    Well there are some politicians deserving of that title. People who change their stance on issues for no reason other than to curry favor with either their party or some other interests. Look at someone like Mitch McConnell. He will change his stances at the drop of a hat if it means he has more power as a result.

      The current GOP frontrunner has changed his political affiliation 5 times. Text book example of what you’re saying: changing positions for power, nothing else.

        Oh I was just giving one example. If we wanted to list all the politicians who do this we’d be here all day.

        Would be faster to list the politicians who don’t behave this way.
