....for an issues page! Why, oh why, would you want to take a stance on something? You might offend/put-off a potential voter...

....on the other hand...you might build on your base if you take a stance. But then again, red state or at least more red people vote, so why piss off irritate either colored voter until after the primaries?

The end game is getting elected; why play hard while you’re warming up?

Seems to me like anything else is the worst sort of appealing to folks' most base instincts.
