I have no problems with this. Let the states compete for their own interests. Just do away with central party control of funding Senators.

That's the biggest impact of the 17th - making Senators have to raise campaign funds. And they get those funds from the central party, with strings attached of toeing the party agenda, not the home state's agenda.

You’re not empowering “states”, you’re empowering politicians, and this the last thing I want to do at this point. There’s a reason this was ultimately a failure.
