You underestimate the borg/herd mentality of the DEM party.

I'd love to see the 17th repealed, it's a step in the right direction (reduced FEDGOV influence).

You underestimate the borg/herd mentality of the DEM party.

Maybe I do, but if the majority of governorships and statehouses are GOP-controlled, then Senators who don't align themselves with the state will be summarily replaced unless the people of the state change the alignment of the statehouse and/or governorship over time.

Otherwise, voting against the grain of the state and for the ideology of the minority party will get a Senator replaced.
