One would think the two would be the same.
This is the problem with career politicians. Yes?

nah.
you need to account for companies, the 1% or at least top 5%, the base, your own values and the region and the nation.
only a few issues are even in the awareness of the general public.
the whole point of having senators is so the mob doesnt run the nation.
constituents are most easily influenced by mass communication such as potus can do and by religious leaders based on carefully selected mythology that adherents were trained since childhood to believe in.

You nailed it. Politicians campaign to show their conscience (in theory) and voters make their choice. That is the basis of "Promises made, promises kept".
In reality focus groups are drawn up by campaign leaders to calculate how best to pander for votes. These are the people that NEED to be voted out. They are puppets operated by the elites only interested in power and money.
It also allows for mechanisms of subversion when the agenda is globalism and America Last.

This is the problem with continually electing narcissists. They think that they are always the most intelligent person in the room, therefore they are always correct and can decide what's best for their constituency, regardless of how the voters feel on an issue.
Name a bigger narcissist than Obama, Romney, McCain, and Cassidy. I'll wait.
