Politicians in general do and say what they have to do to promote their agenda, even it means double talk and back pedalling. Maybe not all, but most. Besides, issues change over time and as we are presented with more information, our views should mature. Politicans are no different. They can change their mind just like the rest of us. A view someone held two or three years ago could have legitimately changed based on new information. I'm a Republican and I'm not a fan of Hillary, but she's no worse than any other politician from either side of the aisle.
"Differences can be resolved in ways that are fair to all, but reason must prevail over passion if there is to be a climate conducive to the settlement of disagreements."
