Moderate Bait and Switch

When a candidate for political office, runs a political campaign portraying themselves to the public as being political moderate then where the candidate actually stands on various political issues in an effort to broaden their appeal to a larger group of voters.

Upon winning the political office the candidate ran for, the new elected Politician then reveals themselves to the public to be a partisan hardliner who instead of working with both parties, toes the political party line that they are affiliated with. Often pushing for policies that the party they affiliated with wants regardless of what they pledged on the campaign trail.
Despite portraying himself as not being a partisan hardliner during the General Election campaign, Senator Smith pulled a Moderate Bait and Switch on the voters of the state that elected him and proceeded to vote in favor of policies he said he would not support on the campaign trail

A beautiful girl that goes to my school with a NICE rack, beautiful green eyes, track star legs and a nice ass. Overall perfect body she is also the funniest, realest most intelligent girl you will ever meet. Has a boyfriend so no one ever tries anything but any guy would kill for a chance with her. Some girls hate her probably because they are jealous and annoying but overall everybody loves her. Definitely wifey material
