May 2016

To merely call her a flip-flopper doesn't accurately describe her. She flip-flops with the best of them, but something else is going on. The lack of convictions, or an honest advocacy of those she has, is what is missing. Of course, as Jon speculated maybe she just doesn't have any real convictions other than maximizing her wealth, status, and power. I really suspect the later.
