I should have asked if Republicans and Democrats have different views on this

It is only weakness because then she can say "saying sorry does not change what you did" then i say "but i apologized" she just repeats so i dump her. better to skip the rehash.

Only to people you love and or respect. To others, never give an inch.

It's not a sign of weakness at all. Actually, it takes more strength and courage to admit your mistake.

The first step is admitting the mistake. The next step is learning from that mistake.

It is a sign of admittance which leads to vulnerability

It is not a sign of weakness but a lot of people treated as if it is.

Re your update: Republicans will never admit they were wrong or made a mistake. Democrats are not much better but occasionally will admit wrongs if pressed.
