When a storm destroys your roof and you need a new roof,what do you  care about,the personality of the roofer,or your roof not leaking the next time it rains?

I would want to make sure that the contractor I hired is somebody that is honest and people trust with good references

And, I have had people repair my roof and I don’t stiff them like guess who? has a history of doing

BOTH. Or rather, the integrity of the roofer and a good job done.

BOTH are equally important.

Have you ever known someone who was dishonest that did an honest job?

No

I would never take my car to a mechanic that had a history of dishonesty

In a word, no. Honor among thieves only goes so far... and it turns out, unsurprisingly, that ain't far at all.

There is a reason why Conservatives count integrity... Character... very highly. I want above ALL, an honest man.

That's right. Out here in the west a handshake is worth way more than a contract.

A man, any man, is only as good as his word. And any man that tries to keep his word knows how very hard it is to do. And in that it is the ultimate measure of the man... To the point that out here, where your word is still often a matter of life and death, it is the only measurement that counts.

Well, just talking about the hypothetical roofer now, if the person I am interviewing to hire comes across with the personality that tells me to be wary I will look for someone whose personality rings trustworthy with me. That's just me, and your hypothetical roofer. Also if I hired that hypothetical roofer once and found he had overly embellished his work I would be hesitant to rehire him....that hypothetical roofer we are talking about.

Since the thread has already been hijacked...

Was thinking hard...trying to empathize or somewhat imagine the experience of the personalities of the typical Pioneer Settler who owned nothing but the wagon, its contents and the animal(s) pulling it.

They never experienced an Industrial Revolution, the railroads were merely a gleam in some dreamer's eye.

They never experience indoor plumbing, their lives were similar to "Alaska Survivor" sans the typical winters.

Without a doubt they would survive an EMP attack.  Average American today...not so much.

Tangent finished here...sorry!

In the end, that's right. Character first.
If he can't be trusted, he can't be trusted.

It is still a whole lot that way @DCPatriot . That's why the west still remains distinctly libertarian - That rugged individualism is very much alive and well... Our dependencies are toward conveniences... like anywhere, but here, they are still merely conveniences. The further out from town you go, the less reliable they are... So they are not relied upon, and the old ways are still the ways that always work.

I have often been where the only conveniences were kerosene and propane. and when the propane runs out, you just go back to cooking on the wood stove, and clean out the refrigerator and stuff it all back in the root cellar.

Maybe that's why western conservatives think so differently than others. The real world ain't all that far off...

That’s all true, but I do like my automobile, my outboard motor, my indoor heating and air conditioning, and flush toilets even if it puts me at a risk for EMP attack

Me too... but I don't NEED them.

I researched that and found that even if he is convicted, it does not preclude him from gaining the nomination or even become POTUS.

What the slimey dims are banking on, is that a conviction will sway enough swing voters not to vote for him.

The sentencing could also put a gag order on him,  preventing him from using social media during his jail time.

Trump is a compassionate man.  The current White House occupant is completely devoid of compassion.
