Why are liberals so concerned about Hillary changing her mind though.

When she has done that, she usually has taken the more liberal stance.

I don't like people using the lesser of two evils, like Hillary and a GOP would only be marginally better than Republican presidential.

Hillary is marginally worst than Bernie, she is infinity better than anyone on the GOP's side

 

[RustyShackleford]

And I don't think anyone can top the hate Obama had.

If any Republican was seen cooperating with Obama, the consvertive base labeled them a traitor. The opposite will be true with Trump, if they don't work with Trump then the base will turn on them.

I understand why people don't like Clinton but if she changes her opinions to what more liberal democrats or just more liberal voters want so she can win can you not use that to your advantage??? One of the best things Sanders has done in his campaign is force Clinton to talk about issues that concern Sanders supporters and more liberal democrats because she realized she needs more liberal democrats to win as well as conservative democrats. Liberal democrats should see this as an opportunity to not hate on her but hold her feet to the fire to make sure she sticks to those more liberal democratic concerns when/if she gets in the white house.

I think there is something to be said for someone who changes their stance on an issue based on new evidence or on changes in the general public's opinion. Politics do evolve and there are a lot of gray areas.

What scares me more is when people are unwilling to change or even entertain views that differ from their own.

I agree with your statement but she be plays dumb about stuff, that video I posted yesterday shows that multiple times. Not evidence or evolution in values, just flat out 360's to appear more politically correct.

Its like a lose lose situation tho when it comes to the GOP or Hilary winning the next election tho. Hard to pick the lesser of the two evils.

"Here's what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud,"

"His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat."

"His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgement to be president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill,"

Now who said this?

and also a to Trump for destroying the Republican party. What a great day to see this vile piece of crap party in utter chaos.

 

[mister friendly]

I think Clinton has a core at just left of center but she will govern as a moderate because she wants to get re-elected and keep her constituents happy.

Trump doesn't have a real ideological core which scares Republicans. His core is for whatever works for himself.

 

[rillo561]

Yeah I don't see how Obama and Clinton are much different philosophically.

QFT

Mittens and Donald shading the hell outta each other right now

Man, they should rename the term "hate" after that man

But I have 0 issues w/ a person who changes their mind after they are further educated about the issue, but not a fan of people changing their minds because it's not a popular opinion and they want to appeal to the masses. It's like the one corny dude who thinks chick A is sexy, but everyone after him thinks chick B looks bad. Now instead of stickin to his guns, he follows up w/ "Yeah, chick B is bad though"

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Never thought I'd listen to a Mitt Romney speech and agree with most of what he says. Dude came for Donald's neck without even raising his voice.

Mitt Romney gave that speech today.

 

[rolaholic]

He called Drumpf voters straight up suckers . I was expecting either him to throw his name into the hat or endorse someone but he ended up doing even better with his factual roast .

Gotta be the first time I've seen someone call a press conference strictly just to **** on someone

 

[blco02]

F Romney. The GOP establishment is so out of touch. This will make Trumps support stronger. Can't wait for Trump's rebuttle at 1:30.

Pretty sure Romney's done it in his past gigs at Bain and BCG.

 

[RustyShackleford]

-R-Money smack the fire outta Drumpf mouth with one of his binders fillrf of women.

I gain a lil more respect for Mitt for that.

-Watch Don slip up and say something about Mormons

Guess I should specify in the middle of a political campaign,that was amazing

Yea he also **** on a good number of Bain employees in the past...

 

[AEA18]

Drumpf is just going to call Mitt a loser and talk about him failing to beat Obama.

Will probably blame him for allowing Obama to continue "ruining" the country.

Exactly

The GOP has been doing this "we don't like this person, let's talk about them and we'll get support." thing for a while, but nobody told them that this doesn't work when the person they are using this tactic against, is running on their ticket

And Trump's support is unreal right now, it really is something to marvel at and really analyze it. He represents anti-government even though he's running for president. He's not the typical politician and that's what is drawing people in.
