Her stance on gay marriage seems to have been just poll chasing. I wonder if she really cared either way about gay marriage. Was there a time where her evolving position jumped ahead of the polls? I cannot think of it.
On the TPP, the current version, which is still reprehensible, has more protections for labor and reduces protections for drug companies. The labor protections were weaker and the protection of drug company patents were stronger when she was negotiating it. So now she is against it? This is so absurdly cynical.
On the Keystone her opposition isn't even really opposition. She consideres it a "distraction from the real work of fighting climate change" (paraphrased). She could easily trade it off in a deal for some very weak-sauce legislated compromises. She never really agreed with the scientists who think this is one of the more horrible deals for the environment. She doesn't stand on the principle or the science, but on some idea of a future deal that she never actually outlines. Cynical, cynical, cynical...
I am still kicking and recommending this post.
