Yea, not politically savvy. What’s funny is we as voters want these authentic candidates who don’t just repeat the same talking points and our “real” yet there are so many taboos that really do sink then if they say the wrong position. You can’t really have it both ways with that. Or I suppose they want authenticity where it completely aligns with what we want. There’s more risk than reward with it.
There are several Republicans who are socially conservative personally but promise not to change existing law. Larry Hogan is an example. I think that's the best way to stay true to what you believe in without being an extremist and hurting yourself politically. The guy is a Republican governor of a blue state with high approval rating. He's doing something right.
