"I spent four years working with Mrs. Clinton when she was secretary of state, most often in the White House Situation Room. In these critically important meetings, I found her to be prepared, detail-oriented, thoughtful, inquisitive and willing to change her mind if presented with a compelling argument."
The bolded part is mine.
I've noticed that myself - something that I've seen those fearing, OR not trusting, her stand on such matters as the TPP don't seem willing to consider.
Hey - people change their minds. Hillary has even stated in the past - "you get new information." She said that to point out that she could, and would, change her positions on something, once she gained new data, new info, new testimonials, new evidence, new whatever - that might enlarge the previous situation and cast a new or different light on it or place it in a new and different context.
These things are fluid as can be. Things change. KNOWLEDGE doesn't stay static. DISCOVERIES aren't static. Look how many multitudes in the past did not believe in evolution, or, hell, didn't even conceive of such a thing, until Charles Darwin made his many detailed objective observations and drew some new and different conclusions from them. With new input, now we know differently.
Look at Donald Trump, for example. How many times has he stated something that absolutely IS, which looks like shit once more info comes in that proves him wrong? Remember how that plane crashed and his first blurts were "I can practically guarantee this was terrorism." But as searchers and investigators scoured the Mediterranean, they eventually found the black boxes - which eventually
indicated it was more like a technical glitch and onboard fire which brought that plane down. And that's just one example. One TEENY example.
I'd MUCH rather have a President with a flexible mind, who's open to new ideas, new data, new approaches, new findings, new realities, new input! Because it can lead you to change your mind. I just wish those who want to hang her on a TPP gallows would consider that on occasion. And open THEIR minds even just a wee bit. One thing you don't want in a President is rigidity - one of those "I know what I know" people who won't change, despite any and all information that may prove their opinions wrong.
