Sadly it’s too difficult to explain the horrors of the 17th Amendment for there to ever be a serious push to repeal it.
I wonder what percentage of the public even know what the 17th Amendment did or how things were before it.
On the bright side, I had a 45 minute meeting with my state rep last year. He warmed to the repeal idea, and FL subsequently sent delegates to the last Assembly of States in Indianapolis this past June.
I've been pressing at FR for 17th repeal since its 100 year anniversary in April 2013, and have been amazed at the level of resistance.
