    Seems like a fine response to me.

    There isn’t anything inherently wrong with changing your stance on issues given more, and updated information. I think most voters would be glad to vote for someone who says “Yeah, I changed my mind, did you see this last study? We need to do something about this.”

    A candidate who just “sticks to their guns” is certainly not one you want in office in changing times. Why is this even a fucking question?

    Trump’s head is stuck in his childhood. He wants things back the way they were in the 60’s. He’s unflinchingly dedicated to making that happen, and to absolve himself of his many crimes, which is why he is running. Fuck.That.Noise.

    Totally fine, politicians change their views. The more concerning thing for me was this:

    The Democratic nominee also revealed that she would name a Republican to serve in her Cabinet if elected

    Why?!? The people give the president power by voting them into office, the president wields that power on our behalf. Now would not be the time to share our power with the party that doesn’t believe in democracy. I can’t think of any good reason to voluntarily give a cabinet post to the other side, bipartisanship is not the point here.
