That’s my point. If we cannot fix what ails our voting system with this generation of citizen, then how can we trust the same citizenry to conduct a fair convention?

Fair enough.

In this analysis, however, trust and confidence would not seem to play a role. It appears we are faced with nothing but obviously bad, or at least unfamiliar choices and the clock is running. IMO, it is clearly better to make an effort to select a choice that has some chance of success than to sit on our hands and watch the clock.

Normally I would agree. Right now, there’s no sure fire litmus test we can administer to the delegate candidates we send to the convention.

In my earlier post I talked about supporting the convention and actually gave travel money to 2 people I trust who were going to the Midwest to attend an early convention organizational meeting. One of the promoters/organizers was a young buck who was causing tongues to wag concerning his Liberty views. That person was Justin Amash.

Let’s fast forward to today…where’s Justin? He turned out to be a huge liability to just about everyone who admired and supported him. I believe he was the Canary in the Convention Mine that proved to me anyway, that opening the convention now would be the most dangerous thing we could possibly do in the present. God help us.
