On Thanksgiving, the Wall Street Journal gave us something for which we should be thankful. In an op-ed by Jeb Bush, the former governor lays out the path forward for Republicans.

Mr. Trump proved that he was right—as I well know, since I was often in his target sights! He successfully tapped into the anger and deep distrust that voters feel toward Washington. These voters believe the American dream is increasingly out of reach. They believe our system is skewed in favor of the powerful and the connected. They believe that the politicians elected to right these wrongs have only made them worse. And they overwhelmingly voted for Mr. Trump, giving him a hard-won victory.

So what does Gov. Bush propose to do with all of that anger toward the overreaching federal government?

Americans, by wide majorities, agree that Washington is broken, so let’s send power back to the people and back to the states. Republicans should support convening a constitutional convention to pass term limits, a balanced-budget amendment and restraints on the Commerce Clause, which has given the federal government far more regulatory power than the Founders intended.

That’s right. The ONLY way to restrict a federal government that has gone off the rails is to call an Article V Convention of States.
