I may get into trouble by saying this, but the worst type of people to deal with either in business or legal matters is a "principled person", they just don't know when to compromise or settle or quit. He is right and you are wrong. To a certain degree, politic is much like business and legal battles, everybody has to give up something to get something. It is often said, when everybody loses something, everybody wins. The best deal is when everybody wins. This is true even when you got them by the balls, you leave a door open so they can leave with some dignity, you don't say "never" and you don't burn bridges. How will an uncompromising, stuburned "principled" Governor deal with state senate and house both controlled by the opposition, and all other elected state officers are from the other side? I have never seen McClintock smiles, I don't think he has any happy muscle in his body. He looks angry 24/7.
Personally, I don't need another "principled" Governor, I want someone fresh to turn the ship around.
