11. Finally!
A candidate who understands that policy white papers do not win elections. We already have plenty of good ones gathering dust on the shelves.

Win the election, then bring out the wonks. I knew this guy had unusually strong skills for this profession, but I am pleased to hear that he has gotten this principle and taken it to heart. Elections are won with a broad brush, governing is done with fine print. Governing only happens if elections are won.
