2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary Clinton EVOLVED Today, Yesterday, Last Week, In June And In April UPDATED With May! [View all]
Hillary has pulled an incredible feat of evolving into an almost totally unrecognizable candidate at a pace that would put lesser souls stumbling around for Dramamine to stop the spinning.
Just today, after consulting with over 200 policy experts, and with the prospect of alienating some of her Wall St. donors, Hillary decided that appeasing the left was more important at this time. So she came out with a plan to 'update' Glass Steagall. Not to reinstate it, mind you, just to tinker with it.
Yesterday, after years of supporting the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal and calling it the 'gold standard' of trade; and after pushing it over 45 times! Hillary has decided that she is actually against it.
Last week, and after the Clinton State Department had corrupted the initial studies into the impact of the Keystone XL pipeline, Hillary has made a complete turnaround and is now saying that she opposes the pipeline due to it's possible environmental impacts.
In June, after many years of opposing same sex marriage, Hillary evolved into a 21st century candidate by saying she now supports complete gay rights.
In April, Hillary decided that she wasn't going to get caught like she was in 2008 when Obama stood for issuing Drivers Licenses to the undocumented and she was opposed, so she updated her stance to be in approval of Drivers Licenses for the undocumented.
Hmmm, what do you suppose is causing this frenzy of rapid evolution and did I miss anything?
UPDATED:Oops! forgot her evolution in May. Who could forget her change of stance on Iraq? In May she said voting for Iraq invasion was a mistake!
