- rosstex 8y agoBetter than the candidate who says "I don't have all the answers, but as President I will weigh the opinions of both sides carefully and make an informed decision with the best interests of the American people in mind."
- PKop 8y agoThe problem is that candidate is undistinguishable from a chameleon who will be pushed around either by popular sentiment, special interests, eventually adopt policies you disagree with etc. Taking some kind of concrete stand at least lays a base of where they're coming from and provides metrics of success or failure once in office. The blank slate is more high risk high reward I guess.
- dqv 8y agoYeah. It's a red flag when someone campaigns without a clear indication of what they actually stand for.
