Hillary has changed her principles and policies plenty over the last 30 years. There is a very interesting YouTube video that shows interviews with Trump beginning in 1980 and ending around the time he officially declared he was running for president in 2016 and he is so consistent about what he says through the years. The video made me rethink my decision to stay home in November. I showed my Trump-hating husband the video (could not believe he watched it because he HATED Trump!) and he said something along the lines of Trump being very consistent over a 35 year period. My husband is very cynical and doesn't change his mind very easily, so the fact that he watched the video and didn't say anything negative about Trump is a very big deal. Not sure if he will vote in 2016, but if he does, it's not going to be for Hillary. He thinks she is very corrupt and dishonest. He is also a minority and recently became a registered voter. This will be his first presidential election he can vote in. I hope he votes.[/quote]

The US and the world have changed a lot since 1980.  Even the finest, most upstanding person has changed since then.  Whether Clinton is corrupt and dishonest or not, it's not an indictment of her to say that her policies and principles have changed.  I won't say it's an indictment of Trump that his principles haven't changed, although I think it does him no credit (he was a Democrat in 1980).  His principles are of a businessman, a salesman.  His desire to abandon our trade treaties, our allies, and our principles (the Geneva Convention) are very US-centric -- he's not a politician so he's welcome to his principles, but they are very unusual on the national stage.  Are we to hope that he doesn't actually mean them?[/quote]
