| 60. I promise only to vote for |
|
candidates I believe will benefit the future of the nation. There are some candidates who are better than others, and stretch who would test my loyalty, I'll hold my nose and vote for them.
The expression you despise is just another way for a person to explain they've compromised. There are Democratic candidates who stink so badly that I will not hold my nose, because I'd take their stench home with me if I did.
It is a metaphor, sorry it upsets you so.
