Soundwave said: What does it tell you when you reverse course on you core campaign ideals because you're told by people in your own party and your own allies that they are stupid ideas? It shows you are not fit to be president. This isn't a reality TV show where things can be re-edited/refilmed if you fuck something up, real life doesn't work like that, and there is not bankruptcy court to bail you out when you make a bunch of bad business moves. |
That's what the vast majority of politicians do. Almost none of them are actually principled people who have honest positions they really believe in.
Changing your position from 1 thing you made up to get votes to another thing that might get more votes, because it's better, seems a pretty good outcome to me, given the nature of the system.
