“You won’t seee people like Chuck Schumer as the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chairperson, because there won’t be such a thing.”
The money would go to state legislative campaigns.
Common sense tells me an appointed Senate would be more corrupt and less accountable.
Exactly.
And that state campaign money will be spent locally in the states, not nationally to NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and the NYT.
State campaigns will employ state people, the money will be gotten from people with state interests, and the attention will draw in real grass-roots people.
National blocs couldn't afford to fund all the state legislative offices, and wouldn't be willing to take the risks that individual state elections will line up into a cohesive national interest group.
