Yea, policy is what matters, not emotions. I don’t have to like him. I don’t care about his morals. I don’t care about his tweeting. It’s a pretty easy litmus test that I apply evenly across the board.
Is the policy being positioned by X candidate aligned with my personal beliefs on what is best for the country? Yes = get my vote, No = don’t get my vote.
You guys are trying to turn the most important event of our country into a goddamn episode of some John Hughes movie about popularity and likability. Who gives a ****? I’ll never meet the frigging guy, we don’t need to have dinner, I don’t need to relate to him on a personal level, and I couldn’t care less if he eats his steaks well done with ketchup. The latter is offensive to my pallet, but whatevs, it irrelevant to the national health and prosperity of our country.
You embody every characterization about the difference of Republicans and Democrats. Republicans will make the hard choices that are logical and benefit the country. Democrats want to feel good about themselves. My mind is wired for logic over emotion, in fact, I make it a daily practice to ensure I completely close off emotional reaction to problems. It’s why i can lead with conviction, decisiveness, and temperance.
