For starters, Democrats have a solid majority in the Kentucky State House. They would convene and swiftly move to replace Senator Rand Paul with a liberal Democrat. Tea Party Senators Mike Lee of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas don't play ball with their state party GOP leaders, so they'd be replaced with GOP establishment hacks who are likely pro-amnesty for illegal aliens.

Right when I think I understand what you are trying to say, I lose it again.
You believe your state house, senate, and governor are corrupt and that your rural vote is diluted by your state’s urban voters.
You believe the states south, north, east, and west of you probably have the same situation.
So, you believe, since your state politics are corrupted,
that you should elect your U.S. senator directly.
But what I don’t understand is this:
How do you think that the direct election of your U.S senators changes the equation?
The people who elected your “corrupt” state government are the same people who will elect your U. S. senator.
Your vote is still diluted, the same as before, and you have gained nothing.
And yet, there you are, calling for “more democracy”?
You just don’t make any damned sense.
