That Hillary Clinton is a world class flip-flopper is nothing new. There's a long list of them here. But this reversal was impressive even for her.
Watch as the leading democrat dissembles.
Watch as she goes full circle.
Watch the sheer hypocrisy.
The remarkable part is how abruptly the flop flop occurred. In March Clinton was going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.

April 13: Peabody Coal files for bankruptcy.
The democrat primary in West Virginia takes place on May 10 and Clinton now seeks the votes of those who she would put out of business. She sent her husband to West Virginia to campaign for her. He was lecturing West Virginians 'about struggling Native American communities and "left behind" parts of America' when they turned on him.
Clinton was making campaign appearances in West Virginia this weekend on behalf of his wife in the run up to the state's May 10 Democratic primary. According to a local news station, WVNS-TV, Logan officials wrote a letter to Manchin's office earlier in the week saying that the Clintons "are simply not welcome in our town," due to Hillary's "anti-coal messages."But the Clinton's have a plan:

Sensing they'd made a tactical error, the Clinton's pirouetted in a New York minute to convince the rubes there they really do stand with them:

There isn’t a take back for her coal statement. It’s been Dem policy all the way. Ask Obama. Ask Biden. Ask the EPA.
Unions or no, I do not understand how anyone connected to the coal industry can continue to vote ‘rat.
Heck...ask Obama. He said basically the same thing back in 2007. Didn’t seen to hurt him.
After you seal up a mine you don’t just walk in and trip a switch. Some cos. that I know of junked their equipment and sold it for scrap metal. The mining industry is not coming back, the Feds and State gov. have been trying for 45 years to put us out and they win. So be prepared to freeze to death in the dark.
She had to flip-flop because her audience was too stupid to understand her.
The Democratic policies of the last 20 years have been help the rich and kill the middle class.
After 8 years of Obama, believe me Coal Country knows that the Democrats are their enemy... They have no shot nationally nationally at anyplace that Coal exists.
I wouldn’t count on that, lots of folks in coal country are gimme dats (made possible by war on coal of course) and will vote accordingly.
No, you can’t get away...from the policies of your party, your administration, and in fact from your own words. To paraphrase, the Internet is a stubborn thing...a politician can’t rely entirely on the stupidity and short memories of the voters anymore.
I must say, that she went on a suicide mission when she went to WV. Either it was incredibly gutsy, or it was just plain idiotic.

It will NEVER, NEVER come back unless civilization falls and this country winds up like as seen in the The Hunger Games. NO company will ever be organized again to mine coal knowing full well that every two or four years, their business could be destroyed by liberals. Same reason there won’t be any more coal-powered generators. Those are capital installations that can cost 500 million to a billion dollars with a lifetime of 30-60 years.
The people who were mining coal had better spend their last dollars on U-Hauls. Seriously.
If you believe that, I question highly how much time you’ve spent in coal country.
Once she gets past the election, she'll be more "flexible", and if she steals it, you might as well dynamite all the mines.
