Look, my point is easy...the US Senate represents noone except the two political parties. At one time the Senate actually represented the interests of the States, but the 17th Amendment took care of that.

I think we need Senators in the Senate doing the Senate’s business, instead of out raising money to make runs at the Presidency. If I had my way, I’d put up a Constitutional Amendment banning Senators from running for the Presidency until such time as they are dealt back into the game of representing the States and the People, instead of just the Democrats and Republicans.

I have nothing against DeMint personally. I’m sure he’s one hell of a great guy, but there is much work to be done in the Senate, and I would rather see Senior Senators working to fix those problems.
