Democracy is killing our republic. The 17th was a terrible mistake. To go full popular vote for the President will only hasten our doom.

I would argue that the 16th through 19th were terrible mistakes. Too bad only one was repealed.

The founding Fathers understood it perfectly!
That's why they made 2 houses (Senate and House of Reps)... to make it fair to the smaller states....same as the electoral college....fair to the smaller states..
