Hillary Clinton the Real Single Issue Candidate

Recent polling from Nevada suggests that Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are running neck and neck in that state. Once thought to be a state firmly in the Hillary Clinton camp, it now appears something of a toss-up.

Hillary Clinton's campaign is clearly in trouble.

So what to do?
 
It appears that Hillary's campaign hasn't found a solution. Democrats are clearly resonating with the Sander agenda of protecting Americans and the economy against big banks, enacting medicare for all as a solution to the disastrous Obama care which was mainly a gift to the insurance companies, free college tuition, fighting income inequality that continues to grow no matter which corporate sponsored candidate is made President, fairness and justice for all Americans, building America's infrastructure, protecting American in the work place and helping them to keep their jobs, real economic growth based on real jobs that pay a living wage, a sensible immigration policy, a more reasoned foreign policy other than our current program of destabilize, invade, bomb and repeat ad nauseum.

Clinton is charging that Sanders is a single issue candidate which clearly he is not. But we can say definitely that Hillary is for whatever she thinks will help get her elected in whatever state she is campaigning in. Clinton has changed her position on TPP, another supposed "free trade" program that will decimate American jobs even worse than NAFTA. She has decided that she would be tough on the big banks if she needs to be and she says she knows how to do it. Obviously the big banks didn't pay her hundreds of thousands in speaking fees because they like the sound of her voice.

So what issue is Hillary truly supporting regardless of its ability to get her elected. Clinton's main issue is that she is power hungry. She already is worth at least 45 million dollars
so money is not an issue. This is a pretty good sum for merely working in the public sector jobs that paid a couple hundred thousand or so a year. Amazing how these politicians are so good at managing their money.

But Hillary is into power and needs it as much as most people need to eat. She will do just about anything, say just about anything, and attack just about anybody in order to get what she needs most--power.

 More, Flame, Fire, Brand, Burn, Better
 
No matter who wins the Democratic primaries and even the Presidency. Clinton will always be left with an insatiable desire for power and that is her single issue. This insatiable desire for power is rooted in a seriously maladjusted personality and cannot be satiated by hundreds or even billions of dollars. It cannot even be satiated by the power she craves since there will always be the need for more power. Like an addict always needing more of a drug, Clinton is simply a power addict. A good 12 step program might help Hillary overcome this addiction. But like most addicts, it is a good bet that Hillary doesn't see it as a problem.
