>>> With 56-57 GOP Senators, they’ll be backed into a corner. Nothing they pass will go through or be signed. I can even see some defecting to our side going on 2020. <<

Darn 17th amendment! How DARE the peasants of those states vote out entrenched backstabbing RAT incumbents! Senators are supposed to represent the STATES, not the wishes of the PEOPLE! Gosh darn it, things would just be sooooo much better if corrupt state legislators could appoint RAT Senators for life and the people had absolutely no say in the matter. < /sarcasm>

If the state legislatures selected Senators the Republican would have almost 60 seats - in a lock. If you are pro 17th amendment then you are and anti FREE REPUBLIC!

Ha Ha! I’ve always argued that maybe we got the 17 Amendment because of the corrupt state legislators whims.

I’m in TN and I still don’t trust ours. Too many RINO’s and refugee Dems left.

I don’t know how we’re doing in state leg races but I will have no further patience for those people.
