The Clinton Playbook

It's super simple, there is only one thing they do: if they win, the flip everyone, even the people who got them there, the bird. The day of their 1992 Inauguration, they gave the press the 'talk to the hand' treatment. When they lose, 100% of the time, they claim that the fight was unfair. It's very simple: anything that does not go their way is a miscarriage of justice. Now they are blaming the press for falling behind Obama. It couldn't be that their race-baiting blew up in their face. The fact that Bill has been a pathetic scab, lying about his own record on the war, and two weeks later calling Obama's position a 'fairy tale.' Or the fact that Hillary's whole campaign has been a complete joke, arguing that she is the experience candidate for change. Now, we find out that the campaign has been incredibly mismanaged. They spent a fortune in Iowa and came in third. Apparently, inside the org, there are screaming matches. They have had to sack team members for crossing the line again and again. And this is the candidate running on the 'I am the one who can run the country best' platform?

Interestingly, as this all plays out, the economy is going in the toilet thanks to the mismanagement of the idiots on Wall Street. Gee, what do these guys do? Throw tantrums like little babies. Read it here. Is it a coincidence that Hillary represents these guys? It is probably giving the Clintons too much credit to call them sociopaths, though this definition does contain elements that are undeniably bullseyes: 'amoral robots' 'main goal is to win.' 

A very strong case can be made that this pathology is at the core of the rudderless drift in the US now: decades of leadership that is not only lost but has lapsed into undeniable pathology. The great film The Corporation diagnosed this in the business sector. Let's just admit that this disease has spread and taken hold in politics. Obama is a vote for the idea of leadership that has a modicum of mental health going for it; for discarding the yoke of bug-eyed, fear mongering rule.
