presidents like 0bama. The states would continue to ride in the back of the bus.
Repealing the 17th would have to be accompanied by a lot of other things for it to turn out well.
