(5,954 posts)Undecided voters and fence sitters, rightly or wrongly, tend to follow the voice that sounds most certain. (It's a human weakness.) Republican policies may be mostly wrong, but wright or wrong the Republican candidates always give a full-throated defense of them, and a full-throated criticism of Democratic policies. If Democratic candidates do the same thing, and EQUIVOCATE when asked if they support their own Party's policies (like Grimes did), the undecided voter will say "Well, if YOU don't support or believe in your own Party's policies, how do you expect ME to?"
It's a human weakness, but there it is. If non-committed voters see Democratic Party candidates running away from their own leader, and their own philosophy, the uncommitted voter will assume that what the critics say about them must be TRUE.
