As far as your allusion goes, name a politician who does not tend to swing with the way the poll winds blow.

I agree elg, she did finally post her policies that she "now" stands for. And I also agree that politicians tend to swing with the way the winds blow.
But, the problem I have is, she's not only swung, she's gone a total 180 on everything she stood for in the past. Yes, they all flip...or flop...or flip flop, but usually it's over a bit of time. She has immediately just recently flip flopped on every single policy she used to stand for to try and appease both sides of the Dem Party (the Dem far left & the Dem centrists). As well as gain votes from the undecided/Independent voters. I honestly don't think it's going to play out well for her in the end.
You cannot suddenly ride the fence when you were once a far left policy supporter. It's way too hard for me to believe her that she's truly changed her views. I also don't believe the voters out there that are still undecided believe her either. Although, as she's stated, she has not changed her values.
Edit/Add: I wish somebody would ask her, since she suddenly knows so much about how the economy works, if she could tell us the difference between a strong balance sheet and a weak balance sheet. Would her answer start with her growing up in a middle class family (which isn't true)?
