This article hits on a principle I really adhere to.
Those who try to straddle straddle straddle fail.
I prefer a candidate who has principled and consistent positions. If I don’t agree with a couple of them I can still support him.
But if he wanders all over the field he has lost me.
The above does NOT mean you can’t be collegial, compromise where obviously warranted, or work with people on common goals.
