He didn't get it. Panic rose in his voice. He would have thrown all the papers from his desk, but he wasn't much of a reader. His campaign adviser fidgeted in her seat. He shouted at her, demanded to know what was happening. She tried to explain. The polls were revealing a deeper need for integrity and substance. He didn't get it. He did everything they told him to. She tried to explain. On the surface, voters want a candidate that shares their views. But as time goes on, as voters start to take a look at a person, they need to know that person has integrity. Changing positions is a sign of non-integrity, according to the polls.
He didn't get it. He was a handsome man, good public speaker, great hair. He was willing to reverse every position he ever held, if asked. He could be whatever they wanted. She tried to explain. That was the problem.
He didn't get it. She sighed.
