It is noteworthy that “Stronger Together” does not reflect how Clinton is running her campaign. Obama ran, and governed, on a policy of reaching across the aisle and bipartisan cooperation. In contrast, Clinton has not made a cooperative administration a priority in campaigning. For that matter, her record of cooperation within the Democratic party is pretty poor, witness the Democratic primaries where Clinton surrogates in the national committee actively worked against candidates on the left wing of the party. She certainly doesn’t see herself as being stronger together with the press as her record with media engagement is exceedingly lacking. The Clinton campaign is based on her being such a personal and individual force that the electorate should support her because she’s Hilary Clinton, not so much because of her attributes as a stateswoman. The occasional narratives of it being “her time” are demonstrative. The presidency is not an office to be passed down to those waiting in line, but one that must be earned through engagement with others. Deeper still, the focus on Clinton as a personality reveals her personal flaws. She’s consistently been behind the curve on a variety of issues, taking stances because of political expediency rather than principle. While a leader may go far as a personal force, Clinton is but a follower of the crowd.
