Hypothetical questions: Shouldn't a politician currently running in a primary for high office

[lapucelle]

at least have known what policies their state had actually implemented several years prior to the original complaint, before continuing to complain that their state needed to implement those policies?

And if that politician is asked about that previous on-the-record stance, shouldn't they simply admit that they jumped on a bandwagon because it seemed popular at the time, instead of dissembling by insisting that a word doesn't mean what it quite literally means?

And shouldn't all candidates follow FEC rules and release their financials because voters have a right to know?
