    There’s a big difference between an evolving view and just saying whatever you think the people in front of you want to hear and pretending you’ve always thought that.

              Oh, I just hate critizing people for changing their minds… there are so many things wrong with Trump that I’d rather see more of the other angles. Trump is also extremely inconsistent from day to day so calling him a flip flopper just seems like a weak attack - he holds whatever position is politically expedient (see abortion)… so his “stance” on an issue (other than the bizarre ones he fabricates like building a wall or excessive tariffs) don’t really mean anything.

              So the TL;DR I’d prefer the campaign focus on their own policies and just let the weird senile old man shout at the wind without giving him any media attention.
