Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumHave you noticed that every one else flip-flops except for Hillary
It is absurd that she says Bernie flips-on guns yet she herself is the serial flip-flopper. I think she should be portrayed as the indecisive one.

(8,879 posts)I agree, though. The idea that Bernie is some sort of serial vacillator is insane.

(14,177 posts)he made a move to undercut Hillary on the gun issue. And even though I don't completely agree with the timing the way it was done or maybe even the issue itself, I am still going to vote for him.
The same with Hillary she doesn't always flip flop either she just figures out what to say that her audience is going to like and avoids saying things she thinks they won't like.

(14,177 posts)We can call it flip flopping that is fine. But, I see it as being a lot more calculating than that. Hillary reminds me of Romney in that way she sticks her finger in the air and tries to tailor her message to what her audience wants to hear. Even that would be fine by me to a degree because when you give a speech the first rule is to know your audience. But, she gives out so little of herself when she gives her speeches. Almost nothing she says gives us insight into what kind of person she is so all her changes leads one to think that she is insincere. Now, if we call Bernie on flip flopping fine. But, he doesn't do this all the time. He doesn't do it to pander to his audience and when he does it, it seems to come from him and not what he thinks people want to hear.

in a good way.
