Damn. People can change. His 1970's statements indicate a failure IndyOp Jun 2019 #19

We ALL make mistakes. But I am wary of any Presidential candidate pnwmom Jun 2019 #12

And that inability to acknowledge mistakes is a mistake he makes over and over. Demit Jun 2019 #14

I'm less troubled by the inability to admit a mistake- a problem- than by tendency to play victim EffieBlack Jun 2019 #21
