“What amuses me about this is that some of you get mad when he changes his mind about something even when he changes it to a position you agree with! It is as if a candidate ever expressed an opinion or policy at any time with which you disagree, he is forever unacceptable as a candidate, even if he later changes his position to one with which you agree!”

Then you don’t get the value of honesty and integrity. If someone is flipping close to running for an office, it is disingenuous. They can’t be trusted and could flip again once elected. Seems obvious considering all the RINOs have done this repeatedly.

Might be time to escape Mexifornia. Looks like the values of that fascist Mecca are rubbing off on you.

So in your mind, once someone states an opinion, if they ever change their mind and express a different opinion then they are being dishonest and have no integrity???

Look, I don't know if Walker's change of heart on immigration is real or if it is just political convenience. I think we will have to watch his campaign to see what policies he proposes and how he proceeds going forward, and ultimately, it will come down to whether or not you believe him. I am just not prepared to eliminate him as a potential candidate simply based on the fact that he changed his mind. I think his record in Wisconsin, a very blue state, has been consistently conservative, though perhaps not as conservative as I am on all issues.

If I had to pick a candidate that was closest to me in ideology, it would be Cruz. He is an excellent orator, so given the chance, he may be able to win over moderates and independents. But since California votes so late in the primary process, I seriously doubt I will have a chance to vote for him. I will not support Bush, Christie or Paul, so I am keeping my eyes open to see who might make it that late into the race that I could support, even if I don't agree with them on everything.
