2/3 candidates still in the running are millionaires/billionaires and flip flop on their policies. Hmm.

At this rate we might actually be getting that free college and health care Bernie is so fond of.

Reverse Trumpholian Expedition.

Might as well throw that into the stump speeches....Why not?   

Next, he can pull an Oprah and promise everyone a car!

Most candidates every year are millionaires. In fact, Bernie may be one...we won't know because he refuses to release his tax statements. All candidates are much more wealthy than the average citizen! And they ALL "flip flop". The problem with Trump is that he flip flops from day to day. He has no idea where he stands on many important issues and doesn't take the time to learn about the issues to form more coherent reasoning.

Not you comparing someone flipflopping over a period of days to someone changing a stance over the course of a decade

He's released his tax statements, and he and Jane make less in a year than Hillary made in 1 speech.

One year and it was a partial release. 

He's still wealthy. Interestingly, he paid a lower tax rate than most people do at his income level and his charitable contributions were low. He claimed some kind of serious deduction to get down to that tax rate. Hmm.

Only reason Jill Stein isn't a millionaire is because she's an irrelevant. 

The LKeystone Pipeline and the TPP oppositions happened within the last 2 years. Considering the importance of both of those topics, and the fact that they're well under a decade, they're flip-flopping. If she was elected in 2008, she would have a much different opinion coming out of office. The sky is blue. It's flip-flopping.

He's one of the poorest in the Senate, and a majority of Clinton's "charitable contributions" were to her very own organization. Hmm.

Still wealthy. Still claiming huge deductions and not paying his part in taxes. Still won't release more than one partial year of tax statements. Still took a trip to Italy on a private plane and brought along eight family members, paid for by the poor college students he claims he will help...at a cost of 600,000 dollars of those young adult's donations. Hmm.

People don't get that situations and the world changes over the last eight to ten years, I guess.

She doesn't oppose the TPP, nor does she demonize the Keystone pipeline.

She just realizes it did not have the intended effect and changed her mind about it AFTER evaluations.

See there's a difference in context here. These aren't nebulous stances that anyone can claim like Jill Stein. She actually exercised her beliefs and, through experience, changed her position after reevaluating.

It's hardly comparable to this situation. And again, two years is a very long time, far longer than a week.

Trump on the other hand has never been in elected office, has never exercised his beliefs, and is merely switching from position to position for no reason other than to attract followers.

Stop trying to equate Hillary to Trump. I get that you dislike her but this is ignorant and not the way to go about it.

Hmm. 

Jane has done his taxes for years on TurboTax, and by hand before that. It's not like they can afford to have entire teams dedicated to their taxes. It takes time to get all of these records. Also, I've donated to his campaign, and I consider the trip to the Vatican, to which he was an invited guest to speak of moral economics, a very important visit. Not upset in the slightest. It's campaign funds. Hmm.
