Episode notes
Why A Convention Of States Could Backfire
- Article V conventions are risky because delegates from all states, including blue states, could push liberal constitutional changes.
- Blake and Andrew warn a convention today might enshrine abortion, LGBT rights, and weaker speech protections given current national politics.
Put Energy Into Republican Party Reform
- Prioritize reforming the Republican Party to better reflect its voter base instead of pursuing a constitutional convention.
- Andrew urges investing political energy into electing more conservative senators and House members like J.D. Vance, Josh Hawley, and Ted Cruz.
Pick A VP Who Can Be President
- Choose a vice presidential pick who could credibly succeed the president and run in 2028.
- Blake and Andrew name J.D. Vance and Ron DeSantis as top options, noting DeSantis would be better as VP to build governing credentials.
