[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

If we still had states appointing senators, we’d never see a GOP majority again.

If it weren't for Reynolds v. Sims, which forced ALL houses of all state legislatures to bow to the false god of proportional representation, we'd have a better chance of a GOP majority, as state Senates would be able to use other methods of representation, such as county-by-county.

That one still boggles my mind, since the Founding Fathers clearly not only believed that proportional representation in all legislative bodies was not essential to a republic, but in fact explicitly set up a republic with a non-proportional legislative body.
