I was going to write this week on the dumpster fire that was the Utah Republican Party convention this past Saturday.
It seems the delegates have thrown water on the fire that’s been blazing for the last four years, and not a second too soon. Yes, there was some grousing on Facebook after the fact by many SCC members and a few delegates about how “the Establishment” won and the grassroots would now be lost forever.
But one of the foremost grassroots leader in the state, who I was sitting next to during the convention, seemed pretty pleased with the results when Derek Brown won as chair.
