All that matters in politics is character.
Independents want honest, accountable adults.
Democrats want easily offended intellectuals.
Republicans want lying, hypocritical, control-freak morons.
Of course character matters.

I'd build an impenetrable wall around California and dump every illegal immigrant in their with you. .Besides favoring capitalism, would you also support the reintroduction of the Mason-Dixon line?
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
