“ more afraid of the Convention than Civil War”
I don’t think there is any fear involved. It is just that everyone can see that in a country where even something so simple as an election cannot be completed without corruption and perversion, the idea that Left and Right are going to come together to solve the problems between them in a Convention is a fanciful fiction, ludicrous on its face.
The left won't but fortunately they are in the minority. Check out Convention of States for yourself. It is very well organized already. It currently has 15 states signed up.
