Train Wreck

With each day, there is yet another example of the ineptitude, backstabbing, prevarication, and a generally half-assed approach to campaigning by Hillary and the Clintonistas. We sort of shake our heads and wonder, why is this happening. These are smart people. Why do they seem to lurch from reaction to reaction. Why do they seem so ham handed.

The culture of an organization comes from the top. The tone of an organization is set by the CEO and other members of senior management. Hillary sets the tone. The campaign is a reflection of her. It is a reflection of who she is.

Early in this blog I wrote about Hillary's lack of authenticity. There are many examples of of that. If you spend a lifetime, as she has, playing to whatever audience you are before, you tend to lose your authentic self. Then, when a crisis occurs, you are never able to react in an honest, straight forward authentic way. You have become divorced from your gut, intuitive response. And, if you have a gut response, you have, over time, lost trust in it. Hillary and Bill compulsively poll to test the waters.

What a sorry state of affairs that is. A crisis looms. Lets poll the voters and see what I should do or say. How ridiculous! The voters ache for authenticity. They want to elect people that they first of all trust as human beings. Policy positions, I am convinced, are secondary.

Voters make decisions with their reptilian brains. These sense bullshit and the absence of authenticity. Hillary and the Clintonistas provide the voters daily confirmation of their inability to be authentic.

The lastest conflagration around Geraldine Ferraro is a classic example of that. Hillary was slow to condemn the racist remarks of Ferraro because, I am convinced, those remarks play well in Pennsylvania, outside of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Rather than respect what I hope was her initial reaction, she tested the waters before distancing herself from Ferraro and then, it was only mildly stated.

Hillary and her campaign are a train wreck.
