(57,936 posts)Hillary has changed her mind on so many issues -- and now sort of half-way agrees with Bernie.
That is the greatest tribute to Bernie's perspicacity.
perspicacity:
noun
1.
keenness of mental perception and understanding; discernment; penetration.
2.
Archaic. keen vision.

Perspicacity is what Bernie has in such great abundance. And that is so rare in today's politicians.
It is that trait in Bernie that reminds me so much of our great Founders like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and John Adams. The wisdom and ability to see what the effects will be down the road of policies we put into effect now.
It would be a crying shame if the country elects anyone but Bernie for the next president.
We would be missing the greatest opportunity since FDR.

(1,268 posts)I am hoping there was a segment of the population who saw this and told themselves they like Bernie's vision for the country. He was very clear and concise to Charlie's questions.
I am praying that when it comes to to mark that ballot they will make a clear common sense decision of what their future holds. Climate change, as an example, should be a top-priority issue for many Americans. Lets hope they are paying attention.

Edited to add. Outstanding. I urge Clinton supporters and undecideds especially to watch.

(84,711 posts)that Hillary has recently changed her positions on Key Issues that he has a track record on opposing for most of his political career.
How recently has Hillary changed her position on Iraq Invasion, Key Stone Pipeline, Breaking up Big Banks? Plus, it was only a couple of days before the First Dem Debate that she suddenly backtracked on the TPP "Trade" Agreement with language that leaves open her ability to change her mind again...since she's changed it before along with the other important campaign issues that she's conveniently changed her mind on to cut off her competition.
If anything Bernie is being gracious in not pointing out that she is doing Political Flip Flops just because she's now running for President. He is confident that people will figure that out as the campaign continues.
