I said he <em>espouses</em> great conservative principles. Up to this point he hasn't given me any reason to believe that there he actually would apply those principles in legislative decisions. I'm not asking for "a lot of wonky knowledge." It would be enough for him to say "here is the position I take" based on my conservative principles.

I think that the Founding Fathers intended us to have people with careers who serve as politicians, not the other way around. You nailed it when you said that Wayne's got the great conservative principles. I'd much rather have that than a candidate with a lot of wonky knowledge. Knowledge becomes outdated, but principles guide you forever. Am I the only one that’s not excited that we have a candidate running who’s a great guy and not a career politician?
