What would a Convention of the States accomplish? The Constitution isn't the problem. In fact, it was discarded in principle so long ago that the government little resembles the one it describes. And we don't need a Convention of the States to replace our elected officials. We have regular elections to accomplish that. No, the real problem is us, We the People. We're the ones who allowed this to happen. We're the ones who elect and reelect those we love to complain about. No, we don't need a convention of any kind, just a mirror...

LT Brad McInnis
CPT Jack Durish Agree with all you said. My only addition would be the apathy of a large part of the population with regards to educating themselves about positions/issues, and just going with what their friends say...

The GOP has been off the mark for 50+ years. So have the Dems. And we buy into it everyday.

SSgt (Join to see) - SP5 Mark Kuzinski - In 2010 the Tea Party scared the bejesus out of both the Democrats and Republicans. So much so that both parties spent huge amounts of money to ensure the Tea Party incumbents would lose in 2012, 2014, and 2016. Then Trump came along and beat both parties. 2018 will be very interesting.

It isn't going to happen. Our current crop of politicians don't have the prescient abilities or intelligence of the founders.
