Better that than a single-minded man who ignores the facts and charges blindly forward with personal vendettas...
What about those who don't have much money and have no public transit available to them, but are forced to commute because of the job market? Too bad for them?
The second part: That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it - but I personally want someone in office that has feelings, core beliefs, and is willing to stick to his word through thick and thin and press forward his beliefs, than one who can't make his own decision on what food to eat - let alone what to do with my country.
