” I didn’t mean a politician who professes to listen to daas Torah, i mean an ehrliche yid who actually does”.
As stated here:
“To really be success in politics, you have to sell your soul to a large degree. You have to be very skilled to minimize that problem, yet it’s hard to get anywhere in politics if you don’t go along with the wishes of your party’s leadership.”
Once elected you have to tow the party line or you dont survive in politics.
Anyone elected in the big cities with a large frum population, is generally a Democrat, or a pareve Republican, with a debt to pay and a need to side with and support policies against the Torah, OR hes out 123. Its lose/lose. Either the Torah loses, or the candidate loses.
