To me trotting out things people said in the past is not a mirror of who they are today, its just politics as usual.
Can't blames the Conservatives for doing it but the main drama queens are the ones making it out like a couple bad decisions mean Trudeau is 100 percent an idiot.
By those standards you've gotta spend a lot of time self-loathing.

You can't teach smart. This is the second time in a short period of time that these views have come out.
Its not like these were statements from 10 years ago. There are two inflammatory in a short period of time
Has Trudeau actually stood out and done anything memorable in Parliament I can't recall anything.
you can usually see who is going to be a leader and who is not very quickly in politics.
Lets be frank, our mayor is incredibly inexperienced in politics, and he's been decent. Klein was incredible in his inexperience.
You could argue that Harper was a pretty heavy political mover and shaker even when he first got into politics.
Truedeau is pretty much being exposed as a guy without substance or brains.
He's not being exposed as an inexperienced politician.
I would hope that moderate Liberal's cringe when he speaks, but then again the DM stuff might be showing that the more radical elements in the Liberal party are taking roots.
The Liberal's are a party that's been shifting from centrist to the left in a very NDP manner since they lost Paul Martin, the problem is that the NDP does left far better and are eating the Liberal support base among the lefties. The Conservatives are devouring their immigrant voter base.
The Liberal's really need to get pummeled in the next election if Trudeau wins the leadership, I'm talking two seat territory here, that way the reformist elements in the party can bounce out the red Liberals
