    Flip-flops? I'm OK with Donald Trump flipping--so long as he doesn't flop back.pic.twitter.com/Ad3K4TvzJt

        In most cases, Trump's rabid right wing stands are flips from earlier, so these are flops.

        Thought the flops often end up worse than the flips.

        Trump changes his mind on whims. There is no flipping to begin with because there are no policies beyond a 5th grade understanding.

        Translation: Trump lied about *everything* in order to get elected, but now he's bombing stuff you're fine?

        So you're pro-flip but anti-flop. Noted.

        Trump's initial positions are usually hard right positions, then he gets a little pushback and he flip flops. Zero resolve.

        I'm in the same boat. I'd rather he be inconsistently right than be consistently wrong. But my fear is that he goes full-Jared-Invanka-Cohn.

        I've noticed he talks big and rough when the person is not in front of him but as soon as he sits down with him he changes his attitude

        If he perceives that he's having success he'll stay the course..truly a daunting fact for anyone who happens to be winning his influence now

        It seems to depend on the last person that he spoke to. I would wager he will flop back and forth again. His brain doesn't work.

        I'm okay with the credibility of politicians running for office being destroyed even more. Betraying angry voters won't have consequences.

        Matt is one of the rare gems/balanced folks at CNN. He might be the only one. Won’t carry water tries to see both sides.
