To be most successful with a republican audience a candidate should avoid using the phrase, small government. Unfortunately, many republican candidates are in the party because a democrat in the same voting district has first dibs for the democrat nomination for the position in question.
Despite all attempts to camouflage their democrat, liberal, progressive tendencies for these RINO'S the allure of the power is too great to resist.
They will do anything, even pretend to be republicans to taste that power.
To be fair I guess it can happen to a republican. A republican could pretend to be a democrat, but it is less likely.
For example, Charlie Criss of Florida, he professed republicanism and practiced it as best he could, and then lost as a republican to a more conservative republican. It would be interesting to know why he didn't opt at that point to be more conservative than his opponent, but it is history and alas the choices we mortals make we have to live with until at least the next election. Instead, he chose to become independent. I detect a wishy-washy uncertain attitude with this decision. As I mentioned, he could have gone for the image of a leader with strong principles. Perhaps strong principles are not understood by politicians. They do require conviction, a strong will and excellent moral compass. I wonder which of those characteristics Charlie is weak on. Independents can't run on principles. Isn't that why they call themselves independent? I'm sure independents will dispute my opinion. I am sure they would stake their principles on their self confidence that they are probably positive that they can make the principled decisions based on a morally relative compass. By definition with his decision Criss chose not to commit. He wasn't successful with his election attempt as an independent, so he pulled the full chameleon switch and decided he is a democrat. I wonder if the mental gymnastics required to achieve such changes in a person's values are similar to the experience that a person goes through when they are contemplating a sex change? Their thoughts might include intermediate mental musings in the realm of transvestitism as a person morph into the new identity.

In the Manufacturer's Design Specifications (Human Beings) find the paragraph on the "HAYWIRE" switch. My manual is so old the writing is obscured but it seems to say, "no off setting".

Please bear with me as I venture for only a moment in my vision of Donald J Trump's vision (my assumption) of America. I believe I can convey the essence by being direct to the point in an abstractly constructed question. The question, if I am correct, clears away intellectual diversions. What is the potential productive capability and achievable capacity of all American citizens who want to work with their vision untethered? If it is of similar drive and self-motivation as his own, the debt (and deficit) can become things of the past sooner than later. That last statement is my opinion. Enjoy it if you like. Shrug it off if you don't like. Free will in a free society provides the opportunities to do what you want and think what you want. As long as you do not hurt someone doing that freedom stuff.
