16. I prefer to have a candidate that wins. Level playing field and all that.

I prefer to have a candidate that wins. Level playing field and all that.

I also prefer a politician who's willing to find common ground and seek compromise as long as it means that SOME progress is being made. Progress. Even incremental is still progress.

There are many politicians (and their supporters) who take a bizarre sense of pride in a "no compromise" philosophy (as if it's a bad thing) and who believe that NO LOAF is better than finding common ground and coming home with half-a-loaf.

Not taking money from these sources is a matter of principle, not vanity.

Yes, it's vanity for someone to intentionally choose to lose (or to come home with nothing). As if "look how pure I am" is any sort of consolation for "we lost" or "I refused to make a deal so therefore we get nothing".

All I'm saying is that candidates who choose to cripple themselves (and those who support crippled campaigns) pretty much get what they deserve. If that's what they want to do, let them. The candidate and campaign that I support will be one who knows how to win and who doesn't give an unnecessary advantage to the competition for vanity or "purity" reasons. Winning is everything.
