Hillary Clinton's Multiple Personality Disorder
By Ed Lasky
Most politicians change their positions for political purposes. Only one national politician routinely changes her own identity -- her accents, her name, her personality and even her height -- to become likeable enough to get elected. She is flailing and failing. What does it say about her view of us?
Hillary Clinton has capitalized on identity politics throughout her political career. The irony of her practice is that she has shifted and changed her own “identity” throughout her political career -- a career that began during her years at Wellesley, if not before.
We are used to politicians “trimming” their positions and agendas to gain support. Recently, Chuck Todd showed Hillary Clinton a montage of her own flip-flops but all but the most principled politicians are contortionists. They respond to political polling and focus groups and electoral math. They never admit to this practice but they all do it to get elected. Normally, they credit themselves -- and their backers join in -- for having “evolved.” A lot of evolution seems to occur when one enters the political arena -- it is a dog-eat-dog world where only the most electable survive and prosper.
But how many actually have felt so little of themselves and so little of the American people that they radically shift their own personalities and images -- somehow thinking they can bamboozle Americans into believing they are who they are not?
Clinton has long suffered from what politicos have called a “personality deficit.” In an early 2008 debate with Barack Obama this weakness was highlighted when the issue arose and Barack Obama gallantly (not) told her she was likeable “enough.” But that has been the crux of her political problems; none of her personalities have been likeable enough. She keeps trying to find a new one that fits and none have because she has been on the stage too long for the public not to notice all the costume changes. The serial reboots just are not taking.
