(15,805 posts)I may like the policies, but I'm not personally invested in any politician so there is no emotional tie. That's a classic Republican tactic -- fear, suspicion, hate -- and its no substitute for dispassionate critical thinking in evaluation the strengths and weaknesses of any politician.
If matters little to me that a politician might have a past record where they took a stance years ago that I disagreed with. My own POV has certainly evolved over time, so I expect that politicians are capable of evolving as well, and willing to acknowledge the lessons learned and adapt to meet today's changing times.
I'm not a single issue voter. I look at the whole package, adding more importance to the policies that most concern me, but never losing sight of the ultimate goal of electing a Democrat to the Presidency. It's still too early to make ANY decision, and until Clinton (or any other Dem) actually posts their official policy statements for the current election, my own counsel will I keep.
