Inauthentic is an invalid complaint with politicians, unless it's to the extreme. Was Obama inauthentic because he can debate policy, with old white men and sing amazing grace at a wake? Of course not. Was he inauthentic to sit down with world leaders and embrace their customs? Was he inauthentic to make a deal with Hillary, after a vicious primary? The art of being a diplomat, a politician, is being versed in different viewpoints, and strategic advantage, that's the game.

If you just want a Bernie or a Trump, I guess, but by definition, politics, and many, many other positions, including often our own lives, require shifting, opportunistic views, being able to move and relate with different walks of life. Doing cheap gotcha stuff has become a very millennial trend, I guess some blue collar goon "says what he means, and means what he says" the rest of us require less secular views.
The game has changed. People are fed up with political double speak. You just highlighted how Obama was able to be duplicitous and still come off as authentic. Maybe seeing the type of president we got directly after illustrates he didn't pull it off as well as he or some people think.

If he picks a woman he's basically saying he doesn't want to get elected
