5. He May Not Have Been Elected To Represent Their States

But, in his position of heading the senate in the best interests of the country at large, he has leverage such as committee chairs, committee assignments, support on bills they want to sponsor... It used to be a give and take situation, where you do this for us, like stand with your fellow dems and we will do this for you and your state.

I would also question whether these senators are acting in the best interests of their states or in their own best interests, like Lieberman for example
