Clinton says her Keystone XL position isn't a flip-flop -- and PolitiFact agrees: (HILLARY GROUP)

....Our conclusion

Clinton said, "I never took a position on Keystone until I took a position on Keystone."

In 2010, she said the administration was "inclined" to back it, but she qualified that statement by noting that the analysis was not complete, and the administration had not taken a final position. While this shows a more positive attitude toward Keystone XL than Clinton’s position today, it was not a firm stance.

Other than that one comment, Clinton did not indicate her position on Keystone until she announced that she opposed it in September 2015.

We rate Clinton's position a No Flip.

facts do not trump opinion - for a whole lot of people and not just Republicans.

Hillary will remain 'the flip-flopper' and 'untrustworthy' because that is the opinion. It is now a 'religious conviction' - and that is what is so sad.

But - another religious conviction - 'the end is near!'
