12. The fellow in the video was very fair and said she changed and ended up voting against Goldwater

But his video does point out how she tends to have one stance on issues then changes to another stance once public opinion is behind it. Look, I am sure she is a great person, I would probably do a lot of the same things to make sure I was a viable candidate but the video does a really nice job showing how Sanders has always been consistent on issues and Hillary tended to wait for the winds to change before getting on board of a lot of important issues. It took guts for someone like Sanders to be for Gay Marriage at a time it was not at all popular. That is real leadership. Times change and because he is talking about socializing a lot of important things perhaps one day they will be so popular and those things will get through but when that time comes it will be because of people like Sanders who spoke up before things were popular. That takes incredible courage and is a style of leadership rarely seen these days.
