Reply #63: K/R for a FANTASTIC question!

This is exactly what I've been wondering - if "A", won't those who were persuaded to vote for the right-leaning Dem (but normally wouldn't vote Dem) just be pissed off, and be eager for payback next election?

Wouldn't that ploy work exactly ONCE, before those voters rightfully felt tricked and vowed never to fall for that again, and make sure their friends and family weren't duped again? (And duped it is, it's dishonest to run on one thing and then do the opposite once in office - see the current traitor-in-chief, or Clinton's NAFTA betrayal.)

So in my estimation, "B" is infintely more likely to happen. As a result, no vote from me for such a candidate.
