  1. This guy is scared to death of constituent questions. He KNOWS he isn’t smart enough to have the job he has, he KNOWS he hasn’t read the bills and doesn’t have the faintest understanding of the details, and he lives in mortal fear of being found out.

    This fear, in turn, leads him to act out by blowing up, which in effect ends the conversations and saves him from the humiliation of exposure. In his mind, it is far better to be thought a hot-head who flies off the handle at the drop of a fedora than to be seen as hopelessly stupid.

    I’m not a psychiatrist, but I play one on the interwebs.
