The thing that jumped out to me personally was the part about "we all change" you and I both are probably a long ways from where we were 50 years ago, I know I am. In that sense I understand some of the statements that have come out about Hillary, she changed her stand/position on somethings that are important to a lot of us,but unlike my changes and I believe many others also it took time to make those changes, none that I recall came as an epiphany. In Hillary's case she seems to have them quite regularly and they seem to coincide with the positions and stances of her most immediate opponent that appear to be the most popular position at the time...

I was very happy that I lived long enough to see the first black president,and I would like very much to also see the first female president but I want what I consider to be what is best for the country not what is the best for a particular sub sect ie female versus male/black versus white/latino versus Caucasian etc
