'As the choices made by Republican county conventions held so far have again skewed sharply to the right, it is fair to question whether those making those selections are really wiser, or just more sure of themselves.'

A couple of delegates grab a shot with US Sen. Mike Lee, at the Davis County Republican nominating convention at Farmington High School, on Saturday, March 26, 2022.“‘Tain’t what a man don’t know that hurts him; it’s what he knows that just ain’t so.”There is a consistent and perhaps sincerely felt argument in favor of the Utah Republican Party choosing our elected leaders for us — which, in a one-party state, is generally what they do — partly through the caucus and convention system.

, it is fair to question whether those making those selections are really wiser, or just more sure of themselves. , that they know more about pandemics than people who have devoted their lives to studying infectious diseases, that critical race theory is being inculcated in the minds of innocent kindergarteners, that any fool packing heat makes for a safer community, that a nation of immigrants is weakened by more immigrants, that climate change is a hoax cooked up by Elon Musk to sell more Teslas, that the federal government is secretly run by child-molesting lizard people, that Vladimir Putin is a genius...

That doesn’t mean normal folks don’t have principles, beliefs, standards. It just means that, when they look for someone to vote for, they generally are less attracted to someone who scares them and more interested in someone who seems reasonable, at least a little bit open-minded and worthy of being handed, temporarily, the power to reach compromise and sand off the rough edges of governing.
