If the Republican brand represented honesty in government, the party would not have backed him. Voters seem to vote time and time again for flip-floppers, I cannot come to an understanding of that, either.

Thus, Republicans like Lamar Alexander adds to my commitment never to vote for any Republican or anyone ever associated with the party. Likewise for Democrats! If ever branded one or the other, just walk past my door, it will do nothing but waste time asking for a vote here.

Don't politicians and political parties recognize that they WILL BE identified by those they associate themselves with?
