Why Do Supporters Get Defensive When Asked About Their Candidate’s Track Record?

Have you noticed how supporters become defensive when asked about their candidate’s past performance? Most presidential aspirants have held public office, so reviewing their achievements makes sense—like a recruiter asking for your CV. I recently debated someone who avoided the question. He compared Nigeria’s prospects to Singapore and Rwanda’s rapid development and then switched to talking about Champions League teams when pressed. If a candidate has a record to be proud of, why shy away from sharing it? So far, most responses have been insults rather than facts. What are your thoughts?
