The 17th amendment might have been a good idea 100 years ago but now it needs to go. Senators used to be chosen by their state legislatures so they did not really worry about re-election. It did not matter how you voted because it was in the hands of the legislature. Now we have 100 million dollar campaigns were Senators worry more about appeasing their donors, some from out of state, rather than their constituents.
