Many Christians believe that living together before marriage is wrong. Many conservatives are either Christian or appeal to Christian values (as they're both largely patriarchal and controlling; at least as practiced). This guy's conservative.
Then why wouldn't he just do a photo shoot with his fiancee and his dog? Conservatives are idiots or someone is lying.
The article talks about how Republicans are alienating virtually every woman in the country. So, to appear electable, they're having their wives and kids do the ads, so that out-of-touch women will see a woman in the ad and decide that the candidate is a good guy.
But that, and the whole focus on "traditional family values" and everything boxes them into a certain image, that you're not a real American man if you're not married with kids by the time you're in your 30s or something. So, even if he had a picture with his fiance and dog, it would prove he's not a "traditional family values" republican. So, better to pose with a friend's wife and kids than prove that he's not "normal".
Or at least use his dog in the fake photo?? Cmon, he’s got one creature on this planet that loves him (ignorance is bliss), and he leaves it out of the family photo?!
What a monster, lol
His dog, apparently smarter than every Republican voter in Virginia's seventh congressional district, refused to have anything to do with it.
For this one, I think this is the answer.
