Phil Scott seems to be well liked because he's not radical. He goes and does things that both sides like/can appreciate. This is how most leaders should be imo, we should all work together. Even though hes Republican hes proved himself as a leader so even though hes "Republican" VTers look past the label to the actual person. I hope voting doesnt change in this regard, we need to follow how the person actually is and not how they identify politically, that's how we end up with terrible leaders.

Many Vermonters are in the middle, they agree with both sides/policies. We may be a blue state but we have a good mix of both sides which I think is how things should be
