The 17th ruined the Senate. State legislatures or governors picked the senators to represent THE STATE, not the people (that's the function of the House), nor the nation (President). By going to a direct popular vote for senators, the Senate is now a carbon copy of the House only with longer terms in office.

liberals will defend the 17th because popular vote will always win out for people promised money, even though their elected reps become millionaires on the backs of their constituency..............they will deny that of course, but we all know they are lying through their collective teeth
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

Hello Jarod,
Facts and real information are so dull, so not supportive of their narrative.
Making up their own 'news' and 'history' plays into their fantasy so much better!
They wouldn't know what tyranny was if it crushed their lives.
They think the main stream media presenting the actual news is 'tyranny.'

Ask Joe Manchin if Senators no longer represent their states. They still do of course, as Manchin has been demonstrating. The difference between now and then is the sectional differences in the country which were once acute no longer are so there are fewer occasions like the one involving West Virginia and none that compare with the divisions between slave and free states or Western and Eastern states during the expansion periods.

Not the point. Right now, the Senate sans the 17th Amendment would be about 54 to 56 Republicans to Democrats based on who controls state governorships and legislatures. It could reverse based on elections over time. You're focused only on the immediate present. That wasn't how the Senate was supposed to be. The House, yes, but not the Senate. It is how things are because the Senate has turned into a second House.
