“Arrogance is often underplayed by insecurity. An arrogant person tends to be arrogant to compensate for areas of weakness that distress the individual.”
Ring a bell?
Arrogance has nothing to do with one who can see your foolish hope for Alan West is ridiculous. Why would I have any insecurity about that?
But I am sure a seasoned politician is going to appoint a running mate who has appeal only to a tiny minority of the electorate. West would be the first to tell you that it is a ridiculous belief.
