I don’t like Mastriano, but I don’t really understand why I should care what were college professors think about him

The general idea is that when you see denouncements from people/groups that you’d expect to be friendly to a particular candidate, it generally says a lot about that candidate.

This isn’t just a couple of random professors from you’re average university, this is a war college. While I also suspect it trends more conservative than your average college, he’s also ex-military, so I think the average professor would probably prefer to sit this one out.

OK, that makes sense. So I already don’t like Mastriano and I don’t care about the war college opinion. However, I can see that people who care about the war college and their opinion would be people who would probably support Mastriano, so that opinion would (might) make a difference to them.

Thanks, I appreciate getting the clarification.

Their comments on Oathbreaking are particularly poignant.

It shows a pattern of his behavior and mental process. Making up facts and outright lies are concerning enough. When it's from someone who wants to run the state, it becomes far more than concerning.
