    I mean. To dismiss everything because one mistake, even if that mistake is massive, and then correcting that mistake, if belatedly, to me, says something very positive about that politician.

    even if it’s clear that he’s been doubling down on that mistake when presented with the evidence and then only switched it’s become clear that the tide has begun turn?

      Better late than never?

      Would you rather the kind of politician that just lies constantly?

        that’s what i’m getting at, he’s lying (either to himself and/or to the rest of us) and will go with whatever will cause the least friction; aka a follower, not a leader.
