Reply to comment by Proof-Variation7005 in Republican Allan Fung concedes to Seth Magaziner in Rhode Island's 2nd District by therealDrA

I'd believe it if they were explicit about it.

Hell I would love someone who thought for themselves and didn't vote on party favor.

For a job like this, it's insane that journalists and debate moderators aren't asking the simple question of "Are there any specific issues where you feel you would NOT support your party's national platform?"

It works to find if there's Republicans who would go on record and say "No, I would not support any federal abortion ban" as well as Democrats on something like guns or whatever. It has potential for followups and really pins a candidate down. And yet everyone who had Magaziner and Fung on the record this past year completely whiffed on asking it.
