    Just took a stroll through his Wikipedia page and he does seem a better than average politician

    • Has a record of defeating incumbent Republicans

    • Seems to be on the proper side of most policy

    • But more importantly, by far, seems to be a guy actually capable of learning from his mistakes

      Unfortunately many people like when their guy never makes mistakes (or at least convinces you that all of their egregious mistakes are someone else’s fault or were never actually mistakes to begin with)

        Exactly, and often “we” even fault them from changing opinions which renders politicians unable to correct any stance

        There is a huge difference between a flip flopper and someone who actually learns from the nuance of the issues and shifts their stance
