The thing of it is: you approach the candidate, ask them pointed questions. They will either skirt the issue or tell you a bold faced lie. They get into office, and completely turn around.
It's to late. They are in office, and there you sit, twiddling your thumbs for another 4 years.
And the process starts all over again. No wonder the crooks, opps, I mean 'Servants of the People' were so against term limits.
