It's true, though, even if you get your guy in there that is genuinely fighting for your cause, you better hope he's a good BS'er. Else he doesn't have much to fight for your cause with.

Well, to gain the support of the swing voters I agree, but I wouldn't call it good. What I would call good is shutting down an opponent without resorting to BS. It shows their intelligence more and in a way makes them seem more genuine since they're using logic instead of trying to make their opponent look worse than them.

It's utopian, I know.

I was thinking more about when they get into office and are wheeling and dealing with whips and chairs and covenants that they have to compromise with to get anything done.

There's that strawman again, no wonder you're a Trump man.
