(8,217 posts)I understand that the operative word is changing one's mind, however, as President that just does not cut it.
She wishes to lead, but in general, she merely follows what is popular or makes a calculation on what would make her look good.
In essence, she changes her position, story, even her accent, dependent on where she is, who she's talking to, and the crowd's position.
She went from Moderate to Progressive, to not even bothering with the pretense of being a Progressive, where to me it all came to a head on the NY debate.
In the NY debate, she debated like a Republican War Hawk. Starting off with 9/11, the insistence of the "I did this", and in other debates, changing her position within the hour.
It really makes me question her grasp on policy, history and everything else at best, some would just call her a liar/panderer outright.
So, start with consistency. Figure out exactly what her bottom line is. Figure out, what is it exactly that she wants to be able to do as President if she can actually get things done. Figure out the best possible outcome, and negotiate from there, stick with it.
I mean, she changes her mind so much that some would question her decision making abilities, as she's been wrong in so many issues.
So, start there.
