See, the last sentence was just so unnecessary and diminishes your credibility on the first three sentences. Even as an anti-Trump voter I agree with a lot of what you say in those first three sentences. I even think the "values haven't changed" line is stupid and pandering.
Just say you've changed your mind based on changing circumstances and what you've learned. Don't be afraid to do change a position, but do be prepared to justify that change. So you and I are in accord there and her answer was weak and ineffectual.
But then you drop the sentence about sex quid pro quo and you just defeat the rationality of what you said a moment before.
