So, you want change and I want change and the candidate promises change. But when we get to specifics, your change and my change have nothing in common, possibly different directions on the same issue or completely different issues. And though the candidate promises change, when you get into the details, if you can, you discover that his changes are not in sync with your desires.
In theory, one knows what a candidates general positions are on a variety of issues and his guiding beliefs. From that, you can extrapolate how he will lead and the decisions he will make in multiple situations. No one wants or should expect surprises from an elected official one supported. Anyone who votes for someone simply because they want change gets what they deserve.
