McCain could take a knee and pledge allegiance to Mao and the voters of AZ would still vote for his sorry ass.

I am doubtful that repealing the 17th Amendment would have kept McCain out of the Senate. I am certain that if state legislatures picked Senators in 1980 that the Reagan tax cuts would have never passed.

Oppose the 17th Amendment on principle, if you like, but don’t assume that the end result would be better Senators. More likely, you’d get more go along to get along types.

US Senator John McCain is proof positive that we need to repeal the 17th Amendment

Roy Moore is proof positive that it has its purposes. Without the 17th Amendment is there any doubt that Luther Strange would continue to be the senator from Alabama?

I don’t trust politicians enough to let them choose other politicians for me.

McCornhole is proof positive that we need treason trials and hangings on the national mall.

Pure idiocy. Establishment Deep Staters would benefit from elitist state legislators choosing our Senators. McQueeg and Flake, et al, would be safe.

REALLY stupid idea: repealing the 17th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Are some people thinking with the wrong parts of their body or what?

Enact term limits. Any state could do this internally.

85 and dying. Yet such unfettered malice. Defies logic.
