The Latest from Mark W. Rutherford

November 21, 2021 - An important role of a well-functioning political party is quality control. It must strive to identify and encourage good candidates.   Like-minded good candidates demonstrate temperamental steadiness, political skill, and broad support. Conversely, political parties need to screen out candidates lacking those qualities.
