When deciding among candidates no one is telling the truth. Just decide which group is being lied to the most.
Getting elected is all about getting votes. Everybody's vote. Anybody's vote. No one is going to get elected to a major office by assuming the mantle of any one constituency. The higher the office the appeal must be to more groups. Some, some small spliter groups are so extreme they can be safely ignored. That's about all, a couple hundred thousand people at most.
