A constitutional convention is a pretty pie in the sky thing to worry about. Even if they get 2/3s of the state legislators, 3/4 of the state legislator's have to ratify it. Also, state level Republicans in more traditionally blue states don't often share the same ideologies as the Federal Republican party.
