There would be a calculated strategy of saying whatever is on your mind at all times, leaving it hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.

A gish gallop of nonsense, and their supporters would love them all the more for it.

The rest of us would look to the 'paragons' and wonder why they're so quiet all the time. They'd be pilloried for things they never said.
