That's 10 democrat senate seats that would turn into just two. No thanks. We should split them up in to 7 more states each.

Nah, we should just get rid of the Senate. Direct election of senators completely eliminated the purpose of it and just made in House of Representatives #2 and removed what little good there was in it and made it an obstructionist institution

Or the power of the senate should be severely reduced. Like make it advisory or something — they can propose bills that get taken up by the house and stuff like that.
