(58,785 posts)Even if we don't understand the games being played and frown at not always admirable seeming feints and runs, we need to be able to trust underlying principles and goals to remain essentially the same.
I do for Obama and Hillary, but they're both well identified by their own records as solid liberals like me. Her long history in public service, especially, the policy wonk passions she's always worked toward, belie the constant lies about what those principles and goals are.
Gotta say I'd trade either of our betraying hard core, plutocracy serving Georgia senators gladly for the current version of Gillebrand, though, even if I had to hold my nose all the way to the polling place and out again to do it. A frequent experience for a liberal in Georgia.
