Unfortunately today, the phrases "good democrat" or "good republican" means following the leadership of the party in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.  Gone are the days when Representatives and Senators will make up their own minds based on the desires and beliefs of the people that elected them to office.  In the case of Democrats this means putting the ideology of California and New York ahead of the beliefs of their home state.  For Republicans it's Wisconsin and Kentucky. While I would rather my Representatives and Senators make decisions based on the beliefs of those of us in Indiana, I don't believe the ideology of Wisconsin and Kentucky are as different from ours as that of California and New York.

During the confirmation hearing of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Phil Bredesen who is running for Senate in Tennessee made the comment that he would vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.  With the vast majority of the people of Tennessee supporting the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh, politically this was an easy comment to make since Bredesen didn't have to actually make a vote on the confirmation.  There was no way to tell if he was lying or telling the truth, but you would think those working closely with Bredesen in the campaign would know the truth.

In the video below from [Project Veritas](https://www.projectveritas.com/) the opinions of Bredesen's staff are revealed.  This [video is from YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9bjb46FtG0).

<br>It's clear that at least a portion of the staff understands the Bredesen is lying to the voters of Tennessee just to win votes.  To me it doesn't appear that most of the staff are very enthusiastic about the tactic accepting it as a part of politics rather than walking away from the campaign.  If this is what is being taught the current generation of campaign staffers, if these staffers continue in politics what will they be teaching the next generation of staffers.
<br>One of the staff, Will Stewart seemed not to have any problems with lying to voters.  He even went to the point of confirming the belief by the campaign that the voters of Tennessee were "ignorant" when asked the question by the journalist.  If the voters of Tennessee do elect Bredesen to the Senate, maybe they are ignorant and deserve that New York ideology of Chuck Schumer being force on them.
