I have one question that nags me and I just can’t get past. What guarantee is there that the leftists won’t hijack the convention and make thing far worse than they are now?

Because it take 2/3 rds of the states to ratify anything that comes out of it.

If all you needed was 2/3 of the states simply asking, the required number was reached long ago. So the precedent is 2/3 only for a similar reason. In the case of the call for Convention Of States.com part of the paperwork is a clause that the call is void if it goes out of the stated bounds.

I might add that Congress can do the same thing a COS can but nobody is worried because it's been done many times already.
