Fair enough on the oscillations. Flip flopping might be not exactly what I meant. Fair-weather still applies. She adopts positions conveniently after it is acceptable to do so instead of taking a stand and being a leader. See Iraq, Gay marriage, TPP, etc.
I prefer leadership and principle over convenience in my politicians, even though it might be unpopular or not 'pragmatic'. It is a personal thing. It reflects my personal values, which is why I would not make a very successful politician.
Where did I say Hillary is particularly worse than other politicians? In fact, being able to play ball and being calculating about what stances she adopts contributes to both her success and her lack of appeal. It is hard to know what her vision for America is. Everything she says seems like it is put together by panels.
I'd like to emphasize that I don't dislike her personally at all. Voted for her in 08 primary and will vote for her in November.
